Read MoreHide Full Article
On Jun 9, we issued an updated research report on TCF Financial Corporation . While this Minnesota-based various retail and commercial banking products and services provider is getting digitized as per customers’ requirements and reflecting organic growth, its escalating expenses and declining fee income remain concerns.
Further, cost pressure on the company led to a 16.3% decline in share price over the last six months, as compared with 1.1% growth recorded by the Zacks categorized Midwest Banks industry.
Moreover, the company’s earnings estimate has declined 3.3% for the current year, over the last 60 days. As a result, it currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Looking at the fundamentals, due to a decrease in the average interchange rate per transaction owing to debit card interchange regulations, effective Oct 1, 2011, banking fee revenues have been experiencing a decline. While ATM revenues recorded a 5-year (2012–2016) negative CAGR of 4.2%, fee and service charges declined at a 5-year CAGR of 6.2%. Notably, the decreasing trend persisted in first-quarter 2017 as well.
Overall non-interest expenses for the company witnessed a 4-year (2013–2016) CAGR of 2.5%, with the trend continuing in first-quarter 2017. Though the company intends to manage expense and generate operating leverage, costs are likely to flare up, driven by rise in staff level to support business growth.
