What the filing says
Investar reported Q3 2026 net income available to common shareholders of $11.1M ($0.74 diluted EPS), up 24.4% from Q2 2026 ($8.9M, $0.61 EPS) and 96.9% YoY. The improvement reflects integration of Wichita Falls Bancshares (acquired Jan 1, 2026, adding $962M loans and $1.02B deposits), plus balance sheet optimization: NIM expanded 6bp to 3.73%, variable-rate loans increased to 51% of portfolio, business lending grew 3.1% to $1.25B. On Oct 1, 2026, Investar purchased $65M in C&I revolving lines of credit at variable rates. Share repurchases totaled 25,113 shares at $29.44/share during Q3. Tier 1 leverage capital rose to 10.92%. Total assets reached $3.87B.
Why this rating
Solid post-acquisition earnings growth and NIM expansion are encouraging for a $177M market-cap bank, but growth is largely from $962M WFB acquisition (already closed Jan 2026), not organic. Portfolio remix strategy and Q3 EPS growth meaningful but not transformational relative to company size.
