This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Aug 10Independent Director exercised options to buy US$153k worth of stock.On the 7th of August, George Collier exercised options to buy 11k shares at a strike price of around US$7.62, costing a total of US$80k.

Meridian's deposits grew to $1.98 billion, but 26% are brokered, making them costlier. The loan portfolio increased to $1.99 billion, with significant commercial mortgage exposure. Net interest income declined due to lower net interest margins, while non-interest income improved, driven by mortgage banking income and favorable loan fair value changes.

Increase in shares outstanding: 2.2% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.2% increase in shares outstanding).Reported Earnings • Oct 25Third quarter 2024 earnings: EPS and revenues exceed analyst expectationsThird quarter 2024 results: EPS: US$0.43 (up from US$0.36 in 3Q 2023).

Market cap: US$99.6m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

New Risk • Oct 16New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings have declined by 16% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Seeking Alpha • Dec 31Meridian Corporation: Downgrading Out Of An Abundance Of CautionSummary After a recent 18% rise in shares, I am downgrading Meridian Corporation from “Buy” to “Hold” due to mixed asset quality and higher relative earnings valuation. Meridian's deposits grew to $1.98 billion, but 26% are brokered, making them costlier. The loan portfolio increased to $1.99 billion, with significant commercial mortgage exposure. Net interest income declined due to lower net interest margins, while non-interest income improved, driven by mortgage banking income and favorable loan fair value changes.

New Risk • Oct 27New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.2% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.2% increase in shares outstanding).

New Risk • Apr 16New minor risk - Market cap sizeThe company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$99.6m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.
