Watch the late-October closing of the $56.7M nonaccrual loan at par — a successful resolution would reduce nonperforming assets by ~52% and support credit sentiment. Monitor Q4 loan pipeline commentary for signs of growth after a $41M sequential decline in loans held for investment.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Preferred Bank (PFBC) reported Q3 2026 EPS of $2.73, a modest 1.6% beat vs. the $2.69 consensus, but net income declined 8.3% YoY to $32.9M driven by a $4.6M drop in net interest income. Net interest margin contracted to 3.49% from 3.73% last quarter and 3.92% a year ago, pressured by $2.1M in interest reversals on newly nonaccrual loans and a higher subordinated debt coupon. Nonperforming loans rose to $109.4M from $98.9M last quarter, though management expects a $56.7M nonaccrual loan to close at par in late October.
