Um, can you sort of walk us through what the spread and NIM data has been showing us over the past few months?
8:23
Yeah, you bet.

So let's take the spread item first, then I'm gonna bifurcate this in terms of SOFR loans and fixed-rate loans.
8:30
So the spread to SOFR, um, and SOFR has become the index of choice across our client base, and SOFR-based loans represent about 70% of pricing activity, and they are certainly in the mix of volume across precision lender clients.
8:46
The spread to that index has moved down about five basis points since January.
8:51
Now, what makes this drift, I'll call it a drift, it's not really a downtrend, a downdraft, um, counterintuitive is that bankers didn't really keep any of that revenue benefit for themselves following the 2025 rate cuts.
9:08
So remember, we had three rate cuts back in the, uh, toward the end of 2025.
