Investing.com -- RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB) reported second-quarter earnings that significantly exceeded analyst expectations, driving shares up 4.5% as the company benefited from stronger loan growth and a one-time tax credit.
The California-based bank reported earnings per share of $0.52 for the second quarter of 2025, beating analyst estimates of $0.36 by 44%. Revenue came in at $35.8 million, well above the consensus estimate of $29.62 million.

"Another quarter of strong loan growth and stable loan yields drove increasing net interest income and margin expansion in the second quarter," said Johnny Lee, President and CEO of RBB Bancorp. "We continue to work through our nonperforming assets and remain focused on resolving our nonperforming loans as quickly as possible while minimizing the impact to earnings and capital."
