Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hanmi Financial Corp demonstrated a solid financial performance, with a notable deposit growth of 7% on a linked-quarter annualized basis, driven by increases in certificates of deposit (7.7%) and non-interest bearing deposits (7.5%). Additionally, the bank reported a 2% increase in loans quarter-over-quarter, fueled by improved line utilization and a reduction in payoffs, which reflects a strategic focus on loan engagement despite a decrease in new loan production. Moreover, Hanmi Financial has raised its Small Business Administration (SBA) production target, indicating optimism in its lending operations, while also anticipating a gain from mortgage loan sales, further underpinning its positive outlook.
Bears say
Hanmi Financial Corp has reduced its projected earnings per share (EPS) for 2025 and 2026 to $2.40 and $2.80, respectively, a decrease from previous estimates, reflecting increased expectations for loan loss provisions (LLP) and non-interest expenses (NIE). The bank's loan and deposit growth is expected to remain low to mid-single digits through 2025, indicating limited growth potential in a competitive banking environment. Furthermore, recent financial challenges, including an $8.6 million charge-off related to a syndicated credit exposure, have raised concerns about asset quality and overall financial stability.
