Bridgewater Bancshares reports Q1 EPS 24c, consensus 25c

“Bridgewater’s 2024 first quarter results were highlighted by improved balance sheet growth, including the loan portfolio and core deposits,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jerry Baack. “We were encouraged by an uptick in loan balances due to the increased loan demand and pipelines we began seeing in late 2023. Deposit balances, including core deposits, also rebounded nicely during the quarter, resulting in our loan-to-deposit ratio dropping below 100% for the first time since the first quarter of 2022.”
