Mr. Markidis says in a note: "We came away from the event with: (1) a greater appreciation for First Capital's culture and enterprise-wide use of technology to drive operational efficiency; and (2) a better understanding of the underlying value of its non-core assets. The strategic roadmap that was laid out emphasizes management's commitment to further improve First Capital's leverage profile and gives us the confidence to extend our forecast out to 2026."
