Investment thesis

A profitable regional bank with four consecutive earnings beats trades within 1.3% of its near-term price ceiling at a risk/reward of 0.25-to-1 — upside is essentially exhausted at the current price — while a 63% commercial-and-construction loan concentration and OCC oversight add credit-cycle sensitivity that the strong near-term momentum does not offset.
