EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE [Text Block]	NOTE 15 – EARNINGS PER COMMON . SHARE The calculations of earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (In thousands, except per share information) Net income $ 305,072 $ 281,025 $ 102,273 Less: Preferred stock dividends - (2,453) (2,676) Less: Excess of redemption value over carrying value of Series A through E Preferred Stock redeemed - (1,234) - Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 305,072 $ 277,338 $ 99,597 Weighted-Average Shares: Average common shares outstanding 190,805 210,122 216,904 Average potential dilutive common shares 1,163 1,178 764 Average common shares outstanding - assuming dilution 191,968 211,300 217,668 Earnings per common share: Basic $ 1.60 $ 1.32 $ 0.46 Diluted $ 1.59 $ 1.31 $ 0.46 Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding. Net income attributable to common stockholders represents net income adjusted for any preferred stock dividends, including any dividends declared but not yet paid, and any cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of the end of the period. For 2021, net income attributable to common stockholders was also adjusted due to the one -time effect to retained earnings of the excess of the redemption value paid over the carrying value of the Series A through E Preferred Stock redeemed as discussed in Note 17 – Stockholders’ Equity. Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding exclude unvested shares of restricted stock that do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights. Potential dilutive common shares consist of unvested shares of restricted stock that do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights using the treasury stock method. This method assumes that proceeds equal to the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services is used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period. The difference between the number of potential dilutive shares issued and the shares purchased is added as incremental shares to the actual number of shares outstanding to compute diluted earnings per share. Unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding during the period that result in lower potentially dilutive shares issued than shares purchased under the treasury stock method are not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share since their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. There were no antidilutive shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Potential dilutive common shares also include performance units that do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights if the performance condition is met as of the end of the reporting period.
