Company Overview
Ranking as the fifth most active Small Business Administration lender in the country, Byline Bancorp (NYSE:BY) is a Chicago-based bank that provides banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, commercial real estate developers, and consumers.
Sales Growth
Net interest income and and fee-based revenue are the two pillars supporting bank earnings. The former captures profit from the gap between lending rates and deposit costs, while the latter encompasses charges for banking services, credit products, wealth management, and trading activities.
Luckily, Byline Bancorp's revenue grew at an impressive 9.3% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth beat the average bank company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point for our analysis.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Byline Bancorp's annualized revenue growth of 9.5% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was predictably strong.
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, Byline Bancorp reported year-on-year revenue growth of 11.2%, and its $110.5 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street's estimates by 3.3%.
Net interest income made up 81.8% of the company's total revenue during the last five years, meaning Byline Bancorp barely relies on non-interest income to drive its overall growth.
While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income.
Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)
Banks operate as balance sheet businesses, with profits generated through borrowing and lending activities. Valuations reflect this reality, emphasizing balance sheet strength and long-term book value compounding ability.
Because of this, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) emerges as the critical performance benchmark. By excluding intangible assets with uncertain liquidation values, this metric captures real, liquid net worth per share. Other (and more commonly known) per-share metrics like EPS can sometimes be murky due to M&A or accounting rules allowing for loan losses to be spread out.
Byline Bancorp's TBVPS grew at a solid 6.9% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has also accelerated recently, growing by 11.2% annually over the last two years from $17.43 to $21.56 per share.
Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Byline Bancorp's TBVPS to grow by 10.6% to $23.85, solid growth rate.
Key Takeaways from Byline Bancorp's Q2 Results
We enjoyed seeing Byline Bancorp beat analysts' net interest income expectations this quarter. We were also glad its revenue outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a good print with some key areas of upside. The stock remained flat at $27.10 immediately after reporting.
Is Byline Bancorp an attractive investment opportunity right now? The latest quarter does matter, but not nearly as much as longer-term fundamentals and valuation, when deciding if the stock is a buy. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.

Former CNBC analyst James Arthur McDonald Jr., who betrayed investors, sentenced in multimillion-dollar fraud scheme
A former television financial analyst accused of defrauding investors out of millions of dollars and spending years on the run was sentenced to five years in prison, the Justice Department said Monday. James Arthur McDonald Jr., 53, is also expected to be ordered to pay restitution to his victims following his April 7 guilty plea for securities fraud. 'To his victims, [McDonald] seemed to embody the American Dream,' prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum. 'But looks can be deceiving, and as [McDonald's] victims learned, their trust had been betrayed.' McDonald, who frequently appeared as a guest on CNBC as a financial analyst, was arrested in June 2024 at his Florida home after spending years on the run and extradited back to California, where he was the CEO and chief investment officer of Los Angeles-based Hercules Investments LLC, and Index Strategy Advisors Inc. 3 James Arthur McDonald Jr. is expected to be ordered to pay restitution to his victims following his April 7 guilty plea for securities fraud. CNBC Prior to fleeing, McDonald also appeared to have terminated his previous phone and email accounts and told one person that he planned to 'vanish,' according to court documents. In 2020, McDonald 'lost tens of millions of dollars of Hercules client money after adopting a risky short position that effectively bet against the health of the United States economy in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election,' prosecutors said. He misrepresented how the funds would be used and failed to disclose the 'massive losses' Hercules previously sustained. 3 Prior to fleeing, McDonald terminated his previous phone and email accounts and told one person that he planned to 'vanish'. FBI 'He misappropriated most of those funds in various ways, including spending $174,610 at a Porsche dealership and transferring $109,512 to the landlord of a home McDonald was renting in Arcadia,' the Justice Department said. In total, McDonald lost around $3 million of his clients' money, prosecutors said. With his other company, McDonald allegedly sent clients 'false account statements, including for one client who invested approximately $351,000, later needed the money to make a down payment on a home, was informed by McDonald that much of the money had been lost, and never got his full investment back.' 3 In total, McDonald lost around $3 million of his clients' money, prosecutors said. Hercules Investments In total, the US Securities and Exchange Commission said McDonald 'raised more than $5.1 million from 23 investors and clients, and misappropriated more than $2.9 million of those funds for personal expenses and Ponzi-like payments to earlier investors.' A federal arrest warrant was issued for McDonald in 2022 after he was charged with securities fraud. Fox News Digital's Greg Norman contributed to this report.

Warby Parker locations now open in Targets
Target has opened Warby Parker kiosks in Bloomington, Minnesota, and the Chicago suburbs, launching the Minneapolis-based retailer's latest brand partnership. The boutique-style space in Bloomington quietly began serving customers last week, holding a grand opening Saturday complete with blue balloons and giveaways. Even so, the new setup drew a steady stream of curious Target customers on Saturday looking for an eye exam or a fresh pair of frames. "Our goal has always been to make eyewear and eye care as accessible and convenient as possible," said Sandy Gilsenan, chief retail and customer experience officer at Warby Parker. "From the beginning, Target's customer-first mindset made them a natural partner for us." Target is known for brand partnerships, from limited ones like Lilly Pulitzer to permanent deals such as CVS pharmacy and Hearth and Home by Joanna Gaines of HGTV fame. Warby Parker and Target announced the partnership in February. Three other shop-in-shops will open in select Targets toward the end of the summer, with more expected in 2026. In the weeks before the launch, passersby could catch glimpses of Warby Parker's signature blue peeking out from behind branded paper covering the storefront. The eyewear company now has seven locations in Minnesota. The addition of Warby Parker at Target marks a second location in Bloomington. Similar to Target's owned brands, Warby Parker frames are focused on affordability and designer-quality alternatives. The Target shops are staffed and stocked by the eyewear company. Target acts more as a landlord, similar to its arrangement with CVS and Target Optical. Each store will offer Warby Parker's full assortment of eyewear and optical services, including glasses, sunglasses, contacts, eye exams and vision tests. Target Optical, operated by EssilorLuxottica since 2004, carries popular brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. The Warby Parker locations will not have Target Optical hubs, which can be found at more than 500 stores. Some analysts, who have perceived a lack of consistent newness in Target's inventory, say the Warby Parker partnership makes sense. "(The partnership) shows some good thinking on the part of Target. However, a lot more of this is needed to move the dial," said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail. "Newness also needs to extend to the core products and brands as this is where some staleness has crept in." At the end of the day, eyewear is not a core product at Target, he said. The company has pledged to bring more newness to product assortment as part of its growth strategy, driven largely by partnerships with other companies. "There's so much newness across discretionary, like our new Pillowfort collections, featuring Disney and Marvel ... or the exciting Warby Parker partnership," Rick Gomez, chief commercial officer at Target, said in a March earnings call. In April, Target rolled out a limited-time collection with Kate Spade, followed more recently by a collaboration with Champion to bring in activewear and sporting goods for adults and kids.
