Independent Bank: Shrugging Off A Tough Macro Environment, For Now
Independent Bank Corp. reported record Q3 profitability, with net income of $89.7 million and EPS of $1.90, while net interest margin expanded to 3.89% and net interest income rose $9.7 million sequentially. Loan and deposit growth remained positive, although nonperforming loans increased to 0.68% of total loans.
Why it matters — The results show stronger earnings and margins alongside continued growth, while the rise in nonperforming loans highlights softer asset quality.
