Business
Cathay General Bancorp Cathay General Bancorp is the holding company for Cathay Bank, a California state-chartered commercial bank founded in 1962 and headquartered at 777 North Broadway in Los Angeles, California. Cathay Bank provides a comprehensive range of retail and commercial banking products and services to individuals, professionals, and small- to medium-sized businesses, including commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, United States Small Business Administration loans, residential mortgage loans, real estate construction loans, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans for household and consumer expenditures; business deposit products such as checking and savings accounts, lines of credit, merchant services, payment processing, treasury management, international banking and financing; personal banking solutions encompassing checking, savings, home mortgages, online and mobile banking, credit cards, and wealth management; as well as foreign exchange and other customary banking services. The bank operates over 60 branches across nine U.S. states—California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Texas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, and New Jersey—a full-service branch in Hong Kong, and representative offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Taipei, primarily serving diverse commercial, professional, and immigrant communities with a focus on real estate finance, commercial and industrial lending, and residential mortgages. In June 2025, Cathay General Bancorp announced a new stock repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $150 million of its common stock, reflecting confidence in its financial position amid strong third-quarter 2025 results that included net income of $77.7 million and a net interest margin expansion to 3.31%. The company maintains robust asset quality with an allowance for credit losses at approximately 0.79% of gross loans and continues to prioritize capital returns through a quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share. Total assets stand at around $23 billion, with loans of $19.4 billion—51% commercial real estate, 31% residential mortgages, 16% commercial and industrial, and 2% construction—and deposits of $19.8 billion as of mid-2025.
