Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We're starting to see all of the balance sheet strategy that we laid out for you in the past getting some traction and having a positive impact on the NIM
We had a terrific quarter in the commercial segment
So we're -- pipelines in that segment remain very strong
We've seen good growth in what I would call our more traditional long-term markets, and we've seen nice growth in the newer markets that we have opened up over the last few years
So we're still happy about the pipeline that we have, especially in light of what a challenging first quarter, this was to be able to stand here in October and say that we have a good pipeline and that we've -- in the last three months, we've actually converted enough of it to produce DDA growth
We had actually a terrific quarter in small business lending
So very robust capital levels
I'm very happy about it
So we feel pretty good about the C&I business as a whole across all segments
The Florida market in all major metropolitan areas continues to perform very well
We also saw the decline in relatively higher priced wholesale funding having a positive impact on the NIM this quarter
So we feel pretty good about where we are from a Florida perspective
So I'm feeling pretty good about the way the quarter turned out
We feel pretty good about where the bank is and the progress that we've made in a very short period of time
So we feel good about that
Great news about the net interest margin up to 256 from 247 last quarter
The Palm Beach market is very strong
In this portfolio, and we're watching it closely, but we feel very good about the overall CRE portfolio
We talked about having a good level of confidence in a strong deposit pipeline
And we know we have strong debt service coverage ratios
So if you look at the Miami market, in particular, where we do not have any CBD exposure, but the Miami market is extremely strong right now
And it should be a good quarter again
There are some small openings here and there, but generally, our renewal conversations are going well because the performance of the properties is generally very good
Because like we've said, we're [Indiscernible] very heavy and taking it down about $200 million or so every quarter, sounds like a good strategy
And general trends are people who are in the office 3, 4 days a week and the properties are performing well
And liquidity remains robust as well
Tampa continues to show good strength, particularly in the suburban market area
So feeling pretty good looking forward
If I look at what grew for the quarter, we grew what I think is really kind of core parts of our business strategy, which was manufacturing, wholesale trade, logistics, international trade because of the markets that we're in, Healthcare had nice growth
But predominantly in the northern suburban office markets, all of those continue to perform very well
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
The franchise equipment, municipal finance business continued to trend down modestly and mortgage warehouse lending was down $116 million in response to what's happening in the residential mortgage market as a whole
The overall outlook for CRE is a little bit more challenging in the market today
If you look at where we started off the year, and market conditions remain challenging
And our commercial finance subs, which is the franchise finance and the equipment leasing business, has been running down now for a better part of 2 or 3 years, that trend will continue
The mortgage market is probably having one of the toughest years ever in terms of origination volume
Most of that reserve built was really because of the Moody's outlook got worse
Just for context, if you go back last quarter, we told you that, while our NIM had gone down from first quarter to second quarter
Which is well below the regulatory guidance threshold
Everybody wants part of the ancillary business, and that's a big challenge in the SNC market is there's not enough ancillary business to go around everybody
And hopefully, it's just a soft landing, but it may be a mild recession, and we have to be ready for it
And earnings this quarter were impacted by the reserve build that we took this quarter
Consistent with the strategy we've outlined for you, Resi declined by $225 million
Credit trends, quickly, net charge-offs, again, very low at 7 basis points
Overall, deposit loans came in down to 74%
So if you go back from January and look to now, Jan to Feb, Feb to March, March or April, NIM was declining
So Resi was down 2.25%
Now I will say this much, that if going into a recession or a slowdown, it's painful with all these build that happen, it has the exact mirror opposite effect on the way out
I think this looks to us more like normalization of credit there don't tend to be any particular portfolio segments where we're seeing signs of trouble
And yes, there will be a little more burden on the regulatory front that we all have to deal with
Loans, like we said to you, we're taking Resi down because we've gotten overweighted in Resi that was down to 25%
