Loan book tops US$2.3b but credit quality is under pressure

• Total loans reached US$2.3b at Q4 2025, while non performing loans rose from US$4.0 million in Q4 2024 to US$20.2 million at Q4 2025, so a larger piece of the book is not currently paying as agreed.
• Critics highlight that worsening losses and higher problem assets fit a bearish view, and the loan data add some support to that concern.
  • Over the trailing 12 months, Avidia reported a net loss of US$3.3 million even with US$82.1 million of revenue, so the loan book has not yet translated into consistent profits.
  • Non performing loans in the trailing 12 month data also sit at US$20.2 million, compared with US$3.997 million a year earlier, which bearish investors may view as added credit risk inside that US$2.3b portfolio.

Stay focused on how this growing loan book and higher non performing balances factor into the cautious narrative for the bank, and what skeptics think it means next for Avidia Bancorp. 🐻 Avidia Bancorp Bear Case

Trailing 12 months still loss making despite recent profitable quarters

• Even after Q4 2025 net income of US$5.3 million and EPS of US$0.29, the trailing 12 month numbers show a net loss of US$3.3 million and basic EPS of US$0.18 loss per share.
• What stands out for a bearish narrative is that quarterly profits in Q2 and Q4 2025 have not yet offset earlier weakness, which keeps the full year picture in the red.
  • Q2 2025 and Q4 2025 delivered net income of US$3.9 million and US$5.3 million, but Q1 2025 alone carried a loss of US$11.6 million, and trailing data still show cumulative losses.
  • The long term analysis flags losses worsening at an annualized rate of 47.7% over five years, so bears can point to the trailing loss of US$3.3 million as consistent with that pattern rather than a clean break from it.

Forecasted 81% earnings growth vs 1.0x P/B

• Avidia trades around US$20.09 per share and about 1.0x P/B, which is below both the US Banks industry average of 1.1x and the peer average of 1.3x, while analysts in the dataset expect earnings to grow at about 81.09% per year and turn profitable within three years.
• Supporters with a bullish tilt argue that this combination of forecasted earnings growth and a lower P/B multiple could set up room for sentiment to improve if the profit story follows through.
  • The trailing 12 month loss of US$3.3 million sits against those earnings growth forecasts, so any shift from loss making to profitable results would directly address the main risk highlighted in the historical data.
  • With basic EPS over the last 12 months at a US$0.18 loss per share versus profitable quarters in Q2 and Q4 2025, bulls may see recent quarterly profits as early signs of the earnings improvement they are looking for, even though the full year is still in loss territory.
