MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS, DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Higher net interest income supported annual profit growth despite increased credit loss provisions and lower non-interest income.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Magyar Bancorp (MGYR) reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income of $3.3 million, up 31% from the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share rose to $0.52 from $0.40. For the year ended September 30, 2026, net income increased 29% to $12.6 million, while diluted earnings per share rose to $1.99 from $1.56.
Annual net interest and dividend income increased 17.5% to $37.5 million, and net interest margin widened to 3.69% from 3.34%. Annual credit loss provisions rose to $946 thousand from $402 thousand, while non-interest income fell 15.5% to $3.1 million. Total loans reached $908.2 million and deposits reached $887.3 million at September 30. Non-performing loans totaled $428 thousand, with their share of total loans unchanged at 0.05% year over year. The board increased the quarterly dividend to $0.12 per share, payable November 24, 2026, to shareholders of record November 10.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Magyar Bancorp's fiscal 2026 earnings?
Magyar Bancorp earned $12.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2026, up 29% from $9.8 million in fiscal 2025. Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.99 from $1.56.
How much is Magyar Bancorp's increased quarterly dividend and when is it paid?
The increased quarterly dividend is $0.12 per share, payable November 24, 2026, to shareholders of record November 10, 2026. This is Magyar Bancorp's second dividend increase this fiscal year.
Why did Magyar Bancorp's fiscal 2026 credit loss provisions increase?
Growth in commercial real estate loans and construction loan commitments accounted for most fiscal 2026 credit loss provisions. The allowance for off-balance-sheet credit losses increased $425 thousand to $623 thousand, entirely through provisions resulting from higher outstanding construction loan commitments.
What affected Magyar Bancorp's fiscal 2026 operating expenses?
Higher compensation and benefit expenses were the primary driver of the annual increase in non-interest expenses. Compensation and benefits rose $490 thousand, or 3.9%, reflecting merit increases, medical insurance costs and incentive accruals. Termination of the defined benefit pension plan partly offset these costs with a $139 thousand net settlement credit.
