- Nasdaq stayed closed for Memorial Day. Texas Community Bancshares ended Friday at $16.75.
- The company has raised its quarterly dividend to $0.06 per share. Record date is June 2.
- TCBS often sees light trading, with the stock moving more on dividend news, rates or sentiment around local banks than on wider index trends.
Texas Community Bancshares Inc. starts the holiday-shortened week with attention on its new dividend. U.S. markets are shut Monday for Memorial Day. Nasdaq trading picks up again Tuesday, keeping its schedule from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
Broad Street Bank’s stock ended Friday at $16.75, up from $16.3101 Thursday and just above where it closed May 15 at $16.70. The shares barely moved for the week even with the late rebound.
Why it matters: the board on May 19 raised its quarterly cash dividend to $0.06 a share, a penny higher than last quarter. The payout goes to holders of record as of June 2 and is payable around June 16. Based on Friday’s close, the annual dividend yield is roughly 1.4%.
With TCBS trading only 2,205 shares in the latest session, market data shows the stock is thinly traded. That can make a signal hit harder than it might for a bigger bank stock, where bigger lenders usually absorb bigger orders without much impact.
Texas Community Bancshares paid out after posting a stronger first quarter. Net income came in at $836,000 for the three months ended March 31, up from $643,000 the previous year. Net interest income rose to $3.4 million.
Texas Community Bancshares CEO Jason Sobel told investors in April the bank had “favorable loan demand” and was “poised for growth,” with expansion plans targeting Terrell, Texas, on the edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Sobel called out “noise in the economy” but said the bank was “positioned to benefit across a range of scenarios.” PR Newswire
But the risks are clear. Higher rates have hit securities values, and the company reported gross unrealized losses of $4.3 million in its available-for-sale portfolio as of March 31. It also owned three properties from foreclosures and said it is marketing them.
Texas banks saw uneven trading ahead of the holiday, not just for TCBS. Texas Capital Bancshares finished at $99.39, Prosperity Bancshares closed at $69.09, and Southside Bancshares settled at $32.74. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF was last at $69.37.
Scale is still a concern in the state. Back in January, Prosperity said it would acquire Stellar Bancorp for $2 billion in cash and stock. That deal fits in with the consolidation moves among regional banks. Prosperity CEO David Zalman said Greater Houston is “a diverse economy” that’s pulling in investment. Reuters
Rates are moving back to the forefront this week as traders look ahead to the next personal consumption expenditures price index, set for release May 28. The Fed tracks that gauge. Bank names like TCBS could react if borrowing costs change, whether they stay high, drop, or go up again.
TCBS has a quiet schedule coming up, with trading set to resume Tuesday, a dividend record date on June 2, and the payout following on June 16. Traders may stay interested in the thinly traded stock even if there’s no fresh company filing.
