Meridian: There Are Reasons To Be Optimistic Now (Rating Upgrade)

Meridian's balance sheet and earnings have shown strong growth, with deposits and loan books expanding and net income rising significantly year-over-year. Asset quality has improved to a satisfactory level, though some non-performing loan metrics remain elevated and warrant ongoing attention for risk. The stock remains attractively valued, trading at a low P/E multiple compared to peers, and has outperformed the S&P 500 since my last review.

Meridian Corporation: Too Early For An Upgrade

Meridian Corporation remains cheap on valuation and continues to grow its balance sheet, but asset quality concerns persist, justifying my 'hold' rating. Deposit growth is solid, and uninsured deposit exposure is below my risk threshold, but high-brokered deposit levels warrant caution. Loan growth is healthy with minimal office exposure, but profitability metrics like return on assets and equity fall short of my standards.

Meridian Corporation: Still A Buy Despite A Downward Revision Of Earnings

The apparent weakness in the housing market will keep mortgage banking income low. I've reduced my EPS estimate because I've slashed my mortgage banking income estimate. The net interest margin will likely continue to expand, as asset yields will likely be stickier than funding costs. Further, a sizable balance of CDs will roll over soon.
