Is RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating RBB Bancorp at current levels.
A sleepy Asian-American community bank trading at 0.77x book with a fixed credit problem and a re-rating runway most generalists won't touch.
Where RBB is headed
RBB Bancorp is the kind of name that gets ignored until the price tells you it shouldn't be. A $405m market cap bank, trading below tangible book, serving a niche (Asian-American small business and CRE lending across LA, Orange County, Ventura, and Honolulu) that most national banks don't bother understanding. The TTM revenue growth print of 61% looks ridiculous for a regional bank, and it is, because it reflects the bounce off a brutal 2024 credit cleanup, not some underlying boom. But that's the point. The base has reset. The non-performers have been worked through. The net interest margin is widening as expensive CD funding rolls off, and the loan book is healing.
