    JPMorgan downgrades Silvergate Capital, says crypto bank’s huge withdrawals can hurt stock long term

    Higher-than-expected deposit withdrawals by customers at Silvergate Capital are ringing the alarm at JPMorgan. Analyst Steven Alexopoulos downgraded shares of the cryptocurrency company to neutral from overweight, citing concerns as client deposits decline. Silvergate on Thursday disclosed preliminary fourth-quarter results that showed a 68% drop in total deposits as FTX erupted in scandal. The company also shared a loss of $718 million as it sold $5.2 billion of debt securities to raise cash. “While the challenging backdrop for the crypto settlement business was a factor in the worse than expected results being released, we also believe that concerns voiced by short-sellers (on Twitter) likely also contributed to Silvergate’s customers withdrawing deposits from the platform at a greater than anticipated level,” Alexopoulos wrote Friday. “The implications to the company’s business from the significant reduction in client deposits has near- as well as longer-term impacts,” he added. Thursday’s news pushed shares down more than 42% on the day. The stock fell another 17% before the bell on Friday. Silvergate also shared plans to reduce its workforce by 40%. While Alexopoulos expects deposit balances to potentially normalize toward late 2020 levels, the loss of confidence in crypto will likely to further pressure shares prices. The sharp reduction in deposits may also force the company to hold higher levels of liquidity which could hurt profitability longer term. “With the landing point for deposits a wildcard as well as the eventual spread that the company could earn on those deposits also a wildcard, the long-term earnings power of the company remains a question mark,” he wrote. Shares of Silvergate plummeted more than 88% in 2022 and an additional 28% since the start of 2023. The bank’s revised $14 price target suggests shares could gain about 11% from Thursday’s close. Bank of America is also shifting its perspective on Silvergate in the wake of Thursday’s news, downgrading shares to underperform from neutral in a note to clients Friday. The Wall Street bank adjusted estimates and said it sees more than 35% downside for shares after slashing its price target to $8. “Silvergate offers investors an alternative way to gain exposure to the growing digital currency ecosystem,” wrote analyst Brandon Berman. “However, the combination of balance sheet positioning (deposit funding concerns) with the suspension of its stablecoin initiative indefinitely put into question the bank’s ability to generate positive earnings.” — CNBC’s Michael Bloom contributed reporting
