RBB Bancorp Reports 25% Increase in Q3 2026 Net Income Driven by Loan Growth
RBB Bancorp (RBB) reported a significant boost in its third-quarter 2026 earnings, with net income rising 25% to $12.6 million. This growth was primarily fueled by increased net interest income and strategic expansion into commercial lending. To diversify away from slowing single-family residential mortgage activity, the company has established a new loan production office in Northern California focused on commercial and industrial (C&I) and construction loans. The bank is also making strides in improving credit quality by reducing nonperforming assets and planning to divest its remaining real estate owned (REO) property in Los Angeles by early 2027. Despite rising deposit costs, RBB Bancorp aims to protect its net interest margin through the rapid repricing of its variable-rate loan portfolio, which maintains a strong tangible common equity ratio of 11.1%.
