Hilltop Q2 EPS $0.63, Boosts Buyback by $75M, Raises Dividend 10%
HTH sits 30% above its 52-week low of $29.2.
Summary
Hilltop Holdings reported Q2 2026 net income of $36.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, up from $0.57 a year ago. The board raised the quarterly dividend 10% to $0.22 per share and increased the stock repurchase authorization by $75 million to $200 million, with $106 million remaining. The bank segment showed strength with NIM expansion and loan growth, while the mortgage unit posted a small loss amid higher rates. This follows a proxy fight by controlling shareholder Gerald J. Ford, adding pressure on management to deliver shareholder returns. The buyback boost and dividend hike signal confidence in capital levels despite economic uncertainty.
