what happened

Reuters reported third-quarter figures for two US regional lenders. First Hawaiian posted net income of USD 63.73 million and earnings per share of USD 0.52. Its credit loss provision was USD 20.308 million, and net interest income reached USD 174.104 million.

Preferred Bank reported net income of USD 32.948 million for the same quarter. Its net interest income came to USD 66.711 million, and its net interest margin was 3.49%.

why it matters

Reports like these are a useful gauge of smaller and mid-sized banks. Interest income and margin show how lenders earn from lending, while the size of loss provisions hints at how much trouble they expect among borrowers. These two companies have little effect on the broad market alone, but their numbers add detail to the picture for the regional bank sector.
