Our Initial View of the Impact of Silicon Valley Bank’s Ordeal on Our Coverage List; No FVE Changes

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has created doubt about access to capital for tech firms, but we do not expect any material impact on online media or advertising firms under our coverage and we are not adjusting our fair value estimates on these stocks. The chance of Silicon Valley Bank becoming a contagion did decline a bit as of March 12. While a second bank, Signature Bank, was closed, regulators announced that all deposits at both banks will be accessible beginning on March 13.
