Shares rose 14 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $5.48. Shares have traded between $2.17 and $20.22 in the past 12 months.

Following an investor meeting with the San Francisco-based bank, D.A. Davidson analyst Chris Stulpin said he believes the bank is on track to return to delivering above-average earnings in the next 12 to 18 months.

Management still expects second-half loan loss provisions to be less than in the first half, Stulpin said, and the level of incoming problem loans remains consistent with second-quarter levels.

Stulpin maintained a $7 price target on the stock.

UCBH is the bank holding company for United Commercial Bank, which operates branches throughout California and in Atlanta, Boston, Houston, New York, Seattle, and China.
