Kish Bancorp Q3 Profit Jumps 23% as Margin Expands, Credit Improves
KISB has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $31.3 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Kish Bancorp reported Q3 2026 net income of $6.4M, or $2.11 per share, up from $5.3M ($1.77) in Q2 and $5.2M ($1.72) a year ago. Net interest margin expanded to 3.59% from 3.46% in Q2, and returns were strong at 17.00% ROAE and 1.20% ROAA. Credit quality improved sharply, with nonperformers down 90% to $1.0M after a single nonaccrual was resolved, while the allowance held at 0.70% of loans on a $644K provision. Deposits grew 12.3% year over year to $1.56B and deposit costs dipped to 2.20%, supporting the margin. For a small OTC-traded bank, the combination of margin expansion, double-digit deposit growth and cleaner credit is a meaningful re-rating driver and supports dividend capacity.
