Preferred Bank (PFBC) is expected to report a decline in earnings on lower revenues for the quarter ended March 2025. The earnings report on April 25, 2025, could impact the stock price depending on how it compares to estimates. Analysts predict quarterly earnings of $2.33 per share, down 4.5% year-over-year, with revenues expected to be $70.45 million, a decrease of 1.6%.

The Zacks Earnings ESP model compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Consensus Estimate, indicating a deviation in actual earnings from expectations. A positive ESP reading, combined with a Zacks Rank of 1, 2, or 3, suggests a likely earnings beat. However, a negative ESP reading does not guarantee an earnings miss. For Preferred Bank, the Earnings ESP is -0.97%, and the stock holds a Zacks Rank of 4.

First Northwest Bancorp (FNWB) in the same industry is expected to post earnings of $0.12 per share for the quarter, indicating a year-over-year change of +200%. While the consensus EPS estimate has not changed in the last 30 days, the Earnings ESP of 0.00% combined with a Zacks Rank of 1 makes it challenging to predict an earnings beat. The company has surpassed EPS estimates only once in the last four quarters.

Investors are advised to consider various factors before investing in Preferred Bank or First Northwest Bancorp. While an earnings beat can influence stock movements, other factors can also impact performance. Utilizing tools like the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter can help identify potential stocks to buy or sell before earnings releases.
