continuing maybe commentary year leaned on maybe how pursue kind thinking towards capital like Just and guess to this I I you M&A opportunities. $XX maybe to deployment relative about to buyback, the follow-up what guys looking wanted million the previous other like opportunities are are the on the maybe feel of discussions front.

bit so little any takes So a there? are maybe or shift puts attractive maybe a the seeing are that you discussion bit more kind buybacks the little and of

Chris Holmes

Yes, as we'll necessarily return. not opportunities like ways our and continue highest about capital branch buyback look to to acquisition, the it is deployed we get when -- just for make our use, think highest we for we or best the

And in a so that's us that market we'll front, M&A continue you've and seen on front. to smaller patient be That disciplined being look on said, banks. relatively the active especially

continue see front. on patient and to us You'll be that disciplined

to we're not to being we're That able deploy appropriately kind we're not for we to marketplace, it so our us. that's But be reflected out, a a price in run And appropriately. buyback a to opportunities of going and especially looking that stock there, use. the to waiting utilize higher it, said, certainly -- us come better have generally gives was the felt tool to if there capital we'll to

we So look at that's way that really it. the

Peter Ruiz

have -- your continue necessarily in looking now? like of know longer-term the eased? paydowns quarterly maybe a any but you growth, on are markets surpass to not competition that front, on then for right target, seeing kind just And the I obviously you're loan looking the And paydown changes What's guidance.

Chris Holmes

had And we significant hit some some relatively and quarter, paydowns Yes, had fees you related something in on payoffs. from actually actually did the that to question. -- some early good

I us. think that's unique to not

continue going We're I across demand most market. people the the fortunate footprint. on think in to have that's but know again we great is strong in a -- national marketplace, to be

demand we really the pleased of in And contributors last are national, the growth so so, on another and to deposits. really have how other there couple -- loans strong but we be over is with the been markets, markets in real continues of is also have things both become there years great and in one

and -- of timeline that years, kind that company. several And seen in be you four the three or last look makeup our years you at so, have our that's last something of over balances at if change our a really look that the

we So all from demand around. are getting

And that's so, before, I quarter. rate I for controlled certainly think statement I may a made and have have this fairly comfortable it made last growth us.

it anticipate above. XX% a we continues just continue It pay range. be quarter. case it this It be And range. to this offs a could the be to in absorb that And, could able Again in XX%, so, XX% we be below. keeping to like and in But continue little little could demand strong. to be that

that with we -- think so, that. still are And that's we comfortable

Peter Ruiz

Great. Thanks much. so
