Analysis · BPRN · Finance
A strong second quarter saw Princeton Bancorp's net income climb 14% sequentially to $7.1 million, or $1.04 per share, fueled by a 6% rise in net interest income and a 23-basis-point expansion in net interest margin to 3.86%. The results mark a sharp turnaround from the year-ago quarter, when a large credit provision depressed earnings.
