It’s all about acquisitions. 

There is small organic growth for this bank. Between 2-4%. We can se revenue jumps only in periods of acquired assets.

About acquisitions from Q2 2022 earning call. 

The first question is, there will be M&A. We will — some of that money will be used in that. It just going to be for the right thing. And then secondly, I would say that you saw us pickup almost 900, and I don’t have it in front of me. 900 and something million shares. So I thought that it was really showing that we felt that our stock, we really undervalued. And I think our average price was 67 or something like that

About bond optionality.

That’s why you see the improvement on the yield. But as you look at our bond portfolio in big picture, as I mentioned earlier that we have about $2.2 billion of annualized cash flow from the bond portfolio. So that sets up pretty well for us to reprice those that what we just discussed, 3.6% or 3.7%. So its going to be very beneficial for us from that standpoint.

The Houston-based company’s announced acquisitions of Lone Star State Bancshares Inc. and First Bancshares of Texas Inc. mark its first whole-bank transactions since the company acquired LegacyTexas Financial Group Inc. three years ago, which had $10.46 billion in total assets when the deal was announced in June 2019. But even when combined, the deals are relatively small for Prosperity and leave room for more M&A if future targets arise, according to a company executive and equity analysts.

“We do have an appetite for further M&A. Definitely.”

 

Not much dry powder left. Conclusion – PB will be slow grower. Chairman bought some stock recently. It’s a good sign and good company, but nothing outstanding will happen here.
