Law Firms Probe Merchants Bancorp After Deposit Drop and Sharp Stock Decline Multiple securities law firms, including Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, Levi & Korsinsky, and Pomerantz LLP, have opened investigations into Merchants Bancorp and certain officers and directors.
The investigations focus on whether Merchants Bancorp made materially false or misleading statements about the sustainability and composition of its deposit growth.
Scrutiny follows the company’s Q1 2026 disclosure that brokered deposits were roughly 50% lower year over year and that funding costs were materially higher, alongside a stock price decline of more than 9%.
The core issue for investors to monitor is potential misalignment between prior communications on deposit growth and the later disclosure of a sharp brokered deposit decline and higher funding costs. This contrast raises questions about management’s transparency and risk controls.
While investigations alone do not establish wrongdoing, they introduce headline and legal risk. It can be useful to track any formal actions or restatements that might affect capital, funding flexibility or confidence in leadership. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • May 04

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.1% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.1% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.8% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Jul 30

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 5.8% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Major Estimate Revision • May 06
