First Citizens Bancshares, Berkshire Hathaway And A Tech Stock On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

First Citizens BancShares Says FCB Determined That Likelihood Of Reaching $5B Loss Threshold In 5-Year Period Of Shared-Loss Agreement Was Remote

On April 7, 2025, First-Citizens Bank &amp; Trust Company ("FCB"), a North Carolina chartered commercial bank and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares"), entered into a Termination Agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to provide for the early termination of the commercial shared-loss agreement (the "Shared-Loss Agreement") executed by and between FCB and the FDIC in connection with FCB's acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. in an FDIC-assisted transaction (the "SVBB Acquisition") on March 27, 2023 (the "SVBB Acquisition Date").
 &nbsp;
The Shared-Loss Agreement covered an estimated $60 billion of loans (collectively, the "covered assets") at the SVBB Acquisition Date. Under the terms of the Shared-Loss Agreement, the FDIC agreed to reimburse FCB for 0% of losses of up to $5 billion with respect to covered assets and 50% of losses in excess of $5 billion with respect to covered assets ("FDIC loss sharing"), and FCB agreed to reimburse the FDIC for 50% of recoveries related to such covered assets ("FCB reimbursement"). The Shared-Loss Agreement provided for FDIC loss sharing for five years and FCB reimbursement for eight years. As a result of entering into the Termination Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties under the Shared-Loss Agreement terminated as of the effective date of the Termination Agreement (the "Termination Date"), including FCB's reporting covenants and obligations related to FDIC loss sharing and FCB reimbursement. As of the Termination Date, no payments or other obligations are due or outstanding by FCB or the FDIC under the Shared-Loss Agreement. The Termination Agreement includes transition provisions for the benefit of FCB's related debt agreements with the FDIC, all of which survive termination of the Shared-Loss Agreement, including the purchase money note payable by FCB (the "Purchase Money Note"), which had an outstanding principal amount of $35.99 billion as of December 31, 2024, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum until its maturity in March 2028.
 &nbsp;
The decision to terminate the Shared-Loss Agreement was motivated, in part, by FCB's determination that the likelihood of reaching the $5 billion loss threshold during the five-year period covered by the Shared Loss Agreement was remote. Additionally, the Termination Agreement will eliminate the reporting responsibilities associated with the Shared-Loss Agreement.

Shares of banking companies are trading lower in response to President Trump's sweeping Liberation tariffs and retaliatory responses. The industry is now facing greater macroeconomic uncertainty and recession fears.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing First Citizens BancShares's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, First Citizens BancShares's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.13%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Do Investors Really Feel About First Citizens BancShares?

The S&amp;P 500 had another bloody day on Thursday, once again dropping more than 1% and officially entering correction territory. A correction is typically defined as a 10% drop from all-time highs and while they're common even in bull market years, the speed of the most recent drop has investors jittery.
With tariff uncertainty and economic slowdown fears looming large, defensive sectors are outperforming. Some of 2024's biggest winners have taken some heavy hits to start 2025.
Markets could undoubtedly fall further from here, but corrections are often ideal times to search for good companies trading at discounts. Some names that have been hammered hardest recently are reaching oversold levels and many of them still have solid fundamentals and upside potential.
Here are five oversold stocks that look close to a turning point.
Today, we'll use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to find five stocks that have been oversold in the market drop of these last few weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Citizens BancShares Inc. </h2>
First Citizens Bank and Trust Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>) was a relatively obscure large-cap regional bank holding company until about two years ago, when the firm acquired the floundering Silicon Valley Bank during the banking crisis of 2023. The stock plummeted to $500 per share in March 2023 while the crisis loomed over the sector, but the government bailed out the troubled bank and its assets were sold off. First Citizens acquired SVB's commercial banking business at the end of March and FCNCA shares rallied nearly 200% in just three months following the acquisition.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd3ULK-TF-W17WlDuTNwPRzPUwN0VReqCqBLL8XiceRB-ZjApRK_JBBlZTL6A5Z3EIPm1K7hbbpQQksBmhZVR_FpeiJUO_Xojj_yzmKjHYZIEHPSwv8TMrX4ewkGQGkWU4j8jIv?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
The stock set a new all-time high of $2410 in January 2025 before pulling back in the recent market correction. However, the company is still well-positioned and the current 25% drawdown could present a buying opportunity. The company has strong margins for a regional banking group with an operating margin of 25.3% and profit margins of 18.2%.
EPS growth in 2025 is expected to decline due to accumulating expenses and debt, but the company projects 14% EPS growth in 2026 and the stock is trading at just nine times forward earnings. FCNCA also has a 90.09 Quality score on Benzinga Edge rankings. The RSI has shot up to 56 following a dip below the oversold threshold of 30, signaling a potential reversal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon Inc. </h2>
Investors were able to purchase Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) shares for less than $90 in late 2022. Those willing to take the leap were rewarded with gains of nearly 300% in just two-and-a-half years. While buying stocks in the heart of a bear market is challenging, Amazon withstood the Dot Com Bubble, the Great Financial Crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 bear market &#8211; rebounding to new all-time highs in the aftermath of each event. Today, the stock is down 18% from all-time highs, which hardly qualifies as a calamity. However, quality stocks don't go on sale very often, which could allow buyers to accumulate more shares.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdqQwmyhZdtFKpn17hYN-HdQNvAkydaBJdnHo9mc1DrLRH886szOx39JbtR0uHPOV6T_ym_kurpbMoyRiSxtXcTW-dY400LA7fHS6vsfs-7vyCtDaa71v4l3Tz8DXeMWEX0C1jL_A?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
AMZN shares have been triggering oversold readings on the RSI since February, but the stock continued to grind lower through the end of the month and into March. The most recent oversold signal was triggered on March 11 and the RSI quickly jumped back above 50.
The company&#8217;s share price has yet to follow this move, although a double bottom pattern appears to be forming, which would reinforce the trend reversal signal from the RSI. Amazon has a 73.21 Momentum score and 82.1 Quality score from Benzinga Edge and trades at 35 times earnings, which is the lowest P/E for the stock since the pandemic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Evercore Inc. </h2>
Evercore (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>) was expected to be one of the big winners under the new Trump administration as they specialize in mergers, acquisitions and restructuring advisory services. But the new administration has left many of the tight Biden-era FTC rules in place and Evercore's stock has faded in 2025. After hitting an all-time high of $324 following the 2024 US election, the stock had dropped below $190 by March &#8211; a more than 40% decline. However, the Evercore selloff may be reaching an end as the RSI triggered an oversold signal on March 11.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc3SAk8V45FuO71djvIj6Oj3hPyTstJmIWqmwU0PhsN9OAbZK4oVLyutMtyLtB7EHsUPjYZm1q_9RYob7lQDWL97oVZ8J2tKu2JLciU2TII15wow0LGPkDB09s5uBLpk5PP1RE00Q?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
Evercore's underlying business remains strong despite the lack of M&amp;A activity. The company has a 12.6% profit margin and projects EPS growth of over 37% in 2025. The valuation is also enticing, with a Forward P/E of 10.89 and a Price to Free-Cash-Flow rate of 8.47. Evercore's Benzinga Edge scores are excellent, too: 90.41 for Quality and 84.00 for Growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hub Group Inc. </h2>
Transportation stocks have been crushed to start 2025 and Hub Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBG#NASDAQ">HUBG</a>) has been no exception. After closing at an all-time high of $53.21 on November 25, the rail and trucking firm has lost 30% in the last three months, significantly underperforming major market indices. The stock has also triggered three oversold signals on the RSI, most recently on March 13.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd6kB4UJwfjU4O3e_CWIbZeHBMNRqeNaWLt6wimbAcyyuBzyJYT1t_JszbDCvc0qE1pneXrJcgMbz_loCRyLLSy1CBVjsSwVW4ciM6qvwqzJgPB6tnc9l5J7N5kUKcQ5s7opUBr0Q?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
Hub Group is a good rebound candidate from here because the company has solid fundamentals and very little debt in what's traditionally a low-margin business. Hub Group's 0.31 debt/equity ratio is far lower than that of competitors like UPS, FedEx and J.B. Hunt and its stock trades at just 13 times forward earnings. Hub Group expects EPS growth of 14% in 2025 and 29% in 2026, a promising outlook. If the company can hit those earnings projections, the stock's current price could look like quite a bargain.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Abercrombie and Fitch Co. </h2>
Abercrombie and Fitch's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) turnaround was a big story in markets as the stock rallied from $23 in May 2023 to $197 in June 2024. The parabolic stock move wasn't just a short squeeze either, as the company has grown EPS by 78% over the last five years thanks to sales growth and margin expansion. However, the stock is currently in a brutal drawdown, losing more than 60% of its value since that June 2024 all-time high. Is the bottom finally settling? The RSI is hinting that this may be the case.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfZxTvj5sPG2RF4N1xq9Z_kz1lDaMmLzBPbkZTuKBBosVT5nz6rKicLjta9TJDpAhIqQTS74HyAzno8qYPhYXU6EU-rg2v9iYlS8XSky7kNhggqbrtUCAoqXt9T1xT0jrxo0ghFzA?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
False oversold signals from the RSI have been common during ANF's decline, but the most recent one quickly reversed and headed back over 50, potentially signaling a trend reversal. ANF has strong underlying metrics, like a profit margin of 11.44%, easily surpassing competitors like American Eagle, Urban Outfitters and The Gap. The stock trades at just 6.7 times forward earnings and has earned Benzinga Edge scores of 91.86 in Growth and 83.77 in Value.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.
