Midland States Bancorp: Why I Sold The Preferred Shares
Summary
- Midland States Bancorp's shares are still down compared to pre-regional bank crisis levels.
- Net interest income remains above pre-pandemic levels, but balance sheet results were mixed in 2023.
- I have concerns including high exposure to commercial real estate and an increase in nonperforming loans.
