What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Net interest margin continued to improve (2.38% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 vs. 2.32% for the six months and 2.27% for Q1), supporting earnings quality despite competitive funding markets .

What Went Wrong
- Sequential EPS declined to $0.31 from $0.38 as noninterest expense increased and revenue was slightly lower quarter over quarter, tempering momentum from Q2’s stronger print .
- Deposit competition remained difficult per management commentary, and elevated funding costs, while down from Q2, continued to constrain spread dynamics .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin recovery remains the core driver: NIM improvement (2.38% nine‑month) and lower interest expense vs. prior year underpin better earnings quality .
- Funding conditions are still competitive, but deposits rose sequentially and borrowings fell, signaling improved balance sheet positioning into Q4 .
- Credit remains benign: NPAs at 0.04% and robust allowance coverage offer resilience if macro softens .
- Sequential EPS pullback owes to slightly lower revenue and higher noninterest expense; watch cost discipline and fee trends in upcoming quarters .
- Dividend continuity ($0.20 semiannual) and management’s focus on shareholder enhancement opportunities add a supportive capital return and strategic optionality backdrop .
- Monitor loan growth and mix: loans dipped sequentially; funding costs and deposit competition will dictate growth pacing and spread capture .
- With sparse sell‑side coverage, catalysts will likely be operational (margin trajectory, deposit trends) rather than estimate beats/misses; use company‑reported metrics and KPIs to track trajectory .
