📞 Earnings Call Transcripts (5)
Q2 2026 Q2 2026 2026-07-22
Q2 2026 net income rose to $33.5M ($2.78/share), with strong loan origination and significant asset quality improvement. NIM was 3.73% (adjusted 3.60%), but margin compression is expected due to deposit competition and repricing. Loan growth and deposit trends face headwinds from market uncertainty.
Q1 2026 Q1 2026 2026-04-22
Q1 net income was $31.3M ($2.53/share), with NIM down to 3.57% due to a non-recurring interest reversal. Loan and deposit growth were modest amid intense competition and economic uncertainty, while significant progress was made resolving non-performing loans.
Q4 2025 Q4 2025 2026-01-22
Q4 2025 net income reached $34.8M, with strong loan and deposit growth despite margin pressure from rate cuts. Criticized assets rose due to a large classified relationship, but reserves were increased and the outlook for 2026 is positive.
Q3 2025 Q3 2025 2025-10-21
Record Q3 2025 results with EPS of $2.84 and net income of $35.9M, driven by improved credit quality, loan and deposit growth, and a lower efficiency ratio. Management expects continued growth and margin benefits from repricing CDs, with risks monitored amid macro uncertainties.
Q2 2025 Q2 2025 2025-07-21
Second quarter net income improved to $32.8 million with a 3.85% net interest margin and 7% annualized loan growth. Asset quality strengthened, and a $56 million stock buyback was completed, while economic uncertainty and competitive pressures persist.

📊 Explore The Finmagine™ Methodology

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.

Data Sources & Limitations
Financial statements sourced from public filings. Prices updated daily. Forward assumptions are AI-generated. All monetary values in USD millions. Non-US ADR companies may have currency conversion inaccuracies. Models are point-in-time and do not update intra-quarter or account for M&A, macro shocks, or extraordinary items.
