ROE & ROA.....Two Significant Numbers Investors Look At - MNRK wins, no contest!
by maine1964 •Feb 18, 2013 3:53 PMYes, ROE & ROA are key metrics.
ROE;
The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.
ROA:
An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a company's annual earnings by its total assets, ROA is displayed as a percentage. Sometimes this is referred to as "return on investment". - Reply to

Horrible Numbers in HBKS's Latest Q report.......Now Deregistering???????????
by maine1964 •Feb 18, 2013 2:11 PMIs it just me, or did anyone else feel like the HBKS CEO was kinda whiny in his 1/30/13 press release? What type of CEO would bad mouth other community banks in a press release just because HBKS couldn't keep up? Now he's taking his ball and going home? (deregistering)

Only a sucker bought common when they could have gotten pref for ...
by barkingdog78 •Feb 21, 2013 4:04 PMUmmmmmm, did you read closely? "..common stock share price has increased more than 30% since we issued the preferred shares..." Means the common share price jumped 30% in that period. Also, throw in a total dividend of .49/share that common shareholders have received since 2010 and it sounds like a win for everyone.

That is correct.

May be bumpy ride for a month or two until the additional shares/float get digested, but this is great news for long term investors of MNRK!
The 1/31 press release that talked to diluted earnings (0.37 for the Q, 1.26 for the Y) factors in a total conversion scenario. With that, its current P/E of 7.77 is a steal for a company that had net income in 2012 of almost $13 Million, had a ROE of 17.51%, ROA of 1.28%, whose Non-performing assets dropped to 0.30% of total assets, etc....
Glad to see that the $4.5 million dished out to Preferred shares in the last 3 years is a thing of the past. As the CEO so eloquently stated: "The return of our capital to common stock and the anticipated growth in our net income available to common shareholders will have a positive impact on our shareholders."
Am I going out on a limb to make the following predictions?:
1) Common dividend will be increased at some point in 2013
2) Q1 earnings will report its 17th straight quarter of record year over year quarterly performance
3) Stock price will hit $11 sometime in 2013Sentiment: Strong Buy

Doesn't mean I won't follow-up within this topic as to the accuracy of my predictions & to discuss the great news that MNRK is releasing throughout the year.
MNRK released great news this week for long-term holders of MNRK. Their preferred shares are going to be a thing of the past as of 3/8! Over the last three years, MNRK has paid preferred dividends of almost $4.5 million.....but not anymore!!! It could be bumpy ride for a month or 2 until the additional shares/float gets digested, but this is excellent news for long term investors of MNRK!
As the CEO of MNRK so eloquently stated earlier this week: "The return of our capital to common stock and the anticipated growth in our net income available to common shareholders will have a positive impact on our shareholders."
A few predictions for MNRK:
a) Q1 earnings release will report its 17th straight quarter of record year over year quarterly performance
b) Common dividend will be increased in 2013
c) Its price will hit $11 sometime in 2013 - Reply to

the Bank Honor Roll out of nearly 400 banks
screened by KBW. Monarch is one of only three
Virginia-based banks on the list, and one of only
two Virginia-based banks winning the award

$500 million in total assets that meet KBW’s
