New HQ announced for Dublin, Ohio, opening 2029. Leadership transformation completed with hires from TD, Huntington, KeyCorp, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, PNC.

Why this rating
Solid commercial momentum (+31% C&I growth) and record earnings are encouraging relative to $1.6B market cap; deposit cost stability notable in high-rate environment. However, guidance reflects slowing growth (low single digits) ahead; guidance revision neutral. Leadership depth-building is standard; ROTCE 13.91% is decent but not transformational. Material progress, not trajectory-shift.
