MetroCity Bankshares posts Q3 2026 net income of $24.3 million and EPS of $0.84

MetroCity Bankshares reported third‑quarter 2026 net income of $24.3 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, up 9.8% from the prior quarter and 40.7% year‑over‑year. Net interest margin slipped to 4.07% from 4.11% in Q2, while the efficiency ratio rose to 41.81%. The company attributed the earnings growth to the First IC acquisition, higher interest income and lower tax expense, offset by higher non‑interest costs.

The company said the results reflect integration benefits from the First IC acquisition and stronger interest income, which may support higher earnings expectations going forward (). However, the slight QoQ margin decline signals pressure on profitability that investors will monitor.
