Third Quarter & 2024 Year-to-Date Highlights |

Balance Sheet, Capital Ratios, and Stock Price comparisons are to December 31, 2023 |

- Noninterest Expense increased $1,857,000, or 9%, due primarily to higher Core Operating System expenses and Salaries and Employee Benefits.
Balance Sheet
- Cash and Cash Equivalents increased $18.4 million, or 21%.
- Loans increased $37.5 million, or 6%.

- Total Assets decreased less than 1% due to a decline in Deposits.
- Deposits decreased 1%; however, Deposit Accounts have grown 3.5%.

Net Income and Profitability
Net income generated during the third quarter of 2024 represents a $71,000, or 3%, decrease as compared to the same time period of 2023, net of $638,000 in BOLI proceeds, while net income generated for the nine months of 2024 represents a $468,000, or 7%, decrease as compared to the prior year, net of BOLI proceeds. The decrease in net income for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 was driven by higher provision for loan losses and noninterest expense, partially offset by higher net interest income and noninterest income, net of BOLI proceeds.
Profitability as measured by the Company’s return on average assets (“ROA”) decreased to 0.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 1.02% for the same time period of 2023.

The Company generated $8,941,000 in net interest income for the third quarter of 2024, which represents a $707,000, or 8.5%, increase as compared to $8,234,000 for the third quarter of 2023. Interest income increased $1,615,000, or 15%, due to higher yields on earning assets and increased loan volume, while interest expense increased $908,000, or 38%, due to higher interest rates paid on deposits and increased certificates of deposit volume.
The Company generated $26,169,000 in net interest income through nine months of 2024, which represents a $1,368,000, or 5.5%, increase as compared to $24,801,000 for the same time period of 2023.

Through nine months of 2024, the provision for credit losses was $396,000 as compared to $66,000 for the same time period of 2023.

ACL coverage of non-performing loans was 502% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 290% as of year-end 2023. Management views the allowance balance as being sufficient to offset potential future losses in the loan portfolio.

Noninterest income through nine months of 2024 increased $229,000, or 4.6%, to $5,198,000 as compared to $4,969,000 for the same time period in 2023, net of BOLI proceeds.

Meow! Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Leapfrogged By Cat Coins Gaining: It's 'Cat Season Once Again,' Says Trader
Cat-themed cryptocurrencies Popcat POPCAT/USD and cat in a dogs world MEW/USD have emerged as top gainers in the overall crypto market.
What Happened: According to Coingecko, cat coins are nearing a $5 billion market cap, with a 7.7% gain in the last 24 hours. Popcat flipped Bonk BONK/USD to become the second-largest meme coin on the Solana SOL/USD network, trailing only Dogwifhat WIF/USD.
Mew reached a significant milestone, crossing the $1 billion valuation—an impressive feat for a Solana-based meme coin.
Meme coin favorites like Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD have lagged, unable to match the recent gains of these cat coins.
Cryptocurrency | Price | Market cap | 24-hour trend | 7-day trend |
Dogecoin DOGE/USD | $0.1399 | $20.5B | +2.9% | +15.2% |
Shiba Inu SHIB/USD | $0.00001781 | $10.5B | +2.7% | +0.7% |
Popcat POPCAT/USD | $1.59 | $1.56B | +12.2% | +22% |
cat in a dogs world MEW/USD | $0.1116 | $992M | +23.4% | +35.7% |
Also Read: Trader Shares 3-Point Strategy To Win With Meme Coins—Here’s Where Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Come In
Trader Notes: Popular trader Altcoin Sherpa highlighted on X (formerly Twitter) that “cat season” is back, with Popcat leading the charge and Mew showing strong potential. He emphasized that outside of AI-related memes, the most promising sector right now is cat-themed tokens.
Another trader, Bluntz, predicts a major breakout for Popcat, pointing to its resilience during market pullbacks and a bullish 1-2 setup pattern. He suggests that assets demonstrating strength during market declines tend to outperform in bullish markets
Meanwhile, Crypto General noted that MEW has been on a steady uptrend since its launch, recently breaking its all-time high. He expects a parabolic move in the coming days, potentially driving the price to $0.045.
Crypto trader Curbo even compared MEW to Shiba Inu, hinting that it could be the next big meme coin of this cycle.

Lam Research Positioned For Growth Amid NAND Recovery And Advanced Packaging Strength, Analysts Highlight China Risks
BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated the Buy rating on Lam Research LRCX, raising the price forecast to $92 from $88.
Arya expresses confidence in Lam Research’s leverage to key tech trends, its strong exposure to a NAND recovery, and solid free cash flow generation.
However, the analyst notes that while China is expected to normalize to 30% of the mix in December, ongoing risks from export controls remain, and gains in gross and operating margins appear limited.
The analyst raises the earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026 by 4% and 7%, respectively.
The analyst writes that the company’s unique portfolio will help it outperform its competitors in 2025, despite concerns about ASML Holding N.V outlook.
Also Read: ASML Stock Plunges Further On Lower 2025 Sales Outlook: Analysts Break Down Semiconductor Challenges
Arya notes that recent high shipments of lithography tools to China might lead to a bigger correction there, but Lam Research is less affected by this due to its strengths in advanced technologies like NAND and packaging.
Overall, Lam Research has several growth opportunities in 2025, even with potential challenges in China and delays from Intel and Samsung.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari reiterated the Buy rating on Lam Research, lowering the price forecast to $96 from $102.50).
The analyst highlights that advancements in NAND, leading-edge foundry/logic, and DRAM will increase demand for etching and deposition, helping Lam gain market share in wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) in 2025 and beyond.
The analyst notes that while ASML lowered its 2025 revenue guidance due to weak demand in leading-edge foundry and potential declines in Chinese spending, Lam Research maintained its forecast of a mid-$90 billion WFE market for 2024.
In fact, Lam Research expects WFE spending to grow in 2025, driven by changes in NAND technology and ongoing strength in DRAM, HBM, and leading-edge foundry sectors, the analyst adds.
Hari notes, Advanced Packaging, essential for AI technology, will boost Lam Research’s performance.
Additionally, in the Systems business, China’s share of total revenue decreased to 37% in the September quarter from 42% in the March quarter and 39% in the June quarter.
Per Hari, the market will perceive the guided decline in China contribution positively, given the tendency for the market to pay a below-average multiple for revenue streams generated in China.
According to Hari, the market is likely to view the expected decline in China’s contribution positively, as it typically assigns a “below-average” multiple to revenue generated in China.
Price Action: LRCX shares are trading higher by 4.87% to $76.41 at last check Thursday.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Axon Enterprise
In the current session, the stock is trading at $443.51, after a 0.19% increase. Over the past month, Axon Enterprise Inc. AXON stock increased by 12.78%, and in the past year, by 120.92%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.
Axon Enterprise P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company’s EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company’s current performance against it’s past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future.
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 81.81 in the Aerospace & Defense industry, Axon Enterprise Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 116.8. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Axon Enterprise Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It’s also possible that the stock is overvalued.
In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company’s market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company’s financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Earnings
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. PWOD
Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. achieved net income of $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.86.
Highlights
- Net income, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively, compared to $2.2 million and $11.1 million for the same periods of 2023. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023 were impacted by an increase in net interest income of $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as the cost of funds has stabilized. The disposal of assets related to two former branch properties resulted in a one time after-tax loss of $261,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024.
- The allowance for credit losses was impacted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 by a provision for credit losses of $740,000 and a negative provision of $299,000, respectively, compared to provisions for credit losses of $1.4 million and $263,000 for the 2023 periods. The recognition of a negative provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is due primarily to recoveries during the second quarter of 2024 on a commercial loan. In addition, a minimal level of loan charge-offs of $312,000 contributed to the recognition of the negative provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
- Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $0.64 and $1.86, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 and $1.56 basic and $1.53 diluted for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023.
- Annualized return on average assets was 0.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 0.41% for the corresponding period of 2023. Annualized return on average assets was 0.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 0.70% for the corresponding period of 2023.
- Annualized return on average equity was 9.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 5.06% for the corresponding period of 2023. Annualized return on average equity was 9.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 8.58% for the corresponding period of 2023.
Net Income
Net income from core operations (“core earnings”), which is a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding net securities gains or losses, was $4.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.3 million and $11.2 million for the same periods of 2023. Basic and diluted core earnings per share (non-GAAP) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $0.63 and $1.86, respectively, while basic and diluted core earnings per share for the three month period of 2023 were $0.32 and for the nine month period of 2023 were $1.58 basic and $1.55 diluted. Annualized core return on average assets and core return on average equity (non-GAAP) were 0.85% and 9.54%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 0.42% and 5.20% for the corresponding period of 2023. Annualized core return on average assets and core return on average equity (non-GAAP) were 0.84% and 9.75%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 0.71% and 8.67% for the corresponding period of 2023. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of core earnings, core return on assets, core return on equity, core earnings per share and tangible book value per share to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.
Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 2.88% and 2.79% respectively, compared to 2.65% and 2.82% for the corresponding periods of 2023. The increase in the net interest margin for the three month period was driven by an increase in the rate paid on interest-earning assets of 64 basis points (“bps”), while the decrease in the net interest margin for the nine month period was driven by a 96 bps increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The overall increase in interest rates over the periods resulted in increases to both the yield on the earnings asset portfolio and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. Driving the increase in the yield and interest income on the earning assets portfolio was the repricing of legacy assets coupled with portfolio growth. The average loan portfolio balance increased $76.0 million and $127.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023 as the average yield on the portfolio increased 65 bps and 72 bps, resulting in an increase in taxable equivalent interest income of $3.9 million and $14.5 million, for the periods. The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 were impacted by an increase of 55 bps and 70 bps in the yield earned on the securities portfolio as legacy securities matured with the funds reinvested at higher rates, which resulted in an increase in taxable equivalent interest income of $343,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. Short-term borrowings decreased in volume, which offset the impact of an increase in rate paid, resulting in a decrease of $1.5 million and $2.1 million in expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 76 bps and 116 bps, respectively, or $3.1 million and $11.8 million in expense, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding periods of 2023 due to the rate environment, an increase in competition for deposits, and a migration of deposit balances from core deposits to higher rate time deposits. The rates paid on time deposits significantly contributed to the increase in funding costs as rates paid for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023 increased 70 bps and 114 bps, respectively, or $2.2 million and $8.2 million in expense, as deposit gathering campaigns continued to focus on time deposits with a maturity of five months. In addition, brokered deposits have been utilized to assist with funding the loan portfolio growth and contributed to the increase in time deposit funding costs, while lowering the reliance on higher cost short-term borrowings.
Assets
Total assets increased to $2.3 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $82.8 million compared to September 30, 2023. Net loans increased $58.0 million to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023, as continued emphasis was placed on commercial loan growth and indirect auto lending. The investment portfolio increased $8.8 million from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024. Investment debt securities increased $12.8 million from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024 as fixed rate instruments with maturities of approximately ten years were added to the portfolio to lock in yields.
Non-performing Loans
The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans ratio increased to 0.42% at September 30, 2024 from 0.20% at September 30, 2023, as non-performing loans increased to $7.9 million at September 30, 2024 from $3.7 million at September 30, 2023. The majority of non-performing loans involve loans that are either in a secured position and have sureties with a strong underlying financial position or have been classified as individually evaluated loans that have a specific allocation recorded within the allowance for credit losses. Net loan charge offs of $328,000 and $312,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, impacted the allowance for credit losses, which was 0.62% of total loans at September 30, 2024 compared to 0.71% at September 30, 2023. Exposure to non-owner occupied office space is minimal at $13.9 million at September 30, 2024 with none of these loans being delinquent.
Deposits
Deposits increased $133.1 million to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $18.6 million to $452.9 million at September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023. Core deposits declined $6.6 million as deposits migrated from core deposit accounts into time deposits as market rates and competition for deposits increased. Core deposit gathering efforts remained focused on increasing the utilization of electronic (internet and mobile) deposit banking by our customers. Core deposits have remained stable at $1.2 billion over the past five quarters. Interest-bearing deposits increased $151.6 million from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024 due to growth in the time deposit portfolio of $78.7 million as customers sought a higher rate of interest. Brokered deposit balances increased $61.0 million to $167.7 million at September 30, 2024 as this funding source was utilized to supplement funding loan portfolio growth, while reducing the need to draw upon available borrowing lines. A campaign to attract time deposits with a maturity of five to twenty-four months commenced during the latter part of 2022 and has continued throughout 2023 and 2024 with current efforts centered on five months.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity increased $29.2 million to $203.7 million at September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023 due in part to a registered at-the-market offering that generated $7.5 million in capital during the fourth quarter of 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 there were no shares issued as part of the registered at-the-market offering. A total of 9,074 and 31,050 shares for net proceeds of $205,000 and $632,000 were issued as part of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30 2024. Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $5.3 million at September 30, 2024 decreased from a loss of $14.9 million at September 30, 2023 as a result of a decrease in net unrealized loss on available for sale securities to $2.6 million at September 30, 2024 from a net unrealized loss of $10.9 million at September 30, 2023, coupled with a decrease in loss of $1.3 million in the defined benefit plan obligation. The current level of shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $26.96 at September 30, 2024 compared to $24.55 at September 30, 2023, and an equity to asset ratio of 9.02% at September 30, 2024 and 8.02% at September 30, 2023. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $24.77 at September 30, 2024 compared to $22.20 at September 30, 2023. Dividends declared for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.32 and $0.96 per share.

NOTE: This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the company’s performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of special items, including significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature such as net securities gains and losses. Because these certain items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
This press release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” including statements concerning plans, objectives, future events or performance and assumptions and other statements, which are statements other than statements of historical fact. The Company cautions readers that the following important factors, among others, may have affected and could in the future affect actual results and could cause actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company herein: (i) the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including federal and state banking laws and regulations, and the associated costs of compliance with such laws and regulations either currently or in the future as applicable; (ii) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or of changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; (iii) the effect on the Company’s competitive position within its market area of the increasing consolidation within the banking and financial services industries, including the increased competition from larger regional and out-of-state banking organizations as well as non-bank providers of various financial services; (iv) the effect of changes in interest rates; (v) the effects of health emergencies, including the spread of infectious diseases or pandemics; or (vi) the effect of changes in the business cycle and downturns in the local, regional or national economies.
