NYSE:TMP
TOMPKINS FINANCIAL CORP
A regional financial services provider leveraging strong cash flows and substantial equity to offer comprehensive banking and investment products in the New York market.
Key Metrics
Investment Thesis
Bull Case
The stock presents an attractive opportunity given the dramatic recovery in profitability with net income tripling to $161.1M and healthy operating cash flows of $38.9M. Investors can capitalize on the company's solid capital position, evidenced by nearly $1B in total equity and minimal retained earnings deficit relative to recent earnings growth.
Bear Case
Investors should be wary of the massive non-cash adjustments totaling over $650M which may indicate significant mark-to-market losses or valuation write-downs on investment securities. The company also recorded substantial income tax expenses of $63.8M, suggesting that pre-tax profits do not fully translate to bottom-line earnings as efficiently as historical trends suggest.
