National Bank Holdings delivered solid Q2 results with adjusted EPS of $0.78, beating the prior quarter's $0.72, driven by record loan fundings and disciplined expense management. However, net interest margin compressed 12 basis points sequentially to 3.94%, reflecting the challenging rate environment.
