I'm based in the UK and mainly use IB for cost reasons - not sure how many brokers here are going to trade this, oh well. Really like the substack btw - a nice break from only looking at large caps at work. Hingham is another really well run bank - although they've had a strong run this year - worth keeping an eye on.
"We are pleased to report that Trinity Bank was rated #1 in Texas and #3 in the U.S. out of all 6,500 banks (based on earnings, asset quality, capitalization, growth, and liquidity). "
How can this fly under the radar of any banking analysts.
This is quickly becoming my favourite Substack. Looking forward to diving into those letters. Thanks!
Kind words Matt! Thank you
How do you actually buy the stock? On IB it comes up as No Opening Trades: DTC Chilled or Ineligible.
I'm not sure what is the case for you tbh. Maybe Schwab has it? I bought it through my bank broker

Thanks Andrew.

I was surprised too.
It's either that or it's far too illiquid for them to even consider it.
Can you filter all US banks with just one physical location / branch and compare?
OZK is another strong bank and PB ratio is below 1.2, so I am not sure if 1.6 is fair for valuation.
Banks are a bit difficult, at least for me, you never know what is going on underneath....
I'm not into banking, but I enjoyed reading your write up. Trinity is a very peculiar case indeed. Thank you.
I'm not either haha. Thank you Yuri! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
