Where OFG is headed
OFG is the second-largest bank on an island in the middle of the largest federally-funded reconstruction program in modern US history. Roughly $80 billion in Hurricane Maria recovery money is still being disbursed by HUD, FEMA, and the Puerto Rico Department of Housing through 2028, and the deployment curve is steepening, not flattening. That money flows through contractors, suppliers, payroll, and small business deposits, and OFG sits in the path of most of it. With Popular, the bank has effectively duopoly share of commercial banking on the island after Santander, Scotiabank, and others exited the market years ago. Less competition, sticky deposits, federal money in the pipes. That is not a story consensus tells about a sub-$2bn regional.
