Loan Growth Continues, but No Goodwill for Earnings

Thanks for the reports Barb,

It seems very reasonable to expect loan growth in the current environment.  The major differentiator in performance will likely be determined by which leaders effectively guide the team to set and get profitable pricing.  I posted a fresh video on this topic in our YouTube channel this week and I am curious what everyone is doing currently and planning to do as rates rise to foster profitably-priced lending.

This week we've got two posts from our friends at S&P Global Market Intelligence. The first highlights loan growth among community banks in the fourth quarter, with detailed breakouts by region, bank size, and loan type, among other data. The second discusses a FASB proposal that would require U.S. banks to write off at least $259 billion in goodwill from acquisitions over the last decade or so, impairments notwithstanding.
