A strong second quarter saw net income rise 12.8% year-over-year to $17.0 million, or $0.98 per share. The net interest margin widened 16 basis points to 2.87%, helped by loan growth and lower deposit costs. During the quarter, 479,141 shares were repurchased at an average price of $50.76, pushing the year-to-date total past 1 million shares—a substantial return of capital to shareholders. Credit quality remains pristine, with net recoveries of $88,000 and nonperforming loans at just 0.40% of total loans. The results underscore the bank's conservative, profitable operating model and arrive amid activist investor interest, as HoldCo Asset Management recently disclosed a 5.1% stake and called the shares undervalued.
