Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hanmi Financial Corp has demonstrated a solid financial performance, reflected in a 7% growth in deposits, with significant contributions from certificates of deposit (CDs) and non-interest-bearing accounts (NIB), indicating strong customer trust and retention. The bank has also experienced a 2% increase in loans, supported by improved line utilization despite a reduction in production, which suggests a resilient demand for its lending services. Furthermore, the upward revision of its Small Business Administration (SBA) production target to $45M-$50M, alongside an anticipated $0.7M gain in mortgage gain on sale, portrays a positive outlook for future revenue streams.
Bears say
Hanmi Financial Corp has adjusted its earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 and 2026 downwards, reflecting a decrease from $2.58 to $2.40 and from $2.85 to $2.80, respectively, largely due to expected higher loan loss provisions (LLP) and non-interest expenses (NIE). The bank maintains a low to mid-single-digit growth expectation for both loans and deposits for 2025, indicating persistent challenges in expanding its customer base and financial performance. Additionally, a significant loan charge-off of $8.6 million related to a syndicated commercial real estate loan has impacted the allowance for credit losses (ACL), which has decreased by 6 basis points to 1.06%, further raising concerns about the bank's credit quality and risk exposure.
