Eagle Bancorp reports Q2 EPS 22c, consensus 29c

Reports Q2 revenues $19.9M vs. $21.5M last year. “We produced solid second quarter results, fueled by disciplined loan growth, pristine credit quality metrics and net interest margin expansion, compared to the previous quarter,” said Laura F. Clark, President and CEO. “We continue to attract high quality loans, achieving loan growth of 6.8% year-over-year, even in the current rate environment. Additionally, the increase in loan yields more than offset the increase in funding costs, contributing to net interest margin expansion for the second consecutive quarter. We are one of three publicly traded financial institutions based in Montana, and with our strong deposit franchise and healthy capital levels we are well positioned to continue to grow in our markets.” Eagle’s total assets increased 3.7% to $2.10 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $2.02 billion a year ago, and increased 1.1% compared to $2.08 billion three months earlier. The ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets was 6.33% at June 30, 2024, from 6.12% a year ago and 6.32% three months earlier.
