On Aug 7, 2009 First Financial Bancorp (FFBC) reported its second-quarter net income was $1.5 million, net income available to common shareholders was $0.5 million and earnings per common share were $0.01. Five analysts expected FFBC to report earnings of $0.07 per share for the quarter. So this is a huge miss, yet the stock has only moved from $8.65 to $8.20. Today, at the time of this posting the stock is trading even at $8.25.

For the second quarter of 2008, the company reported net income of $7.8 million, net income available to common shareholders of $7.8 million and earnings per common share of $0.21.

Net interest income for the quarter rose to $31.2 million from $28.4 million in the prior year period. Second-quarter total non-interest income increased 2.5% to $14.1 million from $13.7 million in the year-ago period. Analysts estimated revenues of $43.5 million for the quarter.

First Financial in big trouble,looks like they need a bailout. With only $2 billion in deposits won't be long until they are solvent. I wonder if they will drive or fly to Washington ?
