Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Hanmi Financial (HAFC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hanmi Financial is expected to experience further net interest margin expansion in the future due to their expected deposit cost relief and accretive loan growth, with NIM increasing by 6 bps in the most recent quarter to reach 3.28%. The bank also reported a low-to-MSD loan growth for 2026, with projected loan growth of +4%, and has the potential to increase buyback activity after the Board increased its authorization by 1.5M shares, totaling 7.8% of shares outstanding. However, there are potential risks such as deterioration in asset quality, competitive market affecting pricing, and sluggish loan demand leading to balance sheet contraction and less profitable earnings.
Bears say
Hanmi Financial is likely to face challenges in the coming years due to its heavy reliance on small business and commercial and real estate loans, which may be negatively impacted by economic downturns. The bank's recent decrease in fees and SBA loans sold may also lead to weaker revenues. Additionally, the increase in criticized loans is a cause for concern, especially in the hospitality sector, which is currently facing challenges due to the pandemic. These factors could result in lower profitability and a decrease in stock value.
