The bank’s focus on expanding its lending platform, especially with experienced hires in California, was cited as a reason for optimism, yet investors appeared concerned about rising provisioning needs and the modest pace of loan growth relative to targets.

The electronics portfolio also contributed to segment growth, highlighted by the launch of SimonsVoss’s batteryless electronic cylinder.
