OP Bancorp (OPBK) Stock Forecast & Price Target
OP Bancorp (OPBK) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
OP Bancorp's stock outlook appears positive due to a significant 22 basis points (bps) expansion in net interest margin (NIM), driven by easing deposit competition and improved loan yields. The bank's total loans experienced a robust increase of 15.4% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting a strong demand for lending, particularly within its targeted small- and medium-sized business segments. Additionally, non-interest bearing deposits (NIBDs) rose by 14% on an average basis for the second consecutive quarter, indicating growing customer deposits and enhanced liquidity.
Bears say
The negative outlook on OP Bancorp's stock is primarily driven by a decline in earning asset yields, which dropped 4 basis points to 6.15%, and a contraction in loan yields due to nonaccrual interest reversals. Additionally, there are potential risks surrounding asset quality, increased competitive pressures impacting loan and deposit pricing, and a general weakening in loan demand that could hinder growth and profitability. Moreover, a reduction in expected SBA gains and constraints on balance sheet flexibility during rising interest rate environments further amplify the vulnerability of OP Bancorp's earnings prospects.
