Earnings are expected to increase by 14.23% annually, enhancing future dividend potential. Recently, First Community announced a stock buyback program valued at US$7.1 million, effective until May 2025, signaling confidence in its financial health despite a recent dip in quarterly earnings and net income from US$3.46 million to US$2.6 million as reported on April 17, 2024.
