QCR Holdings Posts $2.21 Adjusted EPS for Third Quarter
QCRH sits 46% above its 52-week low of $68.052.
Summary
QCR Holdings reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.21, up from $2.19 diluted EPS in Q2 2026 — a modest sequential gain that keeps the company on the growth path it showed earlier this year, when Q2 EPS rose 28% year over year. The Q2 print was driven by net interest income growth and a surge in capital markets revenue, and this quarter's figure suggests that momentum held. For a bank of this size, a two-cent sequential increase is steady rather than dramatic, but it confirms the earnings trend rather than breaking it. The company raised its quarterly dividend 50% to $0.15 in August, and continued EPS growth supports that payout. Full Q3 detail — net interest margin, capital markets revenue, credit metrics, and buyback activity — will matter more than the headline EPS number.
