The company’s financial performance deteriorated significantly during the crisis. The main factor was the decrease in the interest rate by the Federal Reserve System. Since the company’s profits mainly came from payments of interest on loans, and the rates went down.

Thus, while rates remain low, the company’s business will be much less profitable than a year ago. However, the company remains fundamentally strong. Many analysts say that the company’s stock quotes may return to pre-crisis levels (double in size) in 1-2 years.
