The net interest margin will likely continue to expand as certificates of deposits mature. The outlook on residential loans isn't as bright as before. I'm expecting total loan growth to slow down this year. I'm raising my EPS estimate for 2025 to $2.71 as I've increased my margin estimate following the last half-year's surprise.
