Challenges Ahead
Demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income
Revenue & Expenses
Visualization of income flow from segment revenue to net income
Historical Earnings Impact
Analyze how earnings announcements historically affect stock price performance
If the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income
Collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase
Our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income
As the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income
