As Good As It Gets? M&A Activity and Bank Valuations Coming Out of the Pandemic
Many banks are currently experiencing record earnings as a result of a combination PPP fee income, mortgage activities, etc. along with minimal provision expenses. With plentiful liquidity and strong capital ratios, is the community banking industry of today “as good as it gets”? Dwight Larsen, President and CEO of United Bankers’ Bank, will dive into this question during his presentation at the 2021 Black Hills Retreat on Friday, July 30th. He will cover asset liability management, operations, and IT issues as well as credit and the strategic issues as teams begin to return to the office. In addition, Dwight’s presentation will address the state of the community banking industry as it relates to bank valuation trends and overall market performance.
