Good reasons for this to lag rivals - lower margins & lower ROE, in particular. But not enough considering strong TTM Rev Growth vs. a P/E, P/S, P/B and PEG vs. industry or 50-60%, for a fundamentally sound business. Keeping up industry div growth as well (just a step behind).

A good bank in a growing part of the country that did not have the rapid real estate price increases that the coastal regions of the US did. Should do better than the S&P 500 as financial stocks in general recover.

Not a good history, and not a good future.
