Description: PFBC Preferred Bank January 19, 2026
Preferred Bank (NASDAQ:PFBC) is a Los Angeles-based regional bank that serves small- and mid-size businesses, entrepreneurs, real-estate developers, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals. Its product suite includes traditional deposit accounts (checking, savings, money-market, CDs, IRAs) and a broad loan portfolio covering residential and commercial mortgages, construction financing, SBA loans, lines of credit, term loans, and various trade-finance instruments, complemented by cash-management and digital banking platforms.
Key operating metrics (as of the latest FY2024 filing) show a net interest margin of roughly 3.1 % and a loan-to-deposit ratio near 71 %, indicating a conservative funding stance. Return on equity (ROE) has hovered around 9 %, while non-performing loans remain below 0.5 % of total assets, reflecting strong credit quality. The bank’s performance is sensitive to the Federal Reserve’s rate policy-higher rates boost NIM but can pressure commercial-real-estate borrowers, a sector that currently faces tightening credit conditions and elevated vacancy rates in office and retail properties.
