Share price after the results: +0.4%Ameris reaffirms mid-single-digit loan and deposit growth and its 20-25 basis point charge-off guidance, but slightly lowers its margin outlook due to higher deposit costs and competitive pressure.
“We don't see this as being systemic, and we are, as Nicole said, we're reiterating our guidance of charge-offs at 20-25 basis points.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
