Analysis · COSO · Finance
A strong second quarter for CoastalSouth Bancshares saw net income climb 16% sequentially to $7.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. The net interest margin widened 7 basis points to 3.66%, helped by lower deposit costs and a favorable shift in funding mix. Loan growth was robust — held-for-investment loans expanded at a 19.3% annualized pace on $181.6 million in production, with new loans coming on at a 6.67% weighted average coupon, well above the portfolio yield. Credit quality held up: net charge-offs were just 0.01% of average loans, and nonperforming assets remained stable at 0.76% of total assets.
