U.S. Bancorp preferred shares, notably USB.PR.Q and USB.PR.R offers over 6% yields and trades at deep discounts to par, enhancing their appeal.

U.S. Bancorp has now reached the low end of management's medium-term profitability target, and that's helped drive a circa 40% return since my opening piece last year. USB's revenue growth remains GDP-like, but disciplined cost control is leveraging that into much healthier growth in pre-provision income, while credit quality also remains stable.

Northeast Community Bancorp remains a ‘strong buy' due to compelling valuation and robust asset quality. NECB trades at a forward P/E of 7.5 and below book value, outperforming most peers on key valuation metrics. Asset quality is exceptional, with zero non-performing loans and a return on assets of 1.97%, well above industry thresholds.
First Financial Bancorp is off to a strong start in 2026, benefiting from solid Q1 2026 results and a compelling valuation relative to regional bank peers. A low 0.79x loan-to-deposit ratio allowed FFBC to remain aggressive on deposit pricing, resulting in an improvement in the net interest margin. At the same time, Q1 2026 results could have been even higher absent the merger-related expenses and other one-off effects.

Investors need to pay close attention to TBBK stock based on the movements in the options market lately.

NECB has made further progress in attracting deposits, allowing its loan-to-deposit ratio to improve to 1.12x.
