NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its latest U.S. Bank Ratings Compendium, which analyzes the 2Q results of U.S. banks with KBRA long-term ratings.
New Feature: Rankings tables, including the top 10 lowest cost deposit franchises and largest sequential negative changes in return on assets, net interest margin, net charge-offs, and nonperforming asset ratios.
Themes discussed in the Compendium include:
- Margin pressure continues as expected, albeit at a diminished rate; despite this, KBRA notes that our rated universe largely continues to reflect strong core performance.
- While a modestly higher number of idiosyncratic credit events were observed this quarter versus the prior period, overall credit costs remain nominal.
- Stock buybacks or buyback authorizations were fairly prevalent, although to date these programs have not been overly “shareholder friendly” at the expense of bondholders.
The Compendium includes second-quarter 2019 updates on all publicly traded U.S. banks in KBRA’s rated universe, focusing on key performance and credit metrics, along with medians of key ratios.
