Positioning for Growth in 2025

Dory Wiley
President and CEO

Bank M&A is poised for a rebound in 2025, with potential buyers buoyed by stronger stock prices. Dory Wiley, CEO of Commerce Street Holdings, anticipates the year ahead will be a buyers’ market, with a pent-up supply of would-be sellers and acquisitive banks constrained by the number of deals they can actually complete. And while declining interest rates may have a muted impact on deals, they will also likely improve bank profitability and bring deposit costs down to a manageable level. 

Topics discussed include: 

  • Bank Stocks 
  • Pricing Expectations
  • Interest Rate Impacts
