MBIN SHAREHOLDER INVESTIGATION: Levi & Korsinsky Investigates Merchants Bancorp for Possible Securities Law Violations

Merchants Bancorp guided investors toward confidence in deposit stability while internal data reflected a roughly 50% year-over-year collapse in brokered deposits and rising funding costs that were absent from public filings.

NEW YORK, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Merchants Bancorp (NASDAQ: MBIN) shareholders lost 9.3% of their investment value after Q1 2026 earnings exposed funding-cost headwinds and a brokered-deposit contraction that had not appeared in the Company's prior public filings. Investors who lost money on MBIN are encouraged to submit their information immediately. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

In the months preceding the Q1 2026 earnings release, Merchants Bancorp's public filings -- including its DEF 14A proxy filed April 10, 2026 -- presented net-income figures and return-on-equity metrics without referencing brokered-deposit trends or funding-cost pressures. The proxy contained executive-compensation tables and performance summaries but no deposit-composition data. The Company had previously characterized its deposit growth as "strong" in investor communications.

When Q1 2026 results were published, they revealed that brokered deposits had declined roughly 50% year over year and that funding costs had risen materially -- information the market immediately repriced with a 9.3% single-session decline. The gap between the forward-looking tone of prior filings and the actual deposit trajectory was significant enough to move the stock on volume.
