The sequential NIM compression and sharp drop in fee income (SBA loan sales down 64% QoQ) are the key negatives, partially offset by a one-time tax credit. Monitor Q4 for NIM stabilization and SBA origination pipeline recovery.

Executive Summary
MetroCity Bankshares reported Q3 2026 net income of $24.3M ($0.84/diluted), up 9.8% QoQ and 40.7% YoY, driven by a $4.0M tax credit benefit. Net interest margin compressed 4 bps to 4.07% QoQ, and noninterest income fell 23.8% QoQ due to lower SBA loan sales and equity security mark-to-market losses. The sequential NIM decline and fee income weakness offset the headline earnings beat.
