Plumas Bancorp (PLBC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Plumas Bancorp exhibits a positive outlook supported by a robust increase in its reserves, with the allowance for loan and lease losses (ACL) rising to 1.40%, despite recording zero net charge-offs, indicating sound credit quality and prudent risk management. Additionally, the projected increase in net interest expense (NIE) to $13.8 million in the third quarter reflects expected growth driven by recent acquisitions, such as that of CRSB, which is anticipated to strengthen the bank’s overall financial position. Furthermore, the bank is modeling a 2% loan growth in the second half of 2025, underscoring confidence in its organic growth and potential for future mergers and acquisitions.
Bears say
Plumas Bancorp has experienced a concerning decline in key financial metrics, including a drop in core net interest expense (NIE) by 3.4% quarter over quarter (LQ) to $10.5 million, influenced by seasonally lower compensation. Additionally, the bank's net interest margin (NIM) diminished by 12 basis points to 4.83%, largely due to rising deposit costs and lower loan yields, with projections indicating a further decrease in NIM to 4.79% in the upcoming quarter. The bank's non-performing loan (NPL) coverage ratio has significantly decreased to 104% from 361%, suggesting potential challenges in loan performance and increased provisioning concerns moving forward.
