Analysis · IBOC · Finance
A sharp jump in credit loss provisions overshadowed modestly higher net interest income, driving a 4.3% decline in Q2 net income to $95.8 million, or $1.54 per share. The provision for credit losses surged 152.5% to $11.1 million, fueled by a doubling of non-accrual loans to $297.1 million — primarily tied to a relationship of affordable housing project loans placed on non-accrual this quarter. While the bank remains well-capitalized with a CET1 ratio of 23.56%, the sudden deterioration in credit quality marks a notable shift from recent quarters and warrants attention. The stock is trading near its 52-week high, suggesting the market may not yet be pricing in this credit stress.
