Analysis · BFC · Finance
Bank First Corp reported strong financial results for Q2 2026, with net income increasing 46% year-over-year to $24.7 million ($2.21 EPS). This growth was largely driven by the Centre acquisition completed in January 2026, which significantly expanded the company's balance sheet, boosting total assets by 32% to $5.95 billion. Net interest income also saw a substantial increase. A notable positive was the absence of a provision for credit losses in the quarter, reflecting overall stable credit quality. However, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.56% from 0.25% at year-end 2025, attributed to the deterioration of a single customer relationship. The company also actively managed its capital, repurchasing $20.3 million of its common stock during the quarter under a renewed program. The pending acquisition of PSB Holdings, announced in May 2026, is expected to close in Q4 2026 and further expand the company's scale.
