We’re five episodes deep in our analysis of financial data around the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). Over the last week, we’ve been analysing sentiment and cashflow data for banks to help us understand industry trends and the ways in which SVB was unique. The sentiment data, downloaded from the AlphaVantage API, shows some surprising industry trends against a backdrop of economic downturns. As expected, SVB does stand out but not as much as might have been expected. Nick’s analysis of cashflow data again shows SVB to have been an outlier, particularly during between 2021 and 2022.
