What the filing says
Cathay General Bancorp reported Q2 2026 net income of $92.2M ($1.37 diluted EPS), up 6.1% QoQ, driven by net interest margin expansion to 3.48% and disciplined execution. Loans grew $446.7M (2.2%) to $20.62B; deposits grew $386.0M (1.9%) to $21.06B. Board approved increase to share repurchase authorization from $150M to $200M (pending regulatory approval) and redemption of $54.1M trust preferred securities (45% of $119.1M outstanding).
Why this rating
Solid earnings growth and NIM expansion are operationally positive, but routine for a mature bank. Capital actions ($200M buyback authorization) moderate-sized relative to $3.0B market cap; nonperforming assets rose 13.7% to $145.4M, showing credit headwinds.
