OP Bancorp (OPBK) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
OP Bancorp demonstrated strong financial performance with a notable 22 basis points (bps) expansion in net interest margin (NIM), driven by increased loan yields and easing deposit competition. The bank's loans saw a significant increase of 15.4% quarter-over-quarter, surpassing the previous quarter's growth of 5.4%, indicating robust demand from small- and medium-sized businesses and ethnic communities. Additionally, non-interest-bearing deposits (NIBDs) rose by 14% on an average basis for the second consecutive quarter, reflecting improved customer confidence and strengthening its financial foundation.
Bears say
The financial analysis indicates a negative outlook for OP Bancorp's stock primarily due to declining average earning asset yields, which have fallen to 6.15%, alongside a contraction in loan yields to 6.51%, largely impacted by nonaccrual interest reversals. Additionally, the bank faces risks associated with potential deterioration in asset quality, weakened loan demand, and competitive pressures that threaten to compress net interest margins. Lastly, a noted decrease in fee income from lower SBA gain-on-sale income raises concerns about future profitability and growth, compounded by expectations of increased credit costs and reduced loan demand as market conditions shift.
