First Busey Posts 63c Adjusted EPS for Third Quarter
BUSE sits 36% above its 52-week low of $22.12.
Summary
First Busey reported third-quarter EPS of 61c and net income of $55.8M, a fresh quarterly result with no prior news line in the recent timeline covering it. The stock is trading near its 52-week high of $31.70, so the print lands with expectations already elevated. For reference, the company posted $0.69 adjusted EPS in Q2 2026, meaning this quarter's figure is lower sequentially. The bank has been an active buyer of its own shares, expanding its repurchase program by 4 million shares in May and executing roughly $66 million of buybacks in Q1, which supports per-share results. The headline carries no revenue, margin, or credit-quality detail, so the quality of the beat versus the sequential step-down is not yet clear.
