Investar Posts $11.7M Third-Quarter Net Income
ISTR sits 27% above its 52-week low of $22.95.
Summary
Investar reported third-quarter net income of $11.7 million, up sharply from the $8.9 million it earned in Q2 2026, when net income available to common shareholders more than doubled on loan and deposit growth from the WFB acquisition. For a bank of this size, the sequential step-up is meaningful and points to continued momentum from that deal. The quarter's EPS was $0.74, with a net interest margin of 3.73%, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.77 beat by $0.01 while revenue of $36.81M missed by $0.64M. The profit rise came on a wider interest margin and lower acquisition costs.
