Analysis · RRBI · Finance
Red River Bancshares posted solid Q2 results, with net interest margin expanding 10 basis points to 3.61% and nonperforming assets falling sharply to just 0.08% of assets. While net income dipped slightly from a record Q1 due to expected expense normalization, it rose 15.4% year-over-year. The balance sheet remains well-positioned for a 'higher for longer' rate environment, and management guided for slightly higher NII and NIM in the second half of 2026. Two new directors joined the board, and the company completed key market expansion projects. Trading near its 52-week high, the stock reflects strong execution and credit quality.
