Where MCBS is headed

MetroCity Bankshares is a $936 million regional bank running operating margins that most software companies would envy. 61.7% operating margin, 43.4% profit margin, 15.2% ROE, and revenue growing 44% in a year when half the regional banking sector was still nursing duration losses from the 2023 SVB hangover. Either the numbers are wrong, or this little Doraville, Georgia outfit is doing something the market has not bothered to look at.
