Hope Bancorp reports Q3 2026 earnings and completes MANUBANK commercial banking acquisition
Hope Bancorp posted third‑quarter 2026 results after closing the acquisition of SM B C MANUBANK’s commercial banking unit on October 1, 2026. The bank reported diluted earnings of $0.28 per share, with adjusted non‑GAAP EPS of $0.29, and revenue of about $157.5 million, beating consensus estimates. Net interest margin expanded to 3.02% and net income rose to $35.6 million, while total deposits and loans grew to $16.1 billion and $15.1 billion respectively.
Why it matters
The earnings miss on headline EPS may pressure the stock, but the revenue beat and margin expansion signal that the MANUBANK integration is adding earnings accretion. The acquisition also added $2.6 billion of low‑cost deposits, improving funding mix but lowering the CET1 ratio to an expected 10.2%, which investors will monitor for capital adequacy.
