QNB Q2 Net Income Drops on Victory Bancorp Merger Costs, Adjusted EPS Rises
QNBC sits 35% above its 52-week low of $32.16.
Summary
QNB Corp. reported Q2 net income of $3.01 million, down from the prior year due to merger-related costs from the Victory Bancorp acquisition. Adjusted EPS rose year-over-year, reflecting underlying strength. Net interest income increased to $18.35 million, driven by higher loan balances and improved yields, particularly in commercial real estate. The net interest margin expanded to 3.16%. The acquisition contributed to asset, loan, and deposit growth, and the systems integration was completed in late June. The results show the deal is already adding to the top line, though one-time costs weighed on reported earnings. No specific guidance was provided.
