When the names of the 25 banks and thrifts that comprise the 2011 Sandler O’Neill & Partners Sm-All Stars were announced recently, F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) joined what some refer to as an “exclusive fraternity.”
The evaluation used to create the All-Star list was applied to all 486 publicly traded banks and thrifts across the nation with a market cap of less than $2 billion, with the express purpose of identifying small-cap depository institutions that stand out from the pack. The analysis focused on growth, profitability, credit quality and capital strength. The narrowed list included the top 25 institutions identified as delivering bottom line results that are markedly better than the industry as a whole.
Stephen J. Gurgovits, CEO of F.N.B. Corporation notes, “Our addition to the All-Star list is an achievement that generates pride throughout our organization. It is also a reflection of our commitment to maintain financial practices that protect our customers and our shareholders.”
Earlier this year, F.N.B. Corporation was selected to be included in the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600, Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) Regional Banks Sub-Industry Index. Criteria for that selection focused on market capitalization, adequate trading liquidity, reasonable price and financial viability as indicated by at least four consecutive quarters of positive as-reported earnings.
