A JPMorgan analyst has expressed strong optimism regarding the prospects of MVB Financial, a bank focused on the iGaming sector
MVB Financial serves as a repository for deposits from popular gambling brands. It boasts strong capitalization and offers investors the opportunity to invest in the iGaming industry without the need to directly purchase stocks.
Alexopoulos has assigned an upgraded rating to the bank's shares, describing it as a crucial component of the existing regulated gaming framework in the market. He believes there are clear signs that iGaming operators in the country will continue to trust the bank with player deposits.
MVB is making significant strides in the industry by optimizing its services and focusing on the needs of gaming companies. According to Alexopoulos, the bank also benefits from being a first mover, as other financial institutions have been more hesitant to engage with gaming organizations. Consequently, they have not developed the necessary expertise and understanding to effectively interact with the rapidly growing iGaming sector in the U.S.
However, Alexopoulos acknowledged that the previous stock price target of $35 (approximately 2,900 rubles) is now unrealistic. He has revised his forecast to $24 (around 2,000 rubles).
Despite JPMorgan's positive outlook, MVB Financial, like other American banks, has felt the impact of turmoil in the local financial sector. The overall value of the bank's shares has dropped by 40.78% over the past 12 months. Nevertheless, all deposits at the bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Additionally, MVB is actively expanding its fintech solutions.
It is also worth noting that eCOGRA has received approval to operate in Connecticut.
