What they do
Plumas Bancorp is a community bank that makes money by lending locally and collecting fees across Northern California and Nevada.
This is a 19-branch bank with local relationships, not an app with a mascot. If you run a business in its footprint, your lender knows your market, your property, and probably your county. That matters more in small-business lending, where Plumas also has SBA Preferred Lender status serving seven western states.

The products that matter
commercial and ag lending
Commercial & Agricultural Loans
$1.1B loan book exposure
this is the core asset base behind the franchise, and management projected just 2% loan growth for the second half of 2025. steady is fine. rapid growth is not the story.

deposit gathering and branch banking
Personal & Business Banking
19 branches
the branch network funds the lending book. that matters because 78.2% of revenue comes from spread income, so deposit stability feeds straight into profitability.

supporting a 19-branch footprint
this keeps customers functional across a small footprint, but nothing in the snapshot says it changes the economics on its own. useful, yes. differentiated, no.

Quarterly EPS ran from $1.06 to $1.31 across 2024, then the last reported quarter came in at $0.73 by consensus data. Translation: profits are still solid, but the pace is no longer straight up.

the number that mattered
$0.73 matters because earnings power is the entire valuation story when the stock trades at 10.5 times profit.

What could go wrong
the #1 risk is net interest margin compression at a 19-branch bank where 78.2% of revenue still comes from spread income.
high
Net interest margin compression
The 4.91% net interest margin is the main earnings driver. A 50 basis point drop would cut roughly $4.6M from annual net interest income.
roughly 15% profit pressure from that move alone
med
Geographic concentration
All 19 branches sit in northeastern California and northern Nevada. That exposes 100% of the $1.1B loan book to one regional cycle.
local weakness does not stay local when the whole bank is local
med
Limited fee-income cushion
Non-interest income is only $20.0M, or 21.8% of revenue. If spread income weakens, there is not much diversification to absorb the hit.
78.2% of revenue still rises and falls with lending spreads
med
Loan growth ceiling
Management projected just 2% loan growth for the second half of 2025. If that pace holds, earnings need margin stability more than balance-sheet expansion.
slow asset growth makes the margin line even more important
With 78.2% of revenue tied to net interest income, a 50 basis point margin hit would cut roughly $4.6M from annual net interest income and about 15% from profit.

Pay attention to
capital return
$25M share repurchase program
Announced feb 2, 2026. For a $337M company, that's meaningful. It can support per-share earnings, but it does not change the underlying spread business.
earnings calendar
Q1 2026 earnings report
Expected apr 22, 2026. Watch net interest margin against the 4.91% baseline and whether quarterly EPS stays near the recent $1.58 pace.
trend line
full-year EPS drift
Q4 looked better, but full-year EPS still fell to $4.54 from $4.80. You want to know if that was a dip or the start of a lower earnings base.
balance of risk
single-region exposure
All 19 branches and the entire $1.1B loan book sit in one regional economy. If local credit conditions weaken, the whole thesis narrows fast.
Analyst rankings
earnings predictability
90 / 100
the numbers have been consistent. in human-speak, analysts see a bank that usually tells you what it is.
risk rank
2
safer than about 80% of stocks on this measure. that lowers blow-up risk. it does not remove earnings risk.
