Pacific Valley Bancorp Reports 52% Surge in Quarterly Net Income

Pacific Valley Bancorp reported net income of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, marking a 52% increase over the same period last year. The Salinas-based firm saw its total assets climb to $653 million, fueled by a double-digit expansion in both loan portfolios and deposit holdings.

The bank’s performance reflects a broader growth strategy, with total loans rising 9.6% to $547 million and total deposits increasing 14.2% to $560 million compared to mid-2025. CEO Anker Fanoe attributed these results to organic growth efforts, which included strategic investments in new personnel for loan and deposit production. While increased operating costs accompanied this expansion, they were largely offset by higher interest income and improved net interest margins, which reached 3.82% for the quarter.

Financial stability remains a central pillar of the company's outlook, as evidenced by a 12.60% Community Bank Leverage Ratio, well above the regulatory threshold. CFO Steve Leen noted that the bank maintains a robust liquidity position, with on-balance sheet and contingent liquidity totaling 134% of uninsured deposits. Despite the competitive environment in California’s banking sector, the firm reported that credit quality remains high, with non-performing loans holding steady at 0.04% of gross loans.
