- Solid quarter with seasonally higher loan balances and “healthy though modest” consumer activity driving fundamental strength.
- Strategic actions—including aggressive deposit rate reductions—are supporting expectations for net interest margin (NIM) outperformance and potential improvement in net charge-off guidance.
