Kish Bancorp Lifts Q3 2026 Net Income to $6.4 Million, EPS at $2.11

what happened

Kish Bancorp, Inc. released unaudited results for the third quarter of 2026, showing net income of $6.4 million, or $2.11 per share. That compares with $5.3 million ($1.77 per share) in the second quarter and $5.2 million ($1.72 per share) a year earlier. The figures come from the company's press release, distributed by GlobeNewswire.

The net interest margin widened to 3.59% from 3.46% in the prior quarter. Return on average equity (ROAE) was 17.00% and return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.20%. Deposits reached $1.56 billion, up 12.3% from a year earlier, while the cost of deposits fell to 2.20%.

Nonperforming loans dropped 90% to $1.0 million after one nonaccrual loan was resolved. The allowance for credit losses stood at 0.70% of loans, and the bank booked a provision of $644 thousand.

why it matters

The results point to a stronger earnings trend driven by a wider margin and better credit quality, both relevant when assessing regional bank profitability. Higher deposits and lower deposit costs during the same quarter show that funding and margins moved in the same direction, though the figures themselves offer no forecast for future periods or share prices.
