Analysis · HOPE · Finance
Net income of $35.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, rose 8% quarter-over-quarter and 16% year-over-year, while the net interest margin expanded to 3.02% and pre-provision net revenue climbed 21% year-over-year to $54.7 million. The larger development is the first full-year 2026 outlook incorporating the just-closed MANUBANK acquisition: management now guides to roughly 15% loan growth, 16%-18% revenue growth and 23%-25% PPNR growth versus 2025. That guidance, together with a $0.14 quarterly dividend, carries the story beyond the EPS headline already in circulation. The offset is capital: the all-cash MANUBANK deal cuts the CET1 ratio by about 200 bps to a pro forma ~10.20%, still above well-capitalized minimums but a materially thinner buffer.
