Stock Track | Merchants Bancorp Soars 5.49% After-Hours on Strong Q4 Earnings Beat and $100M Buyback Announcement
Stock Track
Jan 29
Merchants Bancorp's stock surged 5.49% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, following the release of the company's fourth-quarter financial results and a significant capital return announcement.
The sharp rise appears to be driven by two key positive developments. First, the company reported Q4 earnings per share of $1.28, which substantially exceeded the FactSet consensus estimate of $0.94. Second, Merchants Bancorp announced a new $100 million stock repurchase program, signaling management's confidence in the company's value and commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
The combination of stronger-than-expected profitability and the shareholder-friendly buyback initiative provided a clear catalyst for the post-market rally.
