2024-04-08 02:46:31 ET
Summary
- The interest-rate down cycle will lift the mortgage banking income, net interest margin, and loan portfolio size.
- I’m estimating earnings to grow by 14% year-over-year in 2024.
- MRBK is currently offering an attractive dividend yield of 5.4%.
- The December 2024 target price suggests a very high price upside. Hence, I’m upgrading MRBK to a Buy rating.
