Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Pioneer Bancorp, Inc. reported net income of $3.5 million, or $0.14 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, down from $6.5 million, or $0.26 per share, a year earlier. Six‑month net income was $8.8 million, or $0.36 per share, versus $12.2 million, or $0.49 per share.
Net interest income grew to $22.9 million for the quarter from $19.6 million, and net interest margin improved to 4.30% from 4.13%, driven by higher yields on interest‑earning assets and loan growth, including loans from the Targeted Lending acquisition. Noninterest income also increased, but noninterest expense rose sharply to $22.2 million from $14.7 million, reflecting higher professional fees, compensation from added staff, and litigation‑related costs, pushing the efficiency ratio to 78.33%.
