Home Bancorp reports Q1 EPS $1.39, consensus $1.21

"The headlines for the quarter focused on two well publicized bank failures which don’t tell the whole story," said John Bordelon, President and CEO of the company and the Bank. "Home Bancorp is well capitalized and has appropriate liquidity to meet our customer needs. We continue to attract outstanding commercial talent in various markets throughout our footprint while maintaining a strong credit discipline. Loan growth moderated in the first quarter of 2023 due in part to market volatility. Loans increased approximately 1.5% in 2023 resulting in a net loan growth, excluding PPP, for the seventh consecutive quarter. As we move forward in 2023, we remain committed to providing exceptional service to our new and existing customers. The company is well positioned for the remainder of 2023."
