Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus EPS and revenue estimates for Q3 2025 were unavailable; MGYR appears thinly covered by sell-side. Actual diluted EPS was $0.40, and S&P Global recorded revenue actuals at $8.713M* [GetEstimates: Q3 2025].
- With limited consensus data, estimate revisions are unlikely to be a near-term catalyst; investors should focus on NIM trajectory, loan growth sustainability, and asset quality signals (NPL ratio) .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Earnings quality supported by margin expansion: NIM rose to 3.35%, and net interest income grew 20.5% YoY; watch deposit cost trends as a key lever for continued NIM improvement .
- Loan growth remains a core driver; CRE and residential mortgages led YTD growth—monitor underwriting standards and concentration risk as NPLs ticked up to 0.11% .
- Non-interest income is diversifying modestly (BOLI, prepayment fees, late charges), providing incremental earnings support even as provisions normalize with loan portfolio growth .
- Operating discipline is intact; compensation pressures were manageable, and overall OpEx rose 3.6% YoY—efficiency improvements could bolster ROE in subsequent quarters .
- Capital return is constructive: dividend lifted to $0.08; book value/share at $18.03 reflects earnings accretion despite prior repurchases .
- Limited sell-side coverage dampens estimate-driven trading catalysts; price action likely tied to reported NIM, loan growth, and asset quality updates rather than “beat/miss” headlines [GetEstimates: Q3 2025] .
- Near-term focus: sustainability of NIM gains amid rate environment, deposit mix stability, and credit metrics—particularly CRE performance—given the recent NPL increase from very low levels .
