Merchants Bancorp Q3 Net Income Jumps 92% to $105.2M, EPS $2.06
MBIN sits 62% above its 52-week low of $30.37.
Summary
Merchants Bancorp posted Q3 2026 net income of $105.2 million, or $2.06 diluted EPS, up 92% from $54.7 million a year ago and 34% from Q2's $78.3 million. The beat was driven by noninterest income surging 88% to $80.8 million, including a $28.2 million positive servicing-rights fair value adjustment and a $19.1 million floor derivative gain — both rate-driven marks that flattered the quarter. Efficiency ratio improved to 35.35% from 45.16% a year ago. Credit trends were mixed: nonperforming loans fell 12% to $180.3 million and charge-offs dropped to $3.9 million from $16.5 million in Q2, but criticized loans rose 3% to $460.1 million on substandard migration. Tangible book value hit a record $41.64 per share, up 15% YoY. The company also closed its $13.9 million acquisition of The Loan Exchange on September 14, which management flagged as potentially dilutive during ramp-up.
