$ISTRPress releaseOct 22, 2026, 5:15 PM ETRead the release

Investar Holding (ISTR) reported Q3 2026 net income available to common shareholders of $11.1 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, up 97% from $5.7 million ($0.54) a year ago and up 24% from $8.9 million in Q2. Core (non-GAAP) diluted EPS was $0.77, net interest margin expanded six basis points to 3.73%, and ROA reached 1.21%, with management crediting the January 2026 Wichita Falls Bancshares acquisition and a remix toward higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans. Credit quality is a watch item: nonperforming loans rose to $21.4 million (0.70% of loans) from $19.4 million (0.63%) last quarter and $7.7 million (0.36%) a year ago, though the allowance stands at 169% of NPLs.
