Oak Valley Bancorp Posts 77c EPS for Third Quarter
OVLY sits 27% above its 52-week low of $26.14.
Summary
Oak Valley Bancorp reported third-quarter EPS of 77 cents, up from the 61 cents it earned in Q2 2026, with net income of $6.45 million and a net interest margin of 4.24%. That is a meaningful step up for a small bank holding company, roughly a quarter better sequentially, and it comes without any offsetting disclosure in the headline. The prior quarter's 10-Q confirmed $5.11 million in net income and a $0.375 dividend, so the higher EPS points to improved profitability rather than a one-off accounting item. Insiders have been modest buyers recently, with directors Strong and Lafferty adding shares in July and September. The headline carries no revenue or credit-quality detail, so the quality of the beat is not yet clear.
