ServisFirst Q2 EPS Soars 40% on Record Loan Growth, Margin Expansion
SFBS sits 27% above its 52-week low of $67.2.
Summary
ServisFirst delivered a standout Q2: diluted EPS of $1.57, up 40% year-over-year, driven by $533 million in loan growth (15% annualized) and a net interest margin that expanded 53 basis points to 3.63%. The efficiency ratio fell below 30%, and book value per share climbed 14.8% to $36.19. Deposits grew 5% year-over-year, and the CET1 ratio strengthened to 11.83%. This follows a strong Q1 but with credit concerns; today's results show accelerating profitability and balance sheet momentum. The record loan pipeline and margin improvement suggest the earnings trajectory is intact.
