TowneBank Misses Q1 Revenue and Adjusted EPS Estimates
TOWN is trading near its 52-week low of $31.18 (14% above the low).
Summary
TowneBank reported first-quarter revenue of $246.45 million and adjusted EPS of $0.74, both falling short of analyst expectations of $256.42 million and $0.76, respectively. While the company completed the acquisition of Dogwood State Bank, which boosted loans and deposits, noninterest expenses rose significantly due to acquisition-related costs and increased salaries.
