  • Revenue Consensus Mean: N/A; Actual revenue-type data in S&P Global shows $22.519M for Q3 2025* (note: banks report NII and noninterest income; consensus “revenue” may reflect aggregator methodology)
  • EPS Consensus Mean: N/A*
  • Number of estimates: N/A*

Values retrieved from S&P Global.*

Implication: With limited Street coverage, modeled estimates may need to reflect sustained NIM expansion, stronger securities income, and higher OpEx tied to technology and acquisition prep .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Profitability inflection: EPS $1.04 and ROE 16.6% driven by NIM expansion and securities income; monitor sustainability as deposit/borrowings costs normalize .
  • Operating leverage improved: efficiency ratio at 67.23% vs 76.0% YoY; upside if tech/core conversion expenses normalize post-integration .
  • Credit steady: minimal quarterly provision ($20K) and allowance at 1.12% of loans; watch qualitative factor updates amid loan growth .
  • Capital return intact: dividend at $0.18 in Q3 and Q4, supporting yield while equity base strengthens (+12.5% YoY) .
  • Strategic catalyst: Cecil Bank deal slated for Q1 2026 close; expect integration costs and potential balance sheet/market extensions in Maryland footprint .
  • Trading lens: Positive narrative on NIM/efficiency could be a near-term support; limited Street estimates mean price moves may hinge on company-reported trends and dividend continuity .
  • Watch items: securities gains variability, OpEx trajectory (tech/integration), deposit pricing pressure, and regulatory milestones for the acquisition .
