Popular, Inc. delivered robust third-quarter results with net income of $211 million and EPS of $3.15, supported by high loan growth and stable deposit balances despite challenges in credit quality from two specific loans.
- Net interest income rose to $647 million, influenced by higher deposit balances and disciplined pricing.
- Loan growth reached $502 million, driven primarily by commercial and construction lending across both banks.
