If all goes as expected, you will receive this on New Year&#8217;s Eve.
By now, if you are like me, you are a little tired of the holidays and beginning to wonder just how much dieting and exercise will be required to make the last few weeks&#8217; excesses disappear.
I stopped going out on New Year&#8217;s decades ago, as I prefer to drink my cocktails rather than wear them.
A bar full of people who only drink once or twice a year is a social minefield too fraught with peril for me to navigate successfully.
By now, most of us are probably also sick and tired of predictions. An endless parade of folks has danced across our TV screens and the internet, telling us precisely what will happen next year.
&nbsp;It is all marketing. If your predictions are right, the marketing department will promote you as the world&#8217;s leading expert on your chosen topic, be it politics, sports, economics, or markets.
&nbsp;If you are wrong, you will be one of many, and no one will notice.
I do not know what will happen next year.
&nbsp;I am pretty sure U.S. politics will be loud, ugly, and unpleasant.
&nbsp;The economy will probably be much better than the instant experts of the internet and &#8220;End of America&#8221; crowd have been suggesting.
The Yankees will probably be good, and Ohtani will most likely be in the running for MVP again.
That is as precise as I care to get.
When it comes to the path of the stock market this year, there are so many variables that I would hate to have to make a bet on a prediction—mine or anybody else&#8217;s. I know that after four years of outright hostility from regulators and politicians, the banking industry should experience much better conditions.
I also know that for almost four decades, buying small banks with plenty of capital and management skilled at avoiding stupidity has been a winning recipe. We double down on the winning by only purchasing these banks at bargain prices.
The Biden Administration has throttled bank M&amp;A.
There is pent-up demand on the part of both buyers and sellers.
With these thoughts in mind, I am not going to make a prediction.
I am going to give you three bank stocks that fit the characteristics of banks that have delivered strong returns in the past.
All three will appeal to larger banks looking to grow via acquisition. All three also have plenty of capital and trade at bargain prices.
They are smaller.
&nbsp;Unless you live in their market area, you probably have never heard of them. Almost no one on Wall Street follows these banks.
These are not JP Morgan (Ticker: JPM) trading millions of shares daily.
&nbsp;Use a limit order.
Ponce Financial Group is a holding company based in the Bronx and has branches in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. The bank qualifies as a Minority Depository Institution, a Community Development Financial Institution, and a certified Small Business Administration lender.
Ponce also qualified for special financing back in 2020 under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP). The Treasury has recently announced the terms of exiting that plan, and the completion of these terms would add to the book value of Ponce shares.
The stock is already trading for right around book value, and the bank has plenty of capital. The loan portfolio is in good shape, and the nonperforming asset ratio is just 0.57.
There is a lot of skin in the game at Ponce Financial. Officers and directors own 6.7%. The Employee Stock Ownership Plan owns another 8.4%.
Even if the bank never gets bought out, the stock price has a good chance of trading much higher during the coming year.
Parke Bancorp (Ticker: PKBK) has eight branches in South Jersey and a little over $2 billion in assets. The bank&#8217;s core market area is Philadelphia, surrounding counties, and Southern New Jersey, an area that has seen extensive M&amp;A activity in the past.
The loan portfolio is primarily single-family homes and local commercial real estate. The nonperforming assets ratio is just 0.67, indicating a refreshing lack of stupidity on the part of management. Officers and directors own over 15% of Parke Bancorp, so there is lots of skin in the game.
&nbsp;At 84% of book value and just 8 times earnings, the stock is undervalued at the current price.
Finally, we have ESSA Bank &amp; Trust (Ticker: ESSA) in Stroudsburg, PA. The bank serves a market from Philadelphia to Scranton. ESSA has 22 branches and a little over $2 billion in assets. It also has plenty of capital and a high-quality loan portfolio.
There is skin in the game at ESSA as officers and directors own about 7.5% of the bank&#8217;s stock, and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan holds over 10%.
The stock trades at bargain basement prices at 10 times earnings and 84% of book value.
Again, these are all smaller banks, so use a limit order to buy shares.
Most of you will not bother. It is not exciting enough. It is &#8220;just&#8221; banks.
The consolidation trade in community banks&#8217; stocks has worked for decades and will work for a few more.
Buying well-run banks with plenty of capital at bargain prices has consistently been profitable over my career.
&nbsp;I will take that over excitement any day of the week.

ESSA Bancorp Q4 EPS $0.47 Beats $0.42 Estimate

ESSA Bank &amp; Trust (ESSA), the wholly owned subsidiary of ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESSA#NASDAQ">ESSA</a>), today announced it has entered into a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to resolve allegations that it violated fair lending laws in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
As noted in the Consent Order resolving the case, ESSA categorically denies violating any fair lending laws or engaging in &quot;redlining.&quot;
Under the settlement, ESSA agrees to provide&nbsp;$2.9 million&nbsp;in mortgage loan subsidies over a five-year period for majority Black and Hispanic census tracts, with at least&nbsp;50%&nbsp;of those subsidies to be invested in specified Philadelphia MSA census tracts in proximity to ESSA&#39;s two Delaware County branch locations. The remainder of the subsidies may be used in other qualifying areas.
ESSA is also committing&nbsp;$250,000&nbsp;in additional focused marketing and outreach,&nbsp;$125,000&nbsp;in community development partnerships, and making investments in additional mortgage professionals and a community development officer focused on statistically underserved communities.
The settlement includes no civil penalties levied against ESSA.
&quot;This settlement reflects our business decision to avoid the costs, uncertainties, and distractions of litigation,&quot; said Gary S. Olson, President and CEO of ESSA.
Olson observed that &quot;during the time period covered by the government&#39;s Complaint, ESSA did not receive a single fair lending complaint from any customer or potential customer,&quot; noting further that in 2018 (within the time covered by the government&#39;s Complaint), ESSA opened a branch and business center in downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania in a majority minority census tract.
&quot;ESSA and its Board of Directors believe this is a constructive resolution to a dispute that has lasted several years,&quot; Olson continued. &quot;It is consistent with our guiding principles and longstanding commitment to provide equal lending opportunities to all of the communities we are privileged to serve. We plan on using these loan subsidy funds to expand opportunities for qualified borrowers who can benefit from this assistance. We&#39;re happy and pleased to help families purchase homes. It is simply the right thing to do.&quot;
ESSA has consistently demonstrated corporate leadership through a diverse, highly qualified and independent Board of Directors. The Bank has long been recognized for its innovation in helping communities and borrowers, such as participating in private/public partnerships like the federal Court-Assisted Re-Entry (CARE) and Philadelphia-based Supervision to Aid Re-Entry (STAR) programs, and Pennsylvania&#39;s State Transition Re-Entry Incentive Validating Endeavors (STRIVE) program, which provide loans and financial education to individuals re-entering the community after a period of incarceration.
ESSA also provides housing assistance grants to Houwzer&#39;s RiseUp Fund and has supported the Ripple Community Village Adopt-An-Apartment Project in Allentown, among numerous other community activities within its service areas. ESSA assisted more than 700 companies save hundreds of jobs by participating in the Paycheck Protection Plan during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Olson concluded: &quot;We are proud of our record of community service. While vehemently denying the government&#39;s allegations of redlining, we have cooperated expeditiously and fully with the investigation into this matter. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the DOJ going forward, and just as importantly, with our communities, to provide lending opportunities for all qualified borrowers, no matter their background, or where they live or work.&quot;

Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from ESSA Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESSA#NASDAQ">ESSA</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share. On Wednesday, ESSA Bancorp will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 15 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Wednesday. Shareholders who own ESSA as of the end of Tuesday's session are eligible to receive the 15 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 31, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
