Bank health

Core capital (CET1) is 12.9% of risk-weighted assets, loan reserves cover the loans past due 2.2 times, and the group earned 9.7% on its common equity over the last 12 months.

  • More than 50% of deposits sit above the insurance limit. Those leave more easily when depositors get nervous: at the end of 2022 this line picked out 4 of the 7 banks that closed over the next two years. In the 2008 crisis, when banks failed on bad loans, it picked out none.

1.5 years of dividends

Historically, in the Fed's data for US banks from 2001 to 2025, when a group paid out more than 75% of its earnings about 4 in 10 cut the dividend the next year, against about 1 in 20 of the rest. Capital (CET1) did not tell the cutters apart. It is a historical measure, not a forecast for this bank.

Securities held to maturity

On Jun 30, 2026 the group carried $1.9B of securities it intends to hold to maturity, at cost. Their market value was $1.8B. Marked to market, its tangible common equity would be 3.0% lower, after tax at 21%.

A sensitivity, not a deduction: accounting keeps these bonds at cost because the bank means to hold them until they are repaid, and the deposits and loans on the other side are not marked to market either.

A year earlier (Jun 30, 2025): CET1 from 13.6% to 12.9% · Uninsured from 49% to 52% · Past due from 0.65% to 0.57% · Reserves to loans from 1.33% to 1.27%

From quarterly FDIC Call Reports for Hancock Whitney Bank, as of Jun 30, 2026. Group figures from FR Y-9C filings with the Federal Reserve, as of Jun 30, 2026.
