ServisFirst Bancshares posts Q3 2026 earnings with modest loan growth, 2‑for‑1 split and $2 M share buyback

ServisFirst Bancshares reported third‑quarter net income of $87.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, missing consensus EPS of $0.83. Net interest income was $159.8 million and the net interest margin held at 3.63%. Loans rose to $14.7 billion, a 10% annualized increase year‑over‑year, while non‑interest‑bearing deposits grew 12% YoY. The bank completed a 2‑for‑1 stock split and announced a repurchase plan for 2 million shares, with tangible book value per share up 14.4% to $18.51.

The EPS miss may pressure the share price, while the split and buyback could affect share‑count and liquidity. The company’s capital strength, highlighted by stockholders’ equity above $2 billion and a tangible book value increase, supports its growth initiatives.
