Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Trustco Bank N Y (TRST) experienced significant positive stock movement between August 31, 2025, and December 4, 2025, with several key factors contributing to its appreciation. The stock gained 1.82% on December 3, 2025, rising for three consecutive days, and showed an 11.43% increase over the two weeks leading up to that date.

1. Strong Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Exceeded Expectations. TrustCo Bank Corp NY announced robust third quarter 2025 results on October 21, 2025, with net income rising 26.3% year-over-year to $16.3 million, or $0.86 diluted earnings per share. This performance significantly beat analysts' consensus estimates of $0.73 EPS and surpassed revenue expectations.

2. Significant Growth in Net Interest Income and Margin Expansion. A key driver of the strong financial results was an 11.5% year-over-year growth in net interest income (NII) and an 18 basis point expansion in net interest margin (NIM) to 2.79% in Q3 2025. This was supported by higher asset yields and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
