First Financial Bancorp: Well-Positioned, Attractive Yield

First Financial Bancorp's Q1 earnings showed a 2.6% revenue increase, but missed estimates by $14.7 million; net income was $51.3 million or $0.54 per share. Despite economic concerns, the bank saw modest loan growth and expects up to 5% loan growth in 2025, driven by leasing and mortgage origination.
