Forward Guidance
Looking ahead, IBOC's management has conservatively anticipated continued revenue growth, aiming for a 10-15% increase YoY for the next quarter, contingent on market stability and effective cost management. They have set an ambitious target for net income margin recovery by focusing on improved loan origination and interest income generation while keeping a close watch on economic indicators relevant to lending practices.
