The company also raised its common quarterly dividend by 3% to US$1.03 per share, supporting its shareholder income focus and Texas branch expansion. While the earnings growth and dividend increase bolster the bull case, the sustainability of this balance against rising funding costs and competition, particularly concerning branch and technology expenses, remains a key consideration for investors.
