In the wreckage of the financial sector, AbleMarkets AI points out two bright spots.


In the wake of the banking sector destruction caused by SVB and Signature Bank collapse, stocks of most of financial institutions have taken serious beating. Medium-sized banks have suffered a particular toll: with fewer resources for communication, mid-sized regional banks may appear opaque to investors scared of financial contagion. AbleMarkets Corporate Filings AI, however, believes in the future of two banks: Bar Harbor Bankshares (BHB) and American National Bankshares INC. (AMNB), both of whom filed their annual 10-K reports with the U.S. SEC yesterday, March 14, 2023.

American National Bankshares Inc. (AMNB) is a financial holding company that operates mainly in Virginia and North Carolina. It is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "AMNB".

According to their 10-K, AMNB diligently examines its financial condition and results of operations to help make decisions about the future. They measure things like the money coming in, the money going out, and how much money is left over. They also make sure that their financial information is accurate and follows rules. They use different methods, such as looking at historical losses, to estimate how much money they should keep in reserves to cover any losses. They also use different techniques to estimate how much they should charge-off for loans that may not be paid back.
