Overview

  • US regional bank reported Q2 net income and EPS up slightly from prior year

  • Net interest income rose modestly year-over-year, driven by loan growth

  • Company repurchased 87,000 shares for $3.6 mln and maintained quarterly dividend

Outlook

Result Drivers

  • LOAN GROWTH - Net interest income increased due to higher interest income on loans receivable, mainly from growth in the commercial real estate portfolio
