AI Summary

6.9

ALRS should now be viewed as a “prove-the-rerating” bank rather than a distressed turnaround: the Q2 beat was driven by durable-looking NIM expansion, stronger fee income, and cleaner credit, but with the stock near highs investors need to see another few quarters of similar ROA/ROTC performance to confirm the earnings step-up is repeatable, especially if deposit costs or credit slip.
