Amalgamated Financial: No Longer Attractively Priced Following The Tariff Announcements (Rating Downgrade)
Summary The overall economic slowdown, steel and aluminum tariffs, and mass deportations can hurt the C&I and multifamily markets in New York City. The net interest margin will likely continue to drop because of anticipated Fed funds rate cuts. I’m reducing my EPS estimate to $3.25 from my previous estimate of $3.50 for 2025. I’m downgrading to hold because AMAL is currently offering a dividend yield of just 1.9% and a small price downside. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 25
Amalgamated Financial: Margin To Lift Earnings, Buy
Summary While Amalgamated Financial's commercial loan segments will suffer because of an uncertain business environment, solar loans will likely continue to surge. The management is planning to fund loan growth by liquidating securities. This will shift the asset mix towards higher-yielding assets, thereby lifting the net interest margin. Due to the withdrawal of political deposits, the funding mix has worsened, which should hurt the margin in 1Q-2025. The situation will improve as political deposits are rebuilt. I'm maintaining a buy rating as AMAL is offering an expected price upside of 9.1% and a dividend yield of 1.9%. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 30
Amalgamated Financial: Still Bullish After Terrific Upside
Summary Amalgamated Financial, focusing on mission-based customer segments, has seen significant growth in deposits, loans, and net interest income, making it a strong investment. Shares have risen 37.1% since May, outperforming the S&P 500, driven by improved margins, higher revenue, and strong asset quality. Despite shares not being as cheap as before, the bank's high-quality assets and attractive pricing relative to peers justify a 'soft buy' rating. With continued balance sheet growth and a solid return on equity, further upside for Amalgamated Financial is likely, warranting ongoing investment attention.

Amalgamated Financial: A Positive Outlook Due To Political Deposits And Organic Loan Growth
Summary Earnings will benefit this year from on and off-balance sheet political deposits. The residential mortgage segment will likely drive loan growth next year. It will counter the negative effect of interest rate cuts on the margin. I’m increasing my earnings estimate following the better-than-expected first-half results. The December 2025 target price suggests a small upside from the current market price. Additionally, AMAL is offering a dividend yield of 1.6%. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Amalgamated Financial: Strong Earnings Growth Appears Priced In
Summary Investments in human resources, and certain economic factors will keep loan growth at a decent level. However, loan growth will decline from the unusually high second-quarter level. Neither the assets nor the liabilities are very rate-sensitive. The December 2022 target price suggests a small upside from the current market price. Further, AMAL is offering a low dividend yield. Earnings of Amalgamated Financial Corp. (AMAL) will continue to surge through the end of 2023. Strong loan growth will likely be the chief catalyst for earnings in the next year and a half. Further, moderate margin expansion will support the bottom line. On the other hand, higher provisioning for expected loan losses will constrain earnings growth. Overall, I'm expecting Amalgamated Financial to report earnings of $2.35 per share for 2022, up 40% year-over-year. For 2023, I'm expecting earnings to grow by a further 12% to $2.63 per share. The year-end target price is quite close to the current market price. Therefore, I'm adopting a hold rating on Amalgamated Financial Corp. Loan Growth to Decelerate from Second Quarter’s Unsustainable Level Amalgamated Financial's loan book grew by an outstanding 10% in the first half of 2022, or 20% annualized, which is quite unusual given the historical trend. Going forward, loan growth will likely remain at a decent level due to team expansion plans. Amalgamated Financial is planning to invest in talent, which should further propel loan growth. This hiring would be broad-based and ‘across critical roles’, as mentioned in the earnings presentation. Amalgamated Financial has a well-diversified loan portfolio with various types of loans, from residential real estate to commercial and industrial loans to consumer solar loans. Geographically as well, Amalgamated Financial is very diverse with its digital banking platform offering banking services across the country. Physically, however, Amalgamated Financial is present in only New York City, Washington D.C., and San Francisco. Given the profile of the company's portfolio, the U.S. coincident index is a good gauge of credit demand as it is broad-based and includes several economic indicators. As shown below, the index is in a good place in a historical context. Philly Fed US Coincident Index data by YCharts The Conference Board's Leading Economic Index is also an appropriate indicator of credit demand. This index, however, presents a less rosy picture of the economic outlook, which is bad news for credit demand. The Conference Board Given the mixed economic outlook, I'm expecting loan growth to decelerate to 8% annualized in the second half of 2022. For 2023, I'm expecting further deceleration to 4%. Margin to Expand Moderately due to Rising Interest Rates Amalgamated Financial's net interest margin expanded by 27 basis points during the second quarter of 2022 mostly due to loan growth. The rising rate environment also contributed to the increase in the margin, but to a limited extent. As can be gleaned from information given in the second quarter's 10-Q filing, only around 30% of the loan portfolio will re-price or mature within a year. Further, only around 32% of the securities portfolio carries variable rates, as mentioned in the presentation. Therefore, the average earning asset yield is not very responsive to rate hikes. Fortunately, the deposit cost is also quite sticky. Non-interest-bearing deposits made up a whopping 54% of total deposits at the end of June 2022. These deposits will restrain the average deposit cost as market interest rates rise. The results of the management's interest-rate sensitivity analysis given in the 10-Q filing show that a 200-basis points hike in interest rates could boost the net interest income by 6.9% over twelve months. Considering these factors, I'm expecting the margin to increase by ten basis points in the second half of 2022, before stabilizing in 2023. Higher-than-Average Provisioning Likely Allowances were 161.8% of nonaccrual loans at the end of June 2022. This coverage seems a bit tight, but I'm not too concerned because a majority of the loans are backed by real estate. Additionally, most of Amalgamated Financial’s loans are based on fixed rates. Therefore, higher interest rates will not hurt the debt servicing ability of a majority of the company’s borrowers. However, high inflation could lead to financial stress for borrowers; consequently, it could damage the portfolio’s credit quality. Further, like other banks, Amalgamated Financial may want to bolster its reserves due to the threats of a recession. Considering these factors, I'm expecting the provision expense to be slightly above average for the second half of 2022 and full-year 2023. I'm expecting the net provision expense to make up around 0.31% of total loans (annualized) in each quarter till the end of 2023. In comparison, the net provision expense averaged 0.27% of total loans in the last three years. Expecting Earnings to Surge by 40% Earnings of Amalgamated Financial will likely surge this year mostly on the back of strong loan growth. Further, the subdued margin expansion will support the bottom line. On the other hand, higher provisioning will restrict earnings growth. Overall, I'm expecting Amalgamated Financial to report earnings of $2.35 per share for 2022, up 40% year-over-year. For 2023, I'm expecting the company to report earnings of $2.63 per share, up 12% year-over-year. The following table shows my income statement estimates. FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22E FY23E Income Statement Net interest income 167 180 174 225 248 Provision for loan losses 4 25 (0) 11 12 Non-interest income 29 41 28 29 30 Non-interest expense 128 134 132 145 156 Net income - Common Sh. 47 46 53 73 82 EPS - Diluted ($) 1.47 1.48 1.68 2.35 2.63 Source: SEC Filings, Earnings Releases, Author's Estimates (In USD million unless otherwise specified) Actual earnings may differ materially from estimates because of the risks and uncertainties related to inflation, and consequently the timing and magnitude of interest rate hikes. Further, a stronger or longer-than-anticipated recession can increase the provisioning for expected loan losses beyond my estimates. Erosion in Equity Book Value Likely Due to a large balance of fixed-rate available-for-sale securities, Amalgamated Financial’s equity book value has plunged so far this year. As interest rates increased, the market value of the available-for-sale securities declined, leading to sizable unrealized losses. These losses skipped the income statement and flowed into the equity account through other comprehensive income, as per relevant accounting standards. Amalgamated Financial’s tangible book value dropped to $15.69 per share at the end of June 2022 from $17.56 per share at the end of December 2021. Going forward, the tangible book value will slip further as I'm anticipating a 150 basis points hike in interest rate in the second half of 2022 (including the 75 basis points raise in July). However, as mentioned in the presentation, Amalgamated Financial transferred $277.3 million of available-for-sale securities into the held-to-maturity portfolio during the second quarter to reduce potential mark-to-market volatility. This transference will reduce the impact on the equity book value. Further, retained earnings, as discussed above, will support the book value per share. The following table shows my balance sheet estimates.Analysis Article • Jul 31
