Columbia Banking Q2 Earnings Top Estimates on Higher NII & Fee Income
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Columbia Banking beat Q2 earnings estimates, though revenues missed the same. COLB's NII and fee income rose on the larger balance sheet after the Pacific Premier acquisition.Columbia Banking completed acquisition cost synergies as of June 30, 2026 and met its cost-saving target. Columbia Banking System (COLB - Free Report) posted second-quarter 2026 operating earnings of 76 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 73 cents. The figure was unchanged from the prior-year quarter.

Quarterly results reflected higher net interest income (NII) and a rise in non-interest income. Lower provisions were another positive. However, higher non-interest expenses and lower loan and deposit balances were the undermining factors.

Net income (GAAP) was $208 million compared with $152 million in the year-ago quarter.

COLB’s NII & Fee Income RiseTotal revenues came in at $677 million, up 32.5% year over year. The metric, however, missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $688.4 million.

COLB’s NII was $589 million, up 32.1% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase reflected the larger balance sheet following the Pacific Premier acquisition.

The net interest margin expanded 18 basis points year over year to 3.93%. Funding costs were lower than the year-ago quarter, with the cost of interest-bearing deposits declining 56 basis points to 1.96% from 2.52%. The cost of total deposits fell to 1.32% from 1.73%.

Non-interest income was $88 million, up 35.4% from the year-ago level. Service charges on deposits increased 15% to $23 million, while card-based fees rose 21% to $17 million. Financial services and trust revenues increased to $15 million from $6 million. Other income was $19 million, up 58%.

COLB’s Expenses IncreaseColumbia Banking’s non-interest expenses were $375 million, up 34.9% from the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase reflected higher costs across several categories on a larger operating base.

Salaries and employee benefits were $196 million, up 26.5% from $155 million. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased 38.3% to $65 million, while intangible amortization rose 46.2% to $38 million. Merger and restructuring expenses were $9 million compared with $8 million in the year-ago quarter.

Management noted that all organizational changes and cost-related synergies associated with the Pacific Premier acquisition were essentially complete as of June 30, 2026, including the achievement of its previously disclosed cost-savings target.

COLB’s Loans & Deposits Decline SequentiallyAs of June 30, 2026, loans and leases were $47.2 billion, down 1% sequentially. The decline reflected continued expected runoff in below-market-rate transactional loans and lower non-owner-occupied commercial real estate balances because of elevated payoffs and competitive pricing pressure.

Commercial loans, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, increased at an annualized rate of 5% from the prior quarter, partly offsetting contraction in other portfolios.

Total deposits declined 3% sequentially to $52.1 billion. The decrease reflected intentional reductions in brokered deposits and wholesale public deposits.

Columbia Banking’s Credit Quality: Mixed BagCOLB’s provision for credit losses was $27 million, down 10% from $30 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net charge-offs were 0.25% of average loans and leases (annualized), down from 0.31% a year earlier. The allowance for credit losses was $475 million, up 8.2% from $439 million. However, the allowance for credit losses-to-loans and leases ratio declined to 1.01% from 1.17%.

Non-performing assets totaled $273 million, up 51.7% from $180 million, and the non-performing assets-to-total assets ratio increased to 0.42% from 0.35% in the second quarter of 2025.

Columbia Banking’s Capital Ratios ImproveAs of June 30, 2026, the estimated total risk-based capital ratio was 13.4%, up from 13% in the second quarter of 2025. The estimated common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.6%, up from 10.8% in the prior-year quarter.

Book value per common share increased 5.1% year over year to $26.70. Tangible book value per common share rose 4.1% to $19.22.

COLB’s Share Repurchases UpdateIn the reported quarter, Columbia Banking repurchased 6.6 million common shares at an average price of $29.93, returning $199 million to shareholders. The company had $202 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2026.

Our Viewpoint on COLBColumbia Banking’s larger balance sheet following the Pacific Premier acquisition supported solid year-over-year growth in NII and fee income. Lower deposit costs and active management of funding rates aided the net interest margin. The completion of acquisition-related organizational changes and cost synergies should support operating efficiency.

However, the continued runoff of below-market-rate transactional loans, competitive pressure in commercial real estate and intentional reductions in higher-cost deposits are likely to constrain near-term balance-sheet growth. Rising non-performing assets and elevated operating expenses remain concerning.

At present, COLB carries a Zacks Rank 4 (Sell).

Performance of Other BanksFirst Horizon Corporation (FHN - Free Report) posted second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of 54 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents. This compares favorably with earnings of 45 cents in the year-ago quarter.

FHN’s results benefited from higher net interest income and non-interest income, along with a lower provision for credit losses. Higher loan and deposit balances also provided support. However, rising expenses and weaker capital ratios were headwinds. 

F.N.B. Corporation (FNB - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 earnings of 42 cents per share, which matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The bottom line jumped 16.7% year over year.

FNB’s results primarily benefited from higher NII, a rise in non-interest income and lower provisions. Higher average loans and deposits were other positives. However, higher non-interest expenses hurt the results to some extent.

Columbia Banking System Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
4 Dividend Growth Stocks the Trade Tariffs Can’t TouchColumbia Banking System NASDAQ: COLB reported second-quarter earnings per share of $0.73 and operating earnings per share of $0.76, with management saying results reflected continued progress on balance sheet reshaping, expense discipline and shareholder capital returns.

Chairman, CEO and President Clint Stein said the quarter “once again” reflected the company’s core priorities: delivering consistent results, improving long-term profitability through balance sheet changes and returning excess capital to shareholders. He said Columbia continued to emphasize relationship-based growth while resisting pricing and structures it views as unattractive.

Get COLB alerts:

“Columbia does not chase growth for the sake of growth,” Stein said. “We are seeing pricing and structures in the market that we believe are irrational, we will not meet them.”

Loan Balances Decline as Commercial Growth Offsets Some Runoff Co-President Chris Merrywell said new loan origination volume totaled $1.3 billion, in line with the prior quarter. Commercial loan production, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, rose 9% from the previous quarter and 49% from the year-ago quarter. That helped drive a 5% annualized increase in commercial loans.

However, total loans declined to $47.2 billion from $47.7 billion at March 31. Management attributed the decrease to elevated payoffs in non-owner-occupied commercial real estate and continued runoff in transactional loans.

CFO Ivan Seda said the transactional portfolio declined by roughly $270 million during the quarter, while C&I and owner-occupied commercial real estate grew by slightly more than $250 million. He said commercial loans, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, now represent 42% of the loan portfolio.

Co-President Tory Nixon said competition in commercial real estate lending has become “pretty choppy,” with some loans refinancing away from Columbia. He said the company is not changing its underwriting standards or cutting pricing to retain volume, though he added that the bank has seen growth in its real estate pipeline at structures and prices it considers acceptable.

Net Interest Margin Expected to Move Above 4% Columbia reported a second-quarter net interest margin of 3.93%. Seda said the figure included a three-basis-point headwind from one-time credit-related interest reversals. Adjusted for that item, he said margin was essentially flat with the prior quarter.

Seda also pointed to a lower-than-expected yield on investment securities, caused by higher interest rates affecting accounting adjustments tied to expected prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed and related securities. He said that was a four-basis-point headwind in the quarter.

Despite those factors, Seda said the company still expects net interest margin to move “up to and beyond” 4% in the third quarter on a quarterly average basis. He cited continued loan remixing, repricing opportunities and balance sheet optimization as drivers.

On deposits, Merrywell said seasonal tax-related outflows occurred early in the quarter, with balances stabilizing in May and June and beginning to expand seasonally in July. Deposit campaigns have generated new accounts with nearly $1.5 billion in deposits year to date through July, he said.

The company also maintained deposit pricing discipline. Merrywell said the spot cost of interest-bearing deposits declined four basis points from March 31 to 1.94% as of June 30. However, Seda and Merrywell both noted that competition for deposits has intensified, with some competitors again offering rates above 4%.

Fees Beat Guidance; Expenses Come in Below Outlook Non-interest income was $88 million on a GAAP basis and $91 million on an operating basis. Seda said the result was above the company’s guided range of $80 million to $85 million, even after adjusting for a unique $3 million bank-owned life insurance gain. Columbia expects non-interest revenue in the mid-$80 million range for the third quarter.

Management highlighted growth across treasury management, commercial cards, merchant services and wealth management. Nixon said treasury management revenue was up just under 9% year over year, while international banking, commercial card and merchant businesses were each up about 9.5%. He also said commercial card spend topped $100 million in June for the first time, up 14% year over year, and that the combined wealth business had a record-setting second quarter.

Operating non-interest expense was $366 million. Excluding intangible amortization of $38 million, the run rate was $328 million, below guidance. Seda attributed the lower expense level to Pacific Premier-related synergy outperformance, core expense management and timing of strategic reinvestment.

Stein said Columbia exceeded the cost-saving target it set when it announced the Pacific Premier acquisition and was materially below the merger-related deal cost estimate disclosed at the time of the transaction. Seda said the company exceeded its cost synergy target by $5 million. For the third quarter, Columbia expects non-interest expense excluding CDI amortization to be in the $330 million to $335 million range, with a similar range expected for the fourth quarter.

Credit Metrics Stable; Capital Returns Continue Provision expense was $27 million, reflecting loan runoff, credit migration trends and modest changes in economic forecasts used in credit models. Seda said credit metrics remained stable and healthy. The allowance for credit losses covered 1.01% of total loans at quarter-end, or 1.26% when incorporating the credit discount on acquired loans.

Chief Credit Officer Frank Namdar said agriculture remains the main area he is watching, though he noted signs of stabilization. He also said the company is monitoring smaller borrowers, including SBA and small business credits, but those portfolios are “still holding in pretty nicely.”

Columbia returned more than $300 million to shareholders during the quarter through dividends and share repurchases. Seda said the company repurchased 6.6 million common shares, returning approximately $200 million through its buyback program.

The company’s common equity tier 1 ratio was 11.6%, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 13.4% at quarter-end. Seda said Columbia had about $530 million of excess capital above its long-term target ratios as of June 30, with $200 million remaining under its current repurchase authorization. Tangible book value rose 1% during the quarter to $19.22.

Seda said share repurchases are expected to remain in the $150 million to $200 million range for the third quarter, and management plans to discuss future repurchase authorization plans on the next earnings call.

Management Rules Out Whole-Bank M&A During the question-and-answer session, Stein said Columbia has “zero interest” in whole-bank mergers and acquisitions. He said Pacific Premier was the “missing piece” to the franchise the company envisioned, and he emphasized that buying back Columbia’s own stock remains the best investment.

Stein said the company may consider a small bolt-on business at some point if it supports fee income or deposit generation, but said management is not interested in a transaction that would increase the share count.

“Now we’re having fun again,” Stein said. “Our people are having fun. We see the momentum that’s out there. We don’t want to disrupt that.”

Columbia Banking (COLB) Q2 Earnings Top Estimates
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Columbia Banking (COLB - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.76 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.73 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.76 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.11%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this bank holding company would post earnings of $0.68 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.72, delivering a surprise of +5.88%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Columbia Banking, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - West industry, posted revenues of $677 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.66%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $510.91 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Columbia Banking shares have added about 16.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.6%.

What's Next for Columbia Banking?While Columbia Banking has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Columbia Banking was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.78 on $701.22 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.05 on $2.78 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - West is currently in the top 20% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Coastal Financial Corporation (CCB - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.95 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +33.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Coastal Financial Corporation's revenues are expected to be $162.7 million, up 36.2% from the year-ago quarter.

points from the prior quarter, as the interest
income reversals mentioned above reduced the
net interest margin by 3 basis points.

due primarily to higher treasury management
and card-based fees, partially offset by quarterly

the prior quarter.

Organizational Update
Columbia Banking System, Inc. ("Columbia," the "Company," "we," or "our") closed its acquisition of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. ("Pacific Premier") on August 31, 2025, and completed the systems conversion and nine branch consolidations during the first quarter of 2026. All organizational changes and cost-related synergies were essentially complete as of June 30, 2026, including the achievement of our previously disclosed cost savings target associated with the Pacific Premier acquisition.

During the second quarter, we opened a branch in Colorado Springs and a financial hub in Las Vegas. We continue to strategically expand and refine our physical footprint to support relationship-driven growth, while funding these initiatives through targeted real estate optimization and other efficiency improvements.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $589 million for the second quarter of 2026, down $5 million from the first quarter of 2026, due in part to $4 million of interest income reversals, alongside modest balance sheet deleveraging.

Columbia's net interest margin was 3.93% for the second quarter of 2026, down 3 basis points from the first quarter of 2026, as the interest income reversals mentioned above reduced the net interest margin by 3 basis points during the second quarter. Excluding this impact, net interest margin was consistent between periods, as higher yields on loans and leases partially offset a lower yield on taxable securities, driven by changes in prepayment speed expectations. Improved funding costs also contributed favorably to the net interest margin.

The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 8 basis points from the prior quarter to 1.96% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.04% for the first quarter of 2026. The decrease during the second quarter reflects our active management of deposit rates and a lower mix of higher-cost brokered deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.95% for the month of June and 1.94% as of June 30, 2026.

Columbia's cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3 basis points from the prior quarter to 2.21% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.24% for the first quarter of 2026. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.22% for the month of June and 2.21% as of June 30, 2026. Refer to the Q2 2026 Earnings Presentation for additional net interest margin change details and interest rate sensitivity information.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was $88 million for the second quarter of 2026, up $5 million from the prior quarter. Quarterly changes in fair value adjustments and mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") hedging activity, which reflect interest rate fluctuations during the quarter, collectively resulted in a net fair value loss of $3 million for the second quarter, compared to a net fair value gain of $2 million for the first quarter, as detailed in our non-GAAP disclosures. Excluding these items, non-interest income was $91 million2 for the second quarter of 2026, up $10 million between periods, due primarily to higher treasury management and card-based fees. We also received $3 million in death benefit proceeds during the second quarter related to a single policy, which was recorded in other income.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $375 million for the second quarter of 2026, down $19 million from the prior quarter, due to lower merger expense. Excluding merger and restructuring expense and exit and disposal costs, as detailed in our non-GAAP disclosures, non-interest expense was $366 million2, down $3 million from the prior quarter, due to cost savings related to the Pacific Premier acquisition. Refer to the Q2 2026 Earnings Presentation for additional expense details.

Balance Sheet
Total consolidated assets were $65.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $66.0 billion as of March 31, 2026. The decrease reflects balance sheet optimization activity. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. Including secured off-balance sheet lines of credit, total available liquidity was $25.6 billion as of June 30, 2026, representing 39% of total assets, 49% of total deposits, and 125% of uninsured deposits. Available-for-sale securities, which are held on balance sheet at fair value, were $11.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $10.9 billion as of March 31, 2026. The increase is due to the purchase of $462 million of investment securities, which offset paydowns and a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio. Refer to the Q2 2026 Earnings Presentation for additional details related to our investment securities portfolio and liquidity position.

Gross loans and leases were $47.2 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $47.7 billion as of March 31, 2026. The decrease reflects continued expected runoff in below-market-rate transactional loans and lower balances in non-owner occupied commercial real estate given elevated payoffs, due in part to competitive pricing pressure. Commercial loans, inclusive of owner-occupied commercial real estate, increased by 5% on an annualized basis relative to March 31, 2026, partially offsetting contraction in other portfolios. "Our bankers remained focused on relationship-driven activity during the second quarter, generating new business opportunities while continuing to manage the balance sheet with discipline," commented Tory Nixon, President of Columbia Bank. "Commercial relationship growth remained solid, and the continued runoff of lower-return transactional loans is reshaping our balance sheet as intended. Customer engagement remains healthy, and we remain encouraged by the quality of our pipelines and the opportunities we see across our western footprint." Refer to the Q2 2026 Earnings Presentation for additional details related to our loan portfolio, which include underwriting characteristics, the composition of our commercial portfolios, and disclosure related to transactional loans.

Total deposits were $52.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $53.5 billion as of March 31, 2026. The decrease reflects intentional reductions in brokered deposits and wholesale public deposits, which declined to $978 million and $928 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. Customer deposit contraction in April due to seasonal tax payments also contributed to the decline between periods. "Seasonal factors reduced deposit balances early in the quarter, with balances stabilizing in May and June despite increasing competition," stated Mr. Nixon. "Our teams continue to emphasize relationship banking, serving our customers through advice-driven conversations and tailored solutions, while preserving the strength of our core deposit franchise. Meeting the evolving needs of our customers remains at the center of the value we provide." We utilized borrowings, which were $4.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $3.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, to supplement funding needs. Refer to the Q2 2026 Earnings Presentation for additional details related to deposit characteristics and flows.

Credit Quality
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $475 million, or 1.01% of loans and leases, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $478 million, or 1.00% of loans and leases, as of March 31, 2026. The provision for credit losses was $27 million for the second quarter of 2026 and reflects loan portfolio runoff, credit migration trends, charge-off activity, and changes in the economic forecasts used in credit models.

Net charge-offs were 0.25% of average loans and leases (annualized) for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 0.30% for the first quarter of 2026. Net charge-offs in the FinPac portfolio were $15 million for the second quarter, compared to $14 million for the first quarter. Net charge-offs excluding the FinPac portfolio were $15 million for the second quarter, compared to $21 million for the first quarter. Non-performing assets were $273 million, or 0.42% of total assets, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $264 million, or 0.40% of total assets, as of March 31, 2026. Refer to the Q2 2026 Earnings Presentation for additional details related to the allowance for credit losses and other credit trends.

Capital
Columbia's book value per common share was $26.70 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $26.47 as of March 31, 2026. During the second quarter, Columbia repurchased 6.6 million common shares under its current repurchase plan at an average price of $29.93, representing 2.3% of outstanding common shares. Book value also was impacted by the change in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") to $(310) million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $(291) million as of the prior quarter-end. The change in AOCI is due primarily to an increase in the tax-effected net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities to $275 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $260 million as of March 31, 2026. Tangible book value per common share3 was $19.22 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $19.03 as of March 31, 2026.

Columbia's estimated total risk-based capital ratio was 13.4% and its estimated common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.6% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 13.5% and 11.7%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. Columbia remains above current "well-capitalized" regulatory minimums. The regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2026 are estimates, pending completion and filing of Columbia's regulatory reports.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends, and our financial position. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and operating pre-provision net revenue and operating return on tangible common equity are also used as part of our incentive compensation program for our executive officers. We, as well as securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. We believe that our presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitution for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Exploring Analyst Estimates for Columbia Banking (COLB) Q2 Earnings, Beyond Revenue and EPS
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Analysts on Wall Street project that Columbia Banking (COLB - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its forthcoming report, representing a decline of 4% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $688.41 million, increasing 34.7% from the same quarter last year.

The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This reflects how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reevaluated their initial estimates during this timeframe.

Prior to a company's earnings announcement, it is crucial to consider revisions to earnings estimates. This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While investors usually depend on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to assess the business performance for the quarter, delving into analysts' forecasts for certain key metrics often provides a more comprehensive understanding.

That said, let's delve into the average estimates of some Columbia Banking metrics that Wall Street analysts commonly model and monitor.

The consensus among analysts is that 'Average Balance - Total interest-earning assets' will reach $60.69 billion. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported $47.87 billion in the same quarter last year.

The combined assessment of analysts suggests that 'Efficiency Ratio' will likely reach 52.8%. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 54.3% in the same quarter last year.

The consensus estimate for 'Net Interest Margin' stands at 4.0%. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 3.8% in the same quarter last year.

Analysts' assessment points toward 'Total non-performing loans and leases' reaching $267.74 million. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported $177.43 million in the same quarter of the previous year.

It is projected by analysts that the 'Total non-performing assets' will reach $270.77 million. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $180.25 million.

Analysts expect 'Net Interest Income' to come in at $603.86 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $446.45 million.

Analysts predict that the 'Total noninterest income' will reach $83.68 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $64.46 million.

The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Service charges on deposits' of $20.35 million. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $19.67 million.

Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Net interest income (FTE)' should arrive at $605.01 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $447.55 million.

The average prediction of analysts places 'Financial services and trust revenue' at $15.11 million. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported $5.84 million in the same quarter last year.

Analysts Estimate Columbia Banking (COLB) to Report a Decline in Earnings: What to Look Out for
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Columbia Banking (COLB - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -4%.

Revenues are expected to be $688.41 million, up 34.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.88% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Columbia Banking?For Columbia Banking, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.10%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Columbia Banking will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Columbia Banking would post earnings of $0.68 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.72, delivering a surprise of +5.88%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Columbia Banking doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsPreferred Bank (PFBC - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Banks - West industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $2.65 for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +5.2%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $73.73 million, up 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Preferred Bank has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.08%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Preferred Bank will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Columbia Bank and ForgiveCo Partner to Erase $5 Million in Medical Debt for Southern California Veterans

Bank launches veteran medical debt relief initiative in celebration of America's 250th anniversary

, /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Bank, a subsidiary of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (Nasdaq: COLB), today announced its partnership with public benefit corporation ForgiveCo to eliminate $5 million in medical debt for veterans and their families. The initiative headlines Columbia Bank's commemoration this summer of America's 250th anniversary across its western footprint.

In partnership with ForgiveCo, Columbia Bank will eliminate medical debt for over 2,000 veterans and their families across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Those earning up to 80% of area median income with qualifying debt currently in collections will be randomly selected and notified by ForgiveCo, with no application required.

In addition to medical debt relief, recipients will have access to complimentary services that include counseling, guidance and educational resources to support long-term financial stability.

"Few priorities are more important than ensuring veterans and their families have access to economic opportunity," said Clint Stein, CEO of Columbia Bank. "As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we are proud to support those who have served our country and to help strengthen their financial futures."

Medical debt remains a significant barrier to financial well-being, often limiting access to credit, housing and employment opportunities. Since 2021, ForgiveCo has erased millions of dollars in debt nationwide by purchasing large portfolios of delinquent medical debt at a fraction of the original value and partnering with organizations to fund relief efforts.

"Medical debt can create lasting financial challenges for veterans, particularly during major life transitions such as returning to civilian life," said Craig Antico, CEO of ForgiveCo. "Many of the individuals we reach are carrying debts in collections that negatively impact their credit and limit their opportunities. Eliminating even a single debt can make a profound difference."

Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary

From June 1 through July 31, Columbia Bank is commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States through a series of initiatives designed to support active-duty service members, veterans and organizations that serve them, including:

Medical Debt Relief
Columbia Bank is partnering with ForgiveCo to eliminate $5 million in medical debt for active-duty service members, veterans and their families. $100,000 in Nonprofit Grants
Through a series of activities, Columbia Bank customers and associates will select four nonprofits supporting active-duty service members and veterans to receive $25,000 grants each. NASCAR Active-Duty and Veteran-Owned Business VIP Experience
In partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing and the Navy SEAL Foundation, Columbia Bank recently hosted a VIP experience for veteran and active-duty business owners from across its footprint. For more information, visit ColumbiaBank.com/Veterans.

2026 COLUMBIA BANK BUSINESS BAROMETER: U.S. Small and Midsize Businesses Poised for Growth, Waiting to Make Significant Moves
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Rising expectations for increased productivity, profitability and growth opportunities
tempered by near-term uncertainty and volatility

12-month outlook: 63% will prioritize investments over cost-cutting 6-month pause: 59% will monitor conditions for now before major decisions Comprehensive nationwide study surveyed nearly 1,200 businesses on their economic outlook, growth and hiring plans, AI impacts, tariff implications and fraud concerns

, /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Bank today released the findings from its 2026 Business Barometer, an annual study examining the outlook, priorities and decision-making of nearly 1,200 small and middle market enterprises across the United States.

This year's results point to growing confidence among business leaders that efficiency and productivity gains over the next 12 months will translate to increased profitability and greater opportunities to invest in technology, expansion and hiring between now and the middle of 2027.

2026 COLUMBIA BANK BUSINESS BAROMETER: U.S. Small and Midsize Businesses Poised for Growth, Waiting to Make Significant Moves. Fueled by a notable year-over-year improvement in the outlook of smaller enterprises, a record number of both small and middle market businesses say they are prioritizing making investments over cutting costs. However, their optimism remains measured. While businesses are confident in their 12-month outlook, 3 in 5 indicate they plan to delay major decisions for at least six months as they monitor current pressures from tariffs, inflation and rising energy costs.

"This year's study indicates that small and middle market businesses are approaching the next 12 months with relative confidence and an appetite for growth, which bodes well for the broader economy," said Tory Nixon, President of Columbia Bank. "At the same time, near-term volatility and current headwinds are real. Business leaders are ready to invest but are timing those decisions carefully."

Notable findings from Columbia Bank's 2026 Business Barometer include the following:

Advances in AI Capabilities Are Shaping Expectations for Future Growth
The survey and focus groups conducted as part of this year's study indicate that recent advances in AI capabilities are in part driving the positive 12-month outlook, even as businesses navigate economic uncertainty and cashflow constraints.

Over the next 12 months, most businesses believe AI advances will:

Increase (significantly/somewhat) productivity (96%) Increase employee satisfaction and retention (92%) Create the need for more skilled or specialized roles (89%) Deliver efficiencies so employees can focus on higher-level tasks and will increase headcount as business grows (63%) Strengthen their business overall (59%) AI is now the top investment priority and spiked significantly as a concern for both small and middle market businesses, indicating more enterprises see its fast-emerging capabilities as critical to remain competitive. One in 10 businesses believes AI advances pose a threat to their viability.

12-Month Outlook: Businesses of All Sizes Prioritize Investments over Cost-Cutting
This year's survey indicates strong and almost equal appetite from both small and middle market businesses to invest in strategic priorities that promote efficiency, growth and strengthen their competitive edge. Notwithstanding potential delays on significant investment decisions, the numbers below represent the strongest 12-month investment trajectory since the study began in 2019.

Businesses eye strong performance over the next 12 months:

72% anticipate increased demand 67% anticipate increased revenue 59% anticipate increased profitability As a result, many are also preparing to invest in their business:

89% are likely (very/somewhat) to invest in digitizing new areas 70% are likely to borrow to invest in expansion 62% are likely to increase real estate footprint 51% anticipate increasing the number of employees 36% are likely to acquire another business Cybersecurity and Fraud Threats Prove Costly, Drive Investment Priorities
More businesses are stepping up efforts to protect their operations as fraud risks evolve and exposures increase with scale. From sophisticated cyberattacks to routine check fraud, businesses are paying the price. In the past 12 months, 7 in 10 have experienced financial loss from fraud, with fake vendor scams and phishing attacks cited as the most common schemes.

43% of small businesses report losses between $5,000 and $100,000, including 23% with losses exceeding $10,000 22% of middle market companies report losses in excess of $50,000 Cybersecurity ranks as a top three investment priority, and businesses of all sizes are planning to invest in related fraud safeguards.

44% will upgrade payment or authentication technology 42% will work with their bank to implement fraud protection solutions, such as positive pay, payee positive pay and ACH positive pay 41% will implement stricter vendor verification processes "While cybersecurity and fraud prevention are investment priorities for businesses, our research indicates that half or fewer have implemented many of the most common fraud prevention tools such as stronger authentication safeguards and eliminating physical checks from their payment processes," said Kathryn Albright, Head of Global Payments and Deposits at Columbia Bank. "As companies prepare to invest in growth, it's imperative they also invest in protecting their operations, strengthening payment systems and enhancing their ability to manage increasingly complex fraud risks."

The Biggest Tariff Impact: Implementation Volatility, Not Price Tag
While negative tariff impacts skew towards middle market companies with larger operations, input from leaders in both segments indicates that the unpredictability of tariff implementation has been more challenging than direct tariff costs. Delays, exemptions and shifting percentage amounts have made planning difficult. To manage actual tariff-related costs, businesses have employed numerous strategies. Small businesses are more likely than the middle market to pass increases on to customers, while middle market companies are more likely to cover costs with loans or lines of credit and to delay investments and hiring decisions.

67% of small businesses say tariffs either had no impact (36%) or benefited (31%) them 48% of middle market companies say tariffs have been harmful 85% of businesses expect tariff volatility to remain a significant factor for at least one year, while 40% say three or more years 74% of all businesses that have paid tariffs will seek a refund To download Columbia Bank's 2026 Business Barometer, visit: columbiabank.com/business-barometer

Survey Methodology
The Columbia Bank 2026 Business Barometer, conducted annually, surveyed 1,186 owners, executives and financial decision-makers from U.S. small and middle market businesses. The online survey was conducted in partnership with DHM Research, a public policy and business research firm, and targeted leaders at companies with $500,000 to $500 million in annual revenue. The survey, which did not filter for Columbia Bank customers, has a 2.7% margin of error and was fielded from April 28 to May 7, 2026.

Is Columbia Banking Attractive Now With Dividend Yield and Buybacks?
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Columbia Banking raised its dividend 2.8% to 37 cents per share in November 2025, offering a 5% yield.COLB authorized $700M in buybacks, with plans to repurchase $150M-$200M quarterly in 2026.Columbia Banking trades at 9.35X forward P/E, below industry, amid expense and credit pressures. Columbia Banking System (COLB - Free Report) has leaned into shareholder returns while it works through the Pacific Premier integration. The story for income investors is a mix of a higher dividend, a sizable repurchase authorization, and capital ratios that sit above management’s long-term targets.

At the same time, near-term expense pressure and uneven credit costs remain part of the setup. That puts more weight on payout durability, buyback pacing, and what valuation is really offering today.

COLB’s Dividend Level and the Recent IncreaseIn November 2025, Columbia Banking increased its quarterly dividend 2.8% to 37 cents per share, signaling confidence in capital generation even with integration work still underway. 

In the past five years, COLB has increased its dividends three time. It has five year annualized dividend growth rate of 6.51% with a payout ratio of 48%. Currently, COLB carries a dividend yield of 5%, well above several industry peers.  For context, East West Bancorp (EWBC - Free Report) and WaFd, Inc. (WAFD - Free Report) both carry meaningfully lower dividend yields in that same comparison set.  East West Bancorp has dividend yield of 2.7% while WaFd has a dividend yield of 3.1%.

Columbia Banking System, Inc. Dividend Yield (TTM)

Columbia Banking’s Capital Ratios and Repurchase PlanCOLB capital levels improved meaningfully over the past year. As of Dec. 31, 2025, the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio rose to 11.8%, while the total risk-based capital ratio increased to 13.6%. 

Columbia Banking’s board authorized up to $700 million in share repurchases through Nov. 30, 2026. That is a large pool of potential demand for the stock, and it pairs naturally with the dividend for total shareholder yield.

Activity already showed up in fourth-quarter 2025. The company repurchased 3.7 million common shares at an average price of $27.07. Management expects to raise the pace in 2026 to $150-$200 million per quarter, with $600 million remaining under the current authorization.

Columbia Banking’s Earnings Power Behind Payout SupportCapital returns ultimately depend on operating performance, and fourth-quarter 2025 results provided support. Operating earnings were 82 per share, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

Revenue drivers were constructive. Net interest income rose 43% year over year to $627 million, while non-interest income increased to $90 million, helped by stronger service charges and higher financial services and trust revenue. Net interest margin expanded to 4.06% as funding costs declined. 

Looking forward, management’s posture is explicitly defensive on margin as rates drift down. The bank expects deposit betas for cuts around half and anticipates net interest margin to trend higher through 2026, with the margin ultimately surpassing 4% again in the second or third quarter of 2026. That earnings stability is a key pillar behind the dividend and the planned buyback ramp.

Columbia Banking’s Valuation & Price Performance AnalysisOn forward earnings, Columbia Banking trades at 9.35X forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E). That is below the industry at 10.47X. Its peers, East West Bancorp and WaFd trades at P/E multiple of 11.28X and 11.27X.

Price-to-Earnings F12M

Over the past year, shares of Columbia Banking have gained 34.3%, outperforming the industry’s rally of 31.3%.

Price Performance

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Decision Framework for COLB Income InvestorsA practical way to frame COLB is as a dividend-and-capital-return story with execution risk. Start with the yield and payout cadence: the quarterly dividend is 37 cents per share, and the company has shown willingness to raise it while continuing regular declarations. 

Next, weigh buyback capacity against the timeline for expense normalization. The repurchase authorization runs through Nov. 30, 2026, with $600 million still available and an intended step-up in 2026 pacing. The offset is that operating expenses are expected to remain elevated near term, with a more normalized run rate targeted by the third quarter of 2026.

Finally, match the setup to your style. COLB has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and Style Scores of Value B, Growth D, and Momentum C. A dividend-oriented investor may appreciate the Value tilt and capital return levers, while also monitoring credit trends and competitive deposit pressures. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Columbia Banking (COLB) Tops Q1 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
COLB Columbia Banking System
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Columbia Banking (COLB - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.72 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.68 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.67 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +5.88%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this bank holding company would post earnings of $0.72 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.82, delivering a surprise of +13.89%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Columbia Banking, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - West industry, posted revenues of $677 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.44%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $491.37 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Columbia Banking shares have added about 3.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%.

What's Next for Columbia Banking?While Columbia Banking has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Columbia Banking was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.74 on $685.36 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.06 on $2.77 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - West is currently in the top 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Bank of Marin (BMRC - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on April 27.

This bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.57 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +90%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.6% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

Bank of Marin's revenues are expected to be $34.25 million, up 23.1% from the year-ago quarter.
