Olney noted:
“We also find it unique that TSC is strategically focused (and compensated) on pre-tax income, EPS and revenue while most of other similar sized banks are focused on other profitability metrics such as efficiency ratio, ROA and ROTCE. With its recently completed capital raise, we believe TSC is well positioned to announce an EPS accretive acquisition of an asset manager while continuing to grow loan balances ~20% annualized. TSC is trading at 10.5x our updated EPS forecast and 1.59x tbv vs. small-cap peers at 12.0x and 1.78x tbv respectively. We maintain our Overweight rating and our $25 price target. Our updated EPS forecast primarily reflects the recent and pending capital actions. KEY Updating EPS Forecasts/NDR Highlights. This week, we hosted investor meetings with TSC and CFO David Demas.”
