OP Bancorp (OPBK) Stock Forecast & Price Target
OP Bancorp (OPBK) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
OP Bancorp has demonstrated significant financial strength, evidenced by a robust 22 basis points (bps) expansion in net interest margin (NIM) to 3.23%, which substantially surpassed industry expectations. The bank experienced a notable 15.4% increase in ending loans quarter-over-quarter, highlighting its ability to fuel growth in its lending portfolio. Additionally, non-interest-bearing deposits (NIBDs) rose by 14% on an average basis for the second consecutive quarter, reflecting strong deposit growth and competitive positioning within its targeted market.
Bears say
OP Bancorp has experienced a decline in average earning asset yields, dropping 4 basis points to 6.15%, primarily due to reduced loan yields and nonaccrual interest reversals, which could negatively impact future profitability. The bank faces risks associated with deteriorating asset quality, competitive market pressures affecting loan and deposit pricing, and weak loan demand, all of which could hinder growth and compress margins. Additionally, a reduction in non-interest income, particularly from SBA gain-on-sale transactions, further contributes to a less favorable financial outlook for OP Bancorp amidst a challenging economic environment.
