We’ve had our eye on the central Maryland and portions of Maryland’s eastern shore focused banker since they filed their Q back on May 15th. Having disposed of over $14.4 million in non-performing assets which resulted in a significant improvement in asset quality, this bank, with assets of $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2013, was just too good to pass up watching develop.
Since the Q filing, 1st Mariner’s stock, FMAR, has, as you can see from above, exploded without making its presence know to many by remaining under the radar until today. FMAR has actually been on the scanner since they delisted from NASDAQ on in September, 2011.
Having mentioned on numerous occasions, this time of the year is when traders who can scout out the real deals make the most money while those who depend on flips for rips have to work 10X harder to make 10% of what they were able to make back in January / February.
On that note, FMAR stock @ $2.64 might look expensive, but in reality its not. With 20 million shares out there, don’t be surprised when you see FMAR stock trading at $5 later on this year or even this month.
