SB Financial Q3 EPS $0.63 as Net Income Slips to $3.9M
SBFG sits 66% above its 52-week low of $18.16.
Summary
SB Financial posted Q3 EPS of $0.63 on operating revenue of $18.075 million, up 9% on loan growth, with net income of $3.946 million and net interest income of $13.424 million. The credit picture was clean: provision for credit losses was just $127 thousand. The sequential comparison is the story — Q2 diluted EPS was $0.72 on net income of $4.5 million, so both earnings and net income stepped down quarter over quarter. For a bank this size, a nine-cent EPS decline is a meaningful move in the earnings base, and the market will want to know whether margin pressure or lower fee income drove it. No specific forward guidance or next reporting date was disclosed in the release.
