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.

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.

Southampton, PA, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: QNTO), the holding company for Quaint Oak Bank (the “Bank”), announced today net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 of $635,000, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $41,000, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2025. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.3 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $148,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2025.

Robert T. Strong, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am very proud of what our Team accomplished this quarter. Our return to improved profitability, both for the quarter and year-to-date, reflects the hard work and disciplined decisions we have made over the past year.”

Mr. Strong continued, “Reducing our cost of funds has been a key driver of that progress. With our FHLB borrowings fully repaid and deposit costs declining, our net interest margin has strengthened meaningfully. At the same time, we remain focused on managing operating expenses within our control, resulting in an improved efficiency ratio.”

Mr. Strong added, “We are also encouraged by the consistent growth in fee income. The expansion of SBA lending activities at the Bank, along with increased loan production through our subsidiary, Oakmont Commercial, LLC, has been a significant driver of this growth. By originating and selling these loans into the secondary market, we have enhanced noninterest income while providing valuable financing solutions to our customers.”

Mr. Strong noted, “While we are not satisfied with the current level of non-performing loans, these loans are either well-collateralized or adequately reserved. We are working diligently toward their resolution, including enhancing staffing resources to support these efforts.”

Mr. Strong concluded, “Our capital position continues to strengthen, with both stockholders’ equity and book value per share increasing. As we continue through our Centennial Year, we remain focused on enhancing stockholder value through disciplined execution, long-term profitability, prudent risk management, and maintaining strong capital levels.”

Comparison of Quarter-Over-Quarter Operating Results

Net income amounted to $635,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $676,000, compared with a net loss of $41,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net income over the comparable quarterly period was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $951,000, an increase in non-interest income of $750,000, and a net decrease in the provision for credit losses of $381,000, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $630,000, a decrease in interest and dividend income of $531,000, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $245,000.

The $531,000, or 5.2%, decrease in interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to a $38.1 million decrease in the average balance of loans receivable, which decreased from $599.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $561.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest income by $623,000, and a $1.7 million decrease in the average balance of investment in FHLB stock, which decreased from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $291,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest income $50,000. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest and dividend income was a $12.9 million increase in the average balance of due from banks – interest earning, which increased from $30.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $43.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and had the effect of increasing interest income $111,000, and a three basis point increase in the average yield on loans receivable, which increased from 6.55% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 6.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of increasing interest income $51,000.

The $951,000, or 16.5%, decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was driven by a $536,000, or 100.0%, decrease in interest on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings, attributable to a decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings which decreased from $41.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, to none for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a 31 basis point decrease in the average rate of certificates of deposit from 4.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 3.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, which had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $251,000, a 103 basis point decrease in the average rate of money markets from 3.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 2.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, which had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $250,000, and a $19.4 million decrease in the average balance of money market deposits which decreased from $116.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $97.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $157,000. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense was a 59 basis point decrease in the average rate of business checking accounts which decreased from 4.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 4.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and had the effect of decreasing interest expense $99,000, and a $6.6 million decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit which decreased from $327.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $321.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $70,000. These decreases in interest expense were partially offset by a $37.7 million increase in the average balance of business checking accounts, which increased from $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, to $66.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of increasing interest expense by $437,000.

The average interest rate spread increased from 2.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 2.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and the net interest margin increased from 2.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to 3.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

The $381,000, or 89.6%, net decrease in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 primarily reflected lower overall loan balances and changes in the composition and estimated loss exposure of individually evaluated loans during the period.

The $750,000, or 40.5%, increase in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was primarily attributable to a $412,000 increase in net loan servicing income, a $154,000, or 106.9%, increase in other fees and service charges, net, a $113,000, or 42.5%, increase in gain on sale of SBA loans, a $59,000, or 30.1%, increase in insurance commissions, a $50,000 increase in the net gain on sale of other real estate owned, and a $7,000, or 0.7%, increase in net gain on sale of mortgage and Oakmont Commercial loans. These increases were partially offset by a $48,000, or 16.6%, decrease in mortgage banking and title abstract fees. The increase in net loan servicing income reflects the retention of servicing on certain loan sales.

The $630,000, or 10.8%, increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was primarily due to a $435,000, or 148.5%, increase in other expense, a $336,000, or 250.8%, increase in professional fees, a $54,000, or 192.9%, increase in advertising expense, a $23,000, or 9.2%, increase in software as a service (“SaaS”) subscription expense and an $8,000, or 6.1%, increase in FDIC deposit insurance assessment. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $95,000, or 2.4%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, a $59,000, or 13.5%, decrease in data processing expense, a $49,000, or 10.0% decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses, and a $15,000, or 22.7%, decrease in directors’ fees and expenses. The increase in professional fees during the three-month period was primarily attributable to higher legal expenses associated with delinquent loans, collection activity, and related legal proceedings, as well as other consulting and professional services incurred during the period. The increase in other expense during the three-month period was primarily attributable to SBA loan servicing and closing fees.

The provision for income tax increased $245,000 from $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $275,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income.

Comparison of Nine-Month Operating Results

Net income amounted to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $1.1 million, or 766.2%, compared to net income of $148,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net income on a comparative nine-month basis was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $2.3 million, an increase in non-interest income of $1.6 million, and a net decrease in the provision for credit losses of $663,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income of $1.3 million, an increase in non-interest expense of $1.7 million, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $406,000.

The $1.3 million, or 4.1%, decrease in interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was primarily due to a $19.5 million decrease in the average balance of loans receivable, which decreased from $592.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $573.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest income by $954,000, and a 56 basis point decrease in the average yield on due from banks – interest earning, which decreased from 3.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest income $148,000. Also contributing to the decrease in interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was a $2.0 million decrease in the average balance of investment in FHLB stock, which decreased from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $291,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest income $99,000.

The $2.3 million, or 13.3%, decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was driven by a $1.7 million, or 100.0% decrease in interest on FHLB borrowings, attributable to a decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings which decreased from $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to none for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a 153 basis point decrease in the average rate of money market deposits from 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 1.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $1.1 million, a $42.9 million decrease in the average balance of money market deposits which decreased from $139.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $96.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $1.1 million, a 28 basis point decrease in the average rate of certificates of deposit from 4.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 3.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $721,000. These decreases in interest expense were partially offset by a $33.7 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit which increased from $306.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $339.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of increasing interest expense by $1.1 million, a $32.5 million increase in the average balance of business checking accounts, which increased from $36.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to $69.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of increasing interest expense by $615,000, and a 155 basis point increase in the average rate of business checking accounts, which increased from 2.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to 4.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and had the effect of increasing interest expense by $807,000.

The average interest rate spread increased from 2.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 2.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the net interest margin increased from 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to 3.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

The $663,000, or 50.9%, net decrease in the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 over the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in the specific reserve for non-accrual loans and a decrease in overall loan balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

The $1.6 million, or 26.6%, increase in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was primarily attributable to a $526,000, or 48.5%, increase in gain on sale of SBA loans, a $439,000 increase in net loan servicing income, a $343,000, or 86.4%, increase in other fees and service charges, net, a $343,000, or 11.2%, increase in net gain on sale of mortgage and Oakmont Commercial loans, a $50,000 increase in the net gain on sale of other real estate owned, and a $36,000, or 6.2%, increase in insurance commissions. These increases were partially offset by a $189,000, or 26.4%, decrease in mortgage banking and title abstract fees. The increase in net loan servicing income reflected the retention of servicing on certain loan sales.

The $1.7 million, or 10.0%, increase in non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 was primarily due to an $897,000, or 75.3% increase in other expense, a $581,000, or 109.4% increase in professional fees, a $436,000, or 3.9%, increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, a $121,000, or 16.7%, increase in SaaS subscription expense, a $68,000, or 17.6%, increase in FDIC deposit insurance assessment, and a $37,000, or 16.3%, increase in advertising expense. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $241,000, or 18.9%, decrease in data processing expense, an $89,000, or 6.6%, decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses, and an $87,000, or 44.4%, decrease in directors’ fees and expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily due to a $227,000 increase in salaries, and a $255,000 increase in bonus expense due to a voluntary reduction in discretionary incentive compensation driven by lower performance results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in professional fees during the nine-month period was primarily attributable to higher legal expenses associated with delinquent loans, collection activity, and related legal proceedings, as well as other consulting and professional services incurred during the period. The increase in SaaS subscription expense reflects the phased implementation and expanded utilization of third-party software solutions supporting compliance, risk management, and operational infrastructure, partially offset by reductions in traditional data processing costs. The decrease in directors’ fees and expenses reflects a one-time adjustment resulting from a reassessment of the director fee accrual as of September 30, 2026. Other expenses, net increased primarily due to SBA lending-related items, including a $368,000 write-down of the SBA servicing asset due to a valuation adjustment and the write-off of $199,000 of certain deferred SBA loan origination costs associated with SBA loan sales completed during the period.

The provision for income tax increased $406,000, or 167.8%, from $242,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $648,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 due primarily to an increase in pre-tax income.

Comparison of Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets at September 30, 2026 were $634.1 million, a decrease of $41.8 million, or 6.2%, from $675.9 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a $39.7 million, or 7.3%, decrease in loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, and a $5.0 million, or 8.2%, decrease in loans held for sale, partially offset by a $4.4 million, or 8.2%, increase in cash and cash equivalents. The largest decreases within the loan portfolio occurred in commercial business loans, which decreased $20.4 million, or 21.2%, commercial real estate loans, which decreased $18.1 million, or 5.8%, multi-family residential loans, which decreased $5.3 million, or 12.9%, one-to-four family non-owner occupied loans, which decreased $3.7 million, or 12.8%, and home equity loans, which decreased $722,000, or 13.4%.

Loans held for sale decreased $5.0 million, or 8.2%, from $61.0 million at December 31, 2025 to $56.0 million at September 30, 2026 as the Bank’s commercial real estate subsidiary, Oakmont Commercial, LLC, originated $52.0 million of commercial real estate loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and sold $58.1 million of loans in the secondary market during this same period. The Bank’s mortgage banking subsidiary, Quaint Oak Mortgage, LLC, originated $84.4 million of one-to-four family residential loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and sold $80.1 million of loans in the secondary market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Bank originated $18.6 million of SBA loans and sold $20.0 million of SBA loans in the secondary market during the same period.

Total deposits decreased $43.3 million, or 7.3%, to $554.0 million at September 30, 2026 from $597.3 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in deposits was primarily attributable to a decrease of $51.2 million, or 14.4%, in certificates of deposit, and a decrease of $43.7 million, or 41.3%, in interest-bearing checking accounts. These decreases in deposits were partially offset by an increase of $34.4 million, or 52.3%, in non-interest-bearing checking accounts, an increase of $16.7 million, or 23.7%, in money market accounts, and a $478,000, or 68.4%, increase in savings accounts. Both retail and non-retail interest-bearing checking account balances decreased at September 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting increased competition for such deposits.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $1.2 million, or 2.4%, to $53.6 million at September 30, 2026 from $52.3 million at December 31, 2025. Contributing to the increase was net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $1.3 million, amortization of stock awards and options under the Company’s stock compensation plans of $223,000, issuance of treasury stock for exercised stock options of $67,000, and the reissuance of treasury stock under the Bank’s 401(k) Plan of $44,000. The increase in stockholders’ equity was partially offset by dividends paid of $317,000 and purchase of treasury stock of $63,000.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2026 totaled $11.4 million, or 2.27%, of total loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, consisting of $9.9 million of loans on non-accrual status and $1.5 million of accruing loans 90-days or more delinquent.

What were Quaint Oak Bancorp's third-quarter 2026 earnings?

Quaint Oak Bancorp earned $635,000, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, in the quarter ended September 30, 2026. That compares with a net loss of $41,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in 2025.

Why did Quaint Oak Bancorp's professional fees increase in 2026?

Why did Quaint Oak Bancorp's credit-loss provisions decline in the first nine months of 2026?

The nine-month decline primarily reflected a decrease in the specific reserve for loans on which interest is no longer accrued and lower overall loan balances. Credit-loss provisions decreased $663,000, or 50.9%, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
