Mid Penn Bancorp reports Q1 EPS 73c, consensus 61c

“With the continuation of the inverted yield curve, persistent escalation in funding costs and additional regional bank asset quality issues, we entered the first quarter expecting a daily fight simply to meet analyst expectations. The team at Mid Penn once again delivered with $0.73 in quarterly EPS, which is almost 20% over consensus estimates. We feel good about those results,” Chair, President and CEO Rory G. Ritrievi said. “In my 4Q23 message, I signaled that we would be cutting operating costs while also significantly slowing down balance sheet growth until the operating environment improved. In reviewing these results, you will see that we accomplished that while also continuing a solid trend in asset quality.”
