Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hanmi Financial Corp demonstrated a positive trend in net interest margin (NIM), expanding by 6 basis points to 3.27%, exceeding prior estimates, while net interest income (NII) showed an increase of $1.8 million, reaching $62.9 million. Despite an increase in criticized loans due to a downgrade in a specific credit, non-performing assets (NPAs) decreased, reflecting improved asset quality with NPAs at 0.31% of loans plus REO, down from 0.33% in the previous quarter. Additionally, the bank successfully reduced interest-bearing liability costs, which declined to 3.41%, indicating effective management of funding costs and supporting a favorable outlook for future financial performance.
Bears say
Hanmi Financial Corp has set a loan growth target of low-to-mid single digits for 2026, reflecting a sluggish demand for loans and a potential contraction in its balance sheet, which may lead to a less profitable earning asset mix. The bank experienced a significant decline in end-of-period (EOP) deposits, dropping 5.3% quarter-over-quarter, including a notable decrease in non-interest-bearing (NIB) deposits, which shifted the NIB to total deposit ratio from 30.8% to 30.2%. Furthermore, management has expressed concerns regarding asset quality deterioration and competitive market pressures affecting loan and deposit pricing, which could further challenge net interest margins.
