Community West Bancshares stock was trading at USD 25.42 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, down 1.24 percent from the prior session. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the bank reported diluted earnings per share of USD 0.10, compared with USD 0.41 a year earlier, according to OTC Markets.
Q2 earnings fell sharply
Community West Bancshares posted net income of USD 2.695 million in Q2 2026, down from USD 7.832 million in Q2 2025. That represents a 65.6 percent decline, while diluted EPS fell 75.6 percent over the same comparison.
The result was also below the USD 11.489 million net income reported for Q1 2026. The sequential change puts the second-quarter earnings figure at the center of the bank's current investor profile.
Merger expanded the balance sheet
The company completed its merger with United Security Bancshares on April 1, 2026, with Community West Bancshares remaining the surviving entity, according to OTC Markets. The transaction gives the Q2 figures an important scale reference.
Total assets reached USD 5.034 billion on June 30, 2026, compared with USD 3.703 billion on March 31, 2026, an increase of 35.9 percent. Deposits rose from USD 3.142 billion to USD 4.119 billion over the same period, while net loans increased from USD 2.521 billion to USD 3.494 billion.
Stock remains below yearly high
At USD 25.42 on September 23, 2026, the stock stood below its 52-week high of USD 28.17 and above its 52-week low of USD 19.79. The market capitalization was USD 535.2 million on the same date.
Community West Bancshares also declared a quarterly cash dividend of USD 0.12 per share for Q2 2026, according to OTC Markets. For investors, the contrast is clear: merger-driven balance-sheet growth arrived alongside a weaker reported profit quarter.
