Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results for 2026
Rhea-AI Summary
Manhattan Bridge Capital (Nasdaq: LOAN) reported second quarter 2026 total revenue of approximately $2.05 million, down 13.2% from $2.36 million in 2025, as lower interest rates and origination fees, plus about $85,000 of discretionary borrower credits, offset higher loan origination volume. Net income for the quarter was about $1.15 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, versus $1.41 million, or $0.12, a decline of 18.4%, primarily due to reduced revenue, partially offset by lower interest expense.
For the first six months of 2026, revenue was roughly $4.11 million, down 11.1%, and net income was about $2.43 million, or $0.21 per share, down 12.9% year over year. According to Manhattan Bridge Capital, loans receivable rose to about $61.8 million at June 30, 2026, shareholders’ equity was approximately $43.0 million, and the company continued dividends and modest share repurchases under a 100,000‑share buyback authorization. Management also noted it may need to foreclose on a Florida loan but currently expects to recover outstanding principal and accrued interest within one to two years.
