Associated Banc-Corp: Baby Bonds With Good Income, Opportunity To Reset At Higher Yield
Summary Associated Banc-Corp's baby bonds, with a 6.625% coupon, are attractive due to potential higher rates when reset in 2028. The bank's net interest income rose in Q4, driven by a favorable interest rate environment, despite a slight decline in loan balances. Deposit growth outpaced loans, reducing the loan to deposit ratio and positioning the bank to reduce external financing, enhancing profitability. Risks include a heavily commercial loan portfolio and underfunded credit loss allowance, but current loan performance remains strong, making baby bonds a safer bet.

A Downgrade Could Be On The Horizon For Associated Banc-Corp
Summary Associated Banc-Corp has shown significant stock performance, rising 71.9% since October, outperforming the S&P 500's 38.1% increase. Despite higher share prices, the company's asset quality and favorable price-to-book ratios suggest potential for further upside. Recent balance sheet improvements include increased deposits, loan growth, and higher non-interest income, leading to improved profitability. While the stock is nearing a potential downgrade, continued fundamental improvements could justify maintaining the current rating. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Nov 16

Associated Banc-Corp: Reset Rate Baby Bonds Offer Good Income
Summary Associated Banc-Corp has navigated the high rate environment, maintaining stable net interest income and a net interest margin above pandemic levels. Despite a drop in deposits and loan growth challenges, the bank's loan-to-deposit ratio remains stable. Loan performance is a key risk, especially with $5 billion in investor-based commercial real estate; allowance for credit losses is below peers. I recommend the baby bonds for higher income in tax-exempt accounts, given the unpredictable reset rate and low risk of bank failure. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
