What Is The Market Telling Us
Triumph Financial’s shares are very volatile and have had 22 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 28 days ago when the stock dropped 4.2% on the news that oil-driven inflation pushed markets to price in Federal Reserve rate hikes rather than cuts, a direct threat to the credit cycle that regional lenders depend on.
The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.48%, up from 3.97% before the Iran conflict began, while futures markets moved to fully price in a 25-basis-point rate hike by January and an 80% probability of one by December. For regional banks, higher-for-longer became higher-than-higher: rising rates lift funding costs on deposits faster than they lift loan yields, squeezing net interest margins. Their commercial real estate loan books, already under stress from elevated vacancy rates, face additional pressure as tighter credit conditions slow refinancing. The Russell 2000, which contains a large concentration of regional bank stocks, fell approximately 0.9%, underperforming the broader market.
Triumph Financial is up 25.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $79.32 per share, it has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Triumph Financial’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,062.
