When the FDIC seizes assets, it allows other more healthy banks to acquire them at undervalued prices. This has meant growth for larger banks within the sector and a shrinkage or disappearance of smaller ones. The FDIC has closed 125 banks so far this year. The hardest hit states in the Southeast are Georgia which has closed 14 banks and Florida which leads the nation at 23. Currently, some banks like Regions Financial Corp. and First Horizon National Corp. are looking very much like potential takeover targets.
