“Second quarter of 2025 saw a lower provision for credit losses as a result of an improvement in the performance of the CCBX portfolio and our focus on originating higher quality CCBX loans resulting in lower historical loss factors. Noninterest expenses were fairly flat compared to last quarter related to continued onboarding and implementation costs for partnerships and products within CCBX and investments in technology. We believe these investments are important to the long-term success and scalability of the Company,” stated CEO Eric Sprink.

Company Overview

Pioneering the intersection of traditional banking and financial technology in the Pacific Northwest, Coastal Financial (NASDAQ: CCB) operates as a bank holding company that provides traditional banking services and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions to consumers and businesses.

Sales Growth

In general, banks make money from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest earned on loans, mortgages, and investments in securities minus interest paid out on deposits. The second source is non-interest income, which can come from bank account, credit card, wealth management, investing banking, and trading fees.

Thankfully, Coastal Financial’s 54.4% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was incredible. Its growth surpassed the average bank company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a great starting point for our analysis.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Coastal Financial’s annualized revenue growth of 20.4% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand.

This quarter, Coastal Financial missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 11.7% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $119.4 million of revenue.

Net interest income made up 63.6% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are Coastal Financial’s largest source of revenue.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)

The balance sheet drives banking profitability since earnings flow from the spread between borrowing and lending rates. As such, valuations for these companies concentrate on capital strength and sustainable equity accumulation potential.

When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules.

Coastal Financial’s TBVPS grew at an incredible 22.7% annual clip over the last five years. The last two years show a similar trajectory as TBVPS grew by 22.2% annually from $20.50 to $30.59 per share.

Coastal Financial Quarterly Tangible Book Value per Share

Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Coastal Financial’s TBVPS to grow by 16.7% to $35.70, elite growth rate.

Key Takeaways from Coastal Financial’s Q2 Results

We struggled to find many positives in these results as it fell short of Wall Street’s estimates across the board. Overall, this quarter could have been better. The stock traded down 4.1% to $97.30 immediately following the results.

Coastal Financial may have had a tough quarter, but does that actually create an opportunity to invest right now? We think that the latest quarter is only one piece of the longer-term business quality puzzle. Quality, when combined with valuation, can help determine if the stock is a buy.
