LCNB Corp. upgraded to 'Buy' as profits rise and loan quality improves despite deposit drop

LCNB Corp. has been upgraded to a soft 'Buy' due to improved asset quality and stronger profitability, even though deposits declined slightly. The bank trades below its book value and shows strong credit health with only 0.34% non-performing loans and a 1.34% return on assets. Its net interest margin jumped to 3.99%, boosting net profits to $7.5 million in the latest quarter. While Q3 2026 may see minor revenue and earnings dips, LCNB remains resilient to interest rate changes and benefits from low uninsured deposits, indicating stability ahead.

LCNB Corp. is the subject of this news, with Pluang's Financials-sector market data as context. As of Oct 20, 2026 00:12 WIB, out of 142 priced Financials-sector US stocks tradable on Pluang, 24 rose and 117 fell.
