What the filing says
On July 14, 2026, BayFirst exchanged 4,000 shares each of Series D and Series E Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock for 22,856,000 common shares; on August 13, 2026, redeemed Series A ($6.5M) and Series B ($3.2M) preferred shares. Q3 2026 net loss was $0.7M ($0.04/share) vs. $32.7M loss in Q2 2026, driven by $41.5M Q2 asset resolution charges. On October 8, 2026, company raised $14.4M via rights offering (4,107,908 shares at $3.50). Key metrics: NIM expanded 59 bps to 4.07%, community bank loans grew 25% annualized ($41.9M), deposits grew $25.3M, nonperforming assets declined to 1.29% of total assets from 1.75%, capital ratios improved (Tier 1 leverage 8.79%).
Why this rating
Massive preferred-to-common conversion (5.5x share dilution) plus equity raise ($14.4M) materially strengthens balance sheet but dilutes per-share metrics. Loss narrowing and NIM expansion are positive; relative to $49.3M market cap, $14.4M raise + capital rebuild is significant. Offset by ongoing losses YTD ($39.3M) and strategic uncertainty.
