Winston Score History

The full picture

Plumas Bancorp is a small regional bank holding company based in northeastern California. It operates through its main subsidiary, Plumas Bank, which offers everyday banking services like checking and savings accounts, loans, and mortgages to individuals, small businesses, and agricultural customers in rural communities across northern California and Nevada.

The company makes money primarily from the difference between the interest it charges on loans and the interest it pays on deposits — a model called net interest income. It also earns fees from banking services. Plumas Bank focuses on rural and agricultural markets that larger national banks often overlook, which gives it a loyal local customer base and less direct competition. With a market cap of around $400 million, it is a small community bank, and its main risk is exposure to agricultural lending and rural economies that can be sensitive to drought, commodity prices, and broader interest rate changes.

Strong grower

Plumas Bancorp is growing revenue at 44% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
