  • Banc of California Q4 CY2025 Earnings Beat Revenue Estimates, Stock Declines
    January 21, 2026, 5:32 PM EST. Banc of California (NYSE:BANC) reported Q4 CY2025 revenue of $292.9 million, up 10.7% year-over-year, exceeding analysts' $289.1 million forecast. Non-GAAP earnings per share reached $0.42, beating expectations by 13.7%. Net interest income surged 77.2% to $416.9 million, largely surpassing estimates. Efficiency ratio improved significantly to 59.4% versus 64.4% projected. Despite strong financials, Banc of California's shares fell amid concerns over stagnant revenue growth over five years, which stood near $1.12 billion trailing 12 months. CEO Jared Wolff highlighted disciplined expense management and stable credit quality fueling double-digit loan and deposit growth. The regional bank, leveraging its tech-driven SmartStreet platform, focuses on small to mid-sized clients. Market cap is $3.14 billion, with net interest margin steady at 3.2%. Analysts question the long-term quality of growth despite recent gains.
