Oak Valley Q2 Net Income Drops to $5.11M as Costs Surge
OVLY sits 30% above its 52-week low of $25.41.
Summary
Oak Valley Bancorp's Q2 net income fell to $5.11 million, or $0.61 per share, down from both the prior year and Q1 2026, as rising staffing and operating costs from branch expansion ate into loan growth gains. Net interest income rose to $18.94 million on higher loan balances and yields, but non-interest income dropped sharply due to the absence of a special dividend and fair value changes that boosted the prior quarter. The earnings decline follows a stable Q1 and a 25% dividend increase announced in May, suggesting margin pressure is accelerating. With no guidance provided, the market will focus on whether cost growth moderates in the second half.
At the time of this announcement, OVLY was trading at $32.93 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $277.1M. The 52-week trading range was $25.41 to $35.97.
