Forward Guidance
The potential for further short-term rate reductions combined with a recent increase in the longer-term portion of the yield curve changes the landscape considerably and causes our outlook on net interest margin to be unclear. However, we believe the Company is well positioned to reasonably manage and balance our asset and liability pricing in the coming months.
Positive Outlook
- Company is well positioned to reasonably manage asset and liability pricing.
- Strong quarter driven by loan growth.

Challenges Ahead
