Q3 EPS of $0.91 Beats $0.93 Consensus on Adjusted $1.04
PEBO sits 32% above its 52-week low of $27.73.
Summary
Peoples Bancorp reported Q3 2026 diluted EPS of $0.91, or $1.04 adjusted, ahead of the $0.93 consensus, with a wider 4.3% net interest margin and net income of $32.6 million. Net interest income came in at $93.8 million, with a provision for credit losses of $3.6 million. That follows Q2 net income of $28.0 million, which was already driven by margin expansion and lower credit costs, so the core lending trend is holding up. The beat lands three weeks after the company agreed to acquire Capital Bancorp for roughly $728.1 million in stock, a deal that will roughly double the franchise into a ~$14 billion institution — clean earnings support the capital and integration story behind that transaction. Watch the merger timeline with Capital Bancorp and any update on the Citizens National approvals already secured in late September.
