CF Bankshares delivered a strong second quarter, with net income rising 18% sequentially to $5.9 million, fueled by a wider net interest margin. Yet the upbeat earnings are overshadowed by a significant worsening in credit quality: nonperforming loans jumped to $20.8 million, and criticized/classified loans more than doubled to $64.2 million. Adding to the cautionary signals, the CEO adopted a 10b5-1 plan to sell up to 60,000 shares. The rapid deterioration in loan quality could pressure future provisions and capital, tempering the earnings beat.
