What the filing says
BayFirst Financial (market cap ~$49.3M) raised $80M in capital in April 2026 and completed a major asset resolution plan in Q2 2026, resulting in a $32.7M net loss ($43.8M of which was one-time charges related to SBA loan charge-offs, impairments, and accounting restatements). The company restated prior-period financials for 2024, 2025, and Q1 2026 due to material misstatements in deferred origination costs and accrued interest totaling ~$8.3M across periods. On July 14, shareholders approved converting 8,000 shares of preferred stock (Series D and E) into 22.86M common shares; Series A and B preferred were redeemed in July for ~$9.7M. A rights offering for ~4.1M shares at $3.50/share is launching in August.
Why this rating
Capital raise and restatement are material relative to $49.3M market cap. Loss-making quarter, preference conversion dilution, and accounting errors erode shareholder confidence significantly, though dilution and capital position provide runway for turnaround.
