Community Banks Record Improvement in NIMs, EPS

 Most banks between $5 billion and $10 billion in assets that reported earnings by January 31 saw their results improve, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Forty-five out of 69 reported year-over-year gains in EPS, while just 24 reported year-over-year declines. Of the 45 banks that reported gains, 28 also improved EPS quarter over quarter. 

Another S&P article discusses how community banks' median year-over-year NIMs improved across all U.S. regions in the fourth quarter, while median loan growth declined across all regions.
