I first wrote about the company on October 27 of last year, calling its stock a buy. My opinion was based on a number of factors, including the company's track record of strong performance, reasonable valuation at that time, and dividend growth. Since that article was published, CCBG has produced a total return of just over 11%. The State Street SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF has gained only 9.2% during this same time period, while the S&P 500 has lost 4.25%, as shown in the graph below. Performance Since October 27, 2025 (Seeking Alpha) With Capital City's first earnings report for 2026 less than three weeks away, I thought it was time to revisit my earlier analysis and see what, if anything, has changed in the company's performance. The share price for CCBG has held up quite well this year, especially during the last two months when most of its peers have pulled back. However, there are a few areas where the company has started trending downward since my last article was published. Loan growth for its banking operations has been absent now for two straight years, and a few other performance ratios took a step back in the last quarter of 2025. All of these concerns will be discussed in more detail in this analysis, as I move my assessment of CCBG to a Hold. Company Overview Capital City Bank Group is the holding company for Capital City Bank, named because its founding is tied to Tallahassee, the capital of Florida. With a history that dates back to 1895, Capital City is considered one of the oldest banking institutions in the US. Today, the bank has 70 branches, with 53 of those in its home state. An additional 15 are located in Georgia and two in Alabama, right on the border with the Peach State. As I mentioned in my first analysis, Capital City specializes in operating in smaller, less densely populated areas. Only two of its Geor...

Liudmila Chernetska/iStock via Getty Images VanEck Agribusiness ETF ( MOO ) tracks the global agribusiness value chain, from fertilizers and farm equipment to food processing and distribution, and the companies shaping the future of food. Feeding the world is increasingly viewed as a significant economic and societal challenge. A growing global population, shifting diets and increasing climate pressures are forcing agricultural systems to produce more with fewer resources and greater efficiency. At the same time, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions have exposed just how fragile those systems can be. For investors, this is not only a macroeconomic challenge. It may also represent an evolving opportunity across the global food supply chain and the broader agribusiness sector. What is Agribusiness? Agribusiness refers to the network of companies involved in producing, processing and distributing food and agricultural products. This includes everything from fertilizers, seeds and farm equipment to food processing, trading and distribution. Rather than focusing solely on farming or commodities, agribusiness encompasses the full value chain that brings food from field to consumer. The VanEck Agribusiness ETF offers comprehensive exposure to the agribusiness industry by seeking to replicate the MVIS ® Global Agribusiness Index (MVMOOTR) . The index comprises a globally diversified group of agribusiness companies, including those engaged in agri-chemicals, animal health and fertilizers, seeds and traits, irrigation equipment and farm machinery, aquaculture and fishing, livestock, cultivation and plantations, and trading of agricultural products. MOO targets businesses positioned within key areas of modern food systems. In these areas, factors such as scarcity, geopolitics and climate volatility may influence investment and, in some cases, pricing dynamics. How Agribusiness Investing Benefits from Market Disruptions Recent years have underscored how vulnerable...
