Meridian Contrarian Fund made the following comment about Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:TCBI) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:TCBI), is a regional bank transforming from a fast-growing but sub-scale national lender to a Texas-focused full-service financial services organization, led by a new management team that previously worked at JP Morgan Chase. In 2022, the company shed underperforming business lines, invested heavily in technology differentiated for a regional bank, and perhaps most importantly, increased the credit quality of its core business. These moves resulted in a 40% reduction in earnings, but the asset sales significantly increased TCBI’s capital position to a level we believe can weather any economic environment while allowing for considerable investment in key talent and technology. Given the idiosyncratic nature of this bank along with an inexpensive valuation – both presently and compared to our normalized earnings view – we initiated a position during the quarter.”
