Bulls say

Preferred Bank demonstrates a positive outlook supported by significant growth in key financial metrics, including a 7.5% annualized increase in end-of-period loans primarily driven by commercial and industrial (C&I) lending, which surged by 37%. The bank's net interest margin (NIM) also saw an improvement, rising to 3.85% from an estimated 3.82%, contributing to an increase in net interest income (NII) to $67 million compared to the previous quarter's $62.8 million. Additionally, the upward revision of earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 and 2026, now projected at $9.85 and $9.70 respectively, indicates a stronger balance sheet and enhanced profitability.

Bears say

The analysis indicates a negative outlook for Preferred Bank's stock due to several key financial concerns, including a deterioration in asset quality and a competitive market that adversely affects loan and deposit pricing, thereby compressing the net interest margin. Additionally, sluggish loan demand has led to ongoing balance sheet contraction and a less favorable earning asset mix, reflected in the decline of non-performing loans (NPLs) and core net interest expense (NIE), the latter being above guidance expectations due to an other real estate owned (OREO) writedown. Finally, a significant drop in tangible common equity (TCE) alongside modest growth in tangible book value (TBV) raises concerns regarding the bank's financial stability and future profitability prospects.
