A standout quarter for Parke Bancorp saw net income climb 47.8% to $12.2 million. The main engine was a 28.8% surge in net interest income, fueled by higher loan yields and lower deposit costs that pushed the net interest margin to 4.17% from 3.41% a year ago. Credit quality also strengthened considerably: nonperforming loans were halved to $5.4 million, and the provision for credit losses fell 31%. The balance sheet expanded modestly, with total assets reaching $2.30 billion, while book value per share rose to roughly $29.43. A slight uptick in non-interest expenses was the only blemish, but the overall picture is one of a community bank firing on all cylinders in a favorable rate environment.
