A Case of United Banking in Opportunity Zones
Remarkably, even in this political climate, politicians have crossed party lines to arm financial institutions with new tools for developing America's most distressed communities.
United Bank of Atmore, Alabama is putting some of these tools to good work!
What's the opportunity here for investors? They could nearly double their money in three years. I see UBAB earning over $3 per share, having book value over $23 per share, and trading in the $30's.
Disclosure: As of this posting, I own shares of UBAB and may subsequently either dispose of them or purchase more.

Phil,
ReplyDeleteCan you recommend a service or website that will alert you when a chosen bank files a new Call Report? The banks file at such different times that a lot of time is wasted looking for reports that have not yet been filed. Thank you.
Hello Peter!
DeleteYou are right, banks have different schedules for filing their call reports. The only rule is they are due 30 days after quarter end. I get mine from S & P Global Market Intelligence. https://platform.mi.spglobal.com/web/client?auth=inherit#news/home It is expensive and not as good as the old SNL Service IMO. I don’t know of any others but you might try Complete Bank Data.
https://www.completebankdata.com/ I have heard it’s really good.
Best,
Phil
I remember they are in both SBA and USDA. Do these two programs share some kind of synergy in terms of talent required, infrastructure, etc? Could both program experience credit losses at the same time, or is there some diversification?
ReplyDeleteHello Ji!
DeleteThank you for reading and commenting. Sorry to be responding so late. I just now saw your feedback. And yes, United Bank offers both USDA for Community Reinvestment Opportunities and SBA Lending. They both could experience losses simultaneously but government guarantees would mitigate them and there is some diversification.
Best, Phil
