  • Consolidated assets increased to $1.22B at quarter-end, up from $1.17B at June 30 and $1.13B at year-end 2024, reflecting continued balance sheet growth through 2025 .
  • The Board declared a 3% stock dividend payable December 1, 2025; all current and prior EPS figures were retroactively adjusted for the dividend, which is a shareholder-friendly capital action and a potential near-term catalyst .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Continued balance sheet expansion: assets reached $1.22B at 9/30/25 vs $1.17B at 6/30/25 and $1.13B at 12/31/24, highlighting consistent growth year-to-date .

  • Management emphasized operating momentum mid-year: “Our financial performance through the first six months of 2025 continues to excel… Net interest margin stood at 3.56%… Total loans reached $687M… Deposits increased…” .

What Went Wrong

  • Q3 quarterly net income to common declined year-over-year to $2.7M ($0.38) from $2.9M ($0.39) despite asset growth, indicating some pressure versus the prior-year quarter .
  • Sequential operating commentary was limited in the Q3 release (no detailed margin or loan mix disclosures), reducing transparency on drivers versus Q2’s detailed shareholder letter .
  • Absence of an earnings call transcript and lack of consensus estimates hindered investor triangulation on guidance and expectations (Values retrieved from S&P Global).*

Estimates Context

  • No S&P Global consensus EPS or revenue estimates were available for Q3 2025; as such, no beat/miss determination versus Wall Street is possible (Values retrieved from S&P Global).*
  • Reported Q3 EPS was $0.38 (adjusted for the 3% stock dividend); investors should rely on company-reported figures for performance assessment in absence of consensus .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Steady quarterly earnings: Q3 net income to common $2.7M and $0.38 EPS; flat sequentially vs Q2 and slightly lower year-over-year, indicating resilient profitability despite macro challenges .
  • Balance sheet momentum: assets climbed to $1.22B, continuing growth from $1.17B in Q2 and $1.13B at year-end 2024, a constructive backdrop for future earnings capacity .
  • Capital return: the 3% stock dividend is a shareholder-friendly move and may support liquidity and investor interest in the near term; EPS figures are retroactively adjusted .
  • Mid-year operating metrics were strong: NIM at 3.56%, loans at $687M, and deposits up year-over-year, positioning the franchise well entering Q3 even though detailed Q3 drivers were not disclosed .
  • Limited external coverage: absence of S&P Global consensus estimates and a Q3 earnings call constrain the ability to benchmark and may reduce short-term volatility tied to “beats/misses” (Values retrieved from S&P Global).*
  • Focus areas into Q4: monitor NIM trajectory, loan/deposit mix trends, and any subsequent capital actions or disclosures to gauge earnings durability and ROE momentum .
  • Tactical implication: without consensus and call color, price action may hinge on capital actions (e.g., stock dividend) and subsequent disclosures; continue to track regulatory and macro commentary given management’s cautious tone earlier in 2025 .
