Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin trajectory constructive: NIM at 2.78% with improving loan yields and modestly lower deposit costs; watch sustainability absent one-time Visa B income .
- Credit pristine and provisioning muted: NPAs/NPLs at 0.01%; allowance stable at $15.4M; net recoveries; classified asset uptick tied to one relationship with remediation plan .
- Funding dynamics: seasonal deposit decline led to higher FHLB advances ($102.5M); liquidity robust with 160% coverage of uninsured deposits; monitor funding mix and deposit beta normalization .
- Franchise visibility: Russell 2000 inclusion and continued $0.02 dividend support investor attention; repurchase authorization adds optionality though no activity yet under new program .
- Trust fee engine: AUM rose to $900.1M, supporting non-interest income stability, partially offsetting volatility in other fee lines .
- Office CRE exposure managed: balances edged lower; LTV and DSCR metrics remain conservative; Portland core exposure limited at 1.90% of loans .
- Near-term trading: modest EPS beat and margin expansion are positives; watch deposit trends in Q2 and any updates on classified assets resolution as potential stock movers .
