The sequential earnings beat and NIM expansion are positive, but the sharp rise in nonperforming loans (up 139% YoY) warrants monitoring for credit quality deterioration. The zero FHLB borrowing position and sub-debt paydown suggest a conservative capital posture. Watch for further NPL resolution and loan growth trajectory in coming quarters.
