Pacific Premier Bancorp's (PPBI) stock price has rallied since the 3QFY19 result announcement that showed an increase in earnings. Going forward, I expect earnings to decline mostly due to a reduction in net interest margin. Normalization of non-interest income after a spike in the third quarter of 2019 is also expected to result in earnings decline. On the other hand, slight recovery in loans is expected to partly offset the adverse impact of a reduction in margin and normalization of non-interest income.
