The analyst notes that while the bank posted lower net interest margins, this was offset by lower expenses. Demba also keeps her Buy rating on Texas Capital, adding that the company is being "more prudent with loan growth, launching new deposit gathering verticals and focusing more on efficiency and profitability". She sees the recent stock price decline as an opportunity for investors to buy shares.
