The company maintains a diversified business model centered on traditional net interest income generation combined with fee-based revenue streams, positioning it competitively within the regional banking sector.

What this transaction means for investorsThere are many reasons an insider may sell shares, from the need to pay a large personal expense to an unstated belief that the share price will decline long-term.
There is only one reason an insider buys stock: they believe the share price is going to rise.
By that rule of thumb, McCabe’s purchase of $1 million worth of Pinnacle Financial Partners stock is bullish. Studies show that insider buying more often than not predicts that the share price will be higher in 30 days from the transaction.
Business-wise, Pinnacle reported a good second quarter of its fiscal 2026 the day before McCabe’s purchase, with revenue of more than $1.2 billion and net income of $313 million, better than analysts’ consensus. Bank management believes that its focus on relationship banking insulates it from having to compete on price (that is, the interest rate it pays on deposits) in the highly competitive Southeast U.S. banking market. The company also believes it can steadily increase returns to shareholders by consistently growing deposits and loans faster than its expenses rise.
As the chairman and founder of Pinnacle, McCabe knows the business inside and out. That he is buying is a tangible vote of faith in the business. Bolstered by strong financial results, investors may want to consider the news a potential reason to buy.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $PNFP--Pinnacle Financial Partners (NYSE: PNFP) added 74 experienced revenue-producing team members during the second quarter of 2026, bringing its year-to-date total to 124 against a goal of 225-250 for the year. This success is another milestone as the firm continues to execute its long-standing growth strategy following its merger with Synovus Financial Corp. in January. These new team members average approximately 20 years of financial services experience and are nearly e.
Pinnacle Financial Partners NYSE: PNFP reported stronger second-quarter 2026 earnings and balance sheet growth, with management saying the bank remains on track with its full-year financial outlook while continuing to integrate its recent combination.
President and CEO Kevin Blair said the company reported diluted earnings per share of $2.07 and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.50, excluding $82 million of pre-tax adjusted items. Year-to-date adjusted EPS rose 26% from the same period last year, according to Blair.

“This quarter is another proof point of that focus,” Blair said, pointing to growth in loans, deposits, fee income, credit performance and hiring. He said the company is maintaining its 2026 guidance, with year-to-date performance giving management “added conviction” in its outlook.
Loan Growth Exceeds Expectations, Deposits Rise Despite Seasonal Headwinds Pinnacle said loans increased $2.9 billion from the prior quarter, ahead of management’s expectations. Chief Financial Officer Jamie Gregory said period-end loans grew 14% annualized from the first quarter, with most of the growth coming from commercial and industrial lending. He described the growth as broad-based across geographic markets and supported by specialty lending platforms.
Deposits increased $795 million from the first quarter. Gregory said the quarter included typical seasonal headwinds from tax payments and public fund outflows, which tend to reverse in the second half of the year. Excluding the decline in public funds, core deposits grew $963 million, or 1%, in the quarter.
Blair said loan growth is tracking at the top end of the company’s full-year 9% to 11% guidance range, while deposit growth is tracking near the middle of its 8% to 10% range.
During the question-and-answer session, Gregory said the company expects strong deposit growth in the second half, helped by seasonal factors that could contribute $1.5 billion to $2 billion. He also said deposit production has exceeded $1 billion every month this year.
Net Interest Income Rises as Margin Compresses Net interest income was $956 million, up 2% from the first quarter, or 10% annualized, Gregory said. The increase reflected growth in earning assets, which rose 4% from the prior quarter.
Net interest margin was 3.44%, down 9 basis points from the first quarter, or roughly 6 basis points excluding non-recurring items in the prior period. Gregory cited a modest decline in loan yields, lower SOFR rates during the quarter and higher-cost funding tied to seasonal deposit trends as headwinds.
Pinnacle now expects full-year net interest margin in a range of 3.44% to 3.47%, while Blair said the company continues to expect revenue within its previous outlook and now sees full-year revenue trending toward $5.05 billion to $5.1 billion.
In response to analyst questions about margin pressure, Gregory said management still expects high single-digit net interest income growth over time, supported by loan growth and limited incremental expense tied to that growth. Blair added that the company is not seeing a “NIM that’s in free fall,” but rather one that is moderating while still supporting revenue growth.
Fee Income Mixed, Core Client Businesses Grow Adjusted non-interest revenue declined $12 million from the first quarter, largely due to lower income from BHG. Gregory said income from the company’s equity method investment in BHG totaled $24 million in the second quarter, in line with expectations as BHG shifts its loan placement strategy.
Gregory said core client income streams remained strong, with core banking, wealth management and capital markets all producing linked-quarter and year-over-year growth. Core banking and capital markets fees each increased 3% from the first quarter.
Asked about fee income expectations for the second half of the year, Gregory said the company expects continued growth across the board, with larger quarter-to-quarter increases likely from core banking fees and wealth management. He also said capital markets has “very strong momentum.”
Blair said the company remains on track to recognize about $20 million of revenue synergies in 2026, with roughly half achieved through June. He said most of the year-to-date revenue synergies have come from capital markets, including syndication capabilities, foreign exchange, hedging and equipment finance.
Credit Quality Remains Stable, Capital Builds Management characterized credit quality as a strength. Net charge-offs were $48 million, or 22 basis points, consistent with expectations. The non-performing asset ratio improved to 0.50% from 0.58% in the first quarter.
The allowance for credit losses ended the quarter at 1.17%, compared with 1.19% at the end of March. Blair said the reserve on new production is coming in lower than the overall portfolio, reflecting the mix of new assets rather than a shift toward lower standards.
Pinnacle’s preliminary common equity Tier 1 ratio rose 12 basis points from the first quarter to 9.93%. Gregory said the company’s priority is to deploy capital into “high return, client-driven growth” while moving toward a CET1 target of 10.25%.
Asked whether the company still expects to reach that target by year-end, Gregory said it depends on the pace of loan growth in the second half. He said Pinnacle generates about 30 basis points of capital each quarter before risk-weighted asset growth, with loan growth consuming a portion of that amount.
Hiring Momentum Continues During Integration Blair highlighted continued hiring as a key part of Pinnacle’s growth model. The company added 74 experienced revenue producers during the quarter, up 48% from the first quarter and up 14% from the combined firm’s second quarter of 2025. Blair said another 34 producers had already started or accepted offers in the first half of July.
Year-to-date, Pinnacle has added 124 producers, approximately half from what management considers core Synovus markets. Blair said retention, excluding merger-related synergies, was 94% year-to-date.
Blair said the competitive environment continues to favor Pinnacle, citing larger competitors’ bureaucracy and slower decision-making. He also referenced Coalition Greenwich data that placed Pinnacle first among peers in business momentum, measured by the net percentage of clients planning to do more business with the bank versus less.
“Strategy is a plan. Execution is a result,” Blair said. “We are six months in, and the results are doing the talking.”
For the remainder of 2026, Pinnacle expects adjusted expenses in the middle of its $2.675 billion to $2.775 billion guidance range. Blair said expenses are expected to increase from the first half due to revenue producer hiring, market expansion, third-party partnership revenue expenses and normal inflationary and growth-related costs.
Blair closed the call by saying the company is executing on the plan it laid out at the time of the combination. “We have real runway ahead, and it involves taking share one quarter, one client, and one banker at a time,” he said.

What's Next for Pinnacle Financial?While Pinnacle Financial 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 Pinnacle Financial 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 $2.63 on $1.27 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $10.18 on $5.01 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 - Southeast is currently in the top 32% 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, Customers Bancorp (CUBI - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 23.
This bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.00 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +11.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.6% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Customers Bancorp's revenues are expected to be $229.77 million, up 11.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Getting big returns from financial portfolios, whether through stocks, bonds, ETFs, other securities, or a combination of all, is an investor's dream. But when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.
Based in Atlanta, Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) is in the Finance sector, and so far this year, shares have seen a price change of 1.45%. The regional bank operator is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.50 per share, with a dividend yield of 2.07%. This compares to the Banks - Southeast industry's yield of 1.93% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.35%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $2.00 is up 108.3% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Pinnacle Financial has increased its dividend 3 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 7.56%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Pinnacle Financial's current payout ratio is 22%, meaning it paid out 22% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
Earnings growth looks solid for PNFP for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $10.18 per share, which represents a year-over-year growth rate of 21.62%.
From greatly improving stock investing profits and reducing overall portfolio risk to providing tax advantages, investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.
High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors must be conscious of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, PNFP is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 22. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis regional bank operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.46 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +23%.
Revenues are expected to be $1.23 billion, up 142.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.3% 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 an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
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. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
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 Pinnacle Financial?For Pinnacle Financial, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.14%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Pinnacle Financial will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. 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 Pinnacle Financial would post earnings of $2.3 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.39, delivering a surprise of +3.91%.
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.
Pinnacle Financial appears 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.

All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. But when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns.
Based in Atlanta, Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) is in the Finance sector, and so far this year, shares have seen a price change of 4.29%. The regional bank operator is paying out a dividend of $0.50 per share at the moment, with a dividend yield of 2.01% compared to the Banks - Southeast industry's yield of 1.94% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.38%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $2.00 is up 108.3% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Pinnacle Financial has increased its dividend 3 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 7.56%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Pinnacle Financial's current payout ratio is 22%, meaning it paid out 22% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
Earnings growth looks solid for PNFP for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $10.23 per share, with earnings expected to increase 22.22% from the year ago period.
Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. It's important to keep in mind that not all companies provide a quarterly payout.
For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. During periods of rising interest rates, income investors must be mindful that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle. With that in mind, PNFP is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Experienced leader introduces Pinnacle brand to Orlando during Synovus merger transition
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pinnacle Financial Partners, which merged with Synovus Bank earlier this year, named Michael McClanahan as Orlando regional president, effective June 29.
McClanahan’s role is instrumental in building the Pinnacle brand and growing its market share in communities long served by Synovus, further strengthening the firm’s presence in Central Florida as it continues its merger transition.
With more than 40 years of Orlando-based banking leadership experience, McClanahan will mentor and build a local team focused on delivering relationship-driven financial services to companies, entrepreneurs, individuals and families across Central Florida.
“Mike has spent his career in this market, building trust with clients who expect clear guidance and consistent follow-through,” said Scott Keith, Pinnacle’s state head of Greater Florida. “He knows how to grow a bank, and he’s done it by putting experienced people around the table and staying close to clients. His exceptional leadership will translate directly into better outcomes for the people we serve.”
In Central Florida and the Orlando area, McClanahan will lead more than 100 team members in the firm’s 10 offices, including nine full-service locations. Synovus first entered the Orlando market in 2008.
“Pinnacle has built a reputation for putting experienced bankers in a position to really take care of clients, and that’s what drew me here,” McClanahan said. “I’ve spent my career in Orlando, and as the region continues to grow and become more complex, clients need a partner who can keep up with that. We have tremendous opportunity to build something meaningful by bringing together local knowledge, strong relationships and a team that knows how to deliver when it matters.”
Before joining Pinnacle, McClanahan served as Central Florida market president at BankUnited, where he led teams and built long-standing client relationships for more than a decade. Prior to that, he served as an executive vice president at CNLBank and as founder, president and CEO of Orange Bank of Florida, giving him experience across commercial banking, strategic planning and growth leadership. McClanahan earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Florida State University and has remained active in the Central Florida business community throughout his career.
McClanahan’s addition reflects the firm’s continued focus on attracting top talent with the experience and relationships to support long-term growth for clients and shareholders. His long-standing ties in Orlando position him to bring both experienced bankers and their established client relationships to Pinnacle as the firm expands in the region.
With McClanahan’s leadership and an experienced team already in place, Pinnacle is in a strong position to build deeper relationships and serve clients across one of the state’s most dynamic regions. Orlando continues to be one of Florida’s strongest growth markets as more people and businesses choose Central Florida. That growth creates real opportunity for Pinnacle, especially as clients look for a banking partner that knows the local community and can bring more resources to the table as their needs change.
Pinnacle’s merger with Synovus, which closed in January 2026, brought together two relationship-focused financial firms with a shared commitment to serving clients and communities across the Southeast. The transition to the Pinnacle brand in Orlando and Florida will continue through the first quarter of 2027 as the integration is completed.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Portman and Perform Properties today announced Pinnacle Financial Partners (NYSE: PNFP) will establish its corporate headquarters at Ten Twenty Spring, the 525,000-square-foot, Class-A office tower within the Spring Quarter mixed-use district in Midtown Atlanta. Pinnacle will occupy 165,000 square feet of premier office space at Ten Twenty Spring and bring an estimated 400 team members to the building. Pinnacle’s bank headquarters remain in downtown Nashville, Tenn.
We are serious about being Atlanta’s bank, and our presence at Ten Twenty Spring will anchor our expanding presence in the gateways to the South. When you see our sign soaring over the Downtown Connector, it will be clear that Pinnacle is here to lead.
Share Having merged with Synovus at the start of 2026, Pinnacle provides a full range of banking, investment, trust, mortgage and insurance services to businesses and individuals. Ten Twenty Spring will serve as Pinnacle’s corporate headquarters, bringing Atlanta-based senior and executive leadership together while supporting future expansion. The space spans five full floors, and the top of the tower will feature prominent Pinnacle signage with high visibility from the Downtown Connector, one of the busiest sections of interstate in the country. Pinnacle’s move-in is planned for the second half of 2027. Stream Realty handles office leasing for Ten Twenty Spring on behalf of ownership. Pinnacle was represented by CBRE.
“We’re planting the flag for our new corporate headquarters in a building and neighborhood that match the energy we feel about our future and our opportunity for growth in Atlanta,” said Pinnacle Financial Partners’ President and CEO Kevin Blair. “We are serious about being Atlanta’s bank, and our presence at Ten Twenty Spring, along with our bank headquarters in Nashville, will anchor our expanding presence in the gateways to the South. When you see our sign soaring over the Downtown Connector, it will be clear that Pinnacle is here to lead.”
Pinnacle’s new corporate headquarters and Midtown office will expand upon its existing Atlanta footprint, with 46 locations in the greater Atlanta area. In addition to the office space, Pinnacle is exploring nearby spaces for a retail location on the ground floor.
Located along one of Midtown’s most active corridors, Ten Twenty Spring offers expansive floor plates exceeding 32,000 square feet, floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces and more than 25,000 square feet of outdoor space. The building is designed to foster collaboration and connectivity, with amenities including a coworking lounge and direct access to Spring Quarter’s walkable greenspaces and public gathering areas. Pinnacle’s announcement comes on the heels of strong leasing momentum at Ten Twenty Spring, as Ernst & Young and Reed Smith committed relocations to the tower last year.
“Companies are prioritizing office space that inspires collaboration, supports a modern workforce and is seamlessly integrated with a highly amenitized environment,” said Travis Garland, Chief Development Officer at Portman. “Ten Twenty Spring is the most comprehensive office opportunity in the market, and Pinnacle’s lease is a testament to the vibrant mixed-use experience at Spring Quarter.”
In addition to the office tower, Spring Quarter features a curated mix of chef-driven dining concepts, including Celestia, a rooftop cocktail bar and lounge; Sozou, a modern Japanese dining experience crafted by acclaimed chef Fuyuhiko Ito; ISHIN by Ito, an intimate omakase experience; Habaneros, a contemporary Mexican concept; and Pataaka, a high-end Indian restaurant. The campus is anchored by Sora, a 370-unit luxury residential tower. At the heart of the mixed-use campus is the historic Patterson House, which is being preserved and reimagined into a 24,000-square-foot retail and dining destination.

NEXT HEADLINE »Reviewing ON24 (NYSE:ONTF) and Braze (NASDAQ:BRZE)
Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments is your primary focus.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.
Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) is headquartered in Nashville, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of -7.92% since the start of the year. Currently paying a dividend of $0.50 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 2.28%. In comparison, the Banks - Southeast industry's yield is 2.15%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.47%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $2.00 is up 108.3% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Pinnacle Financial has increased its dividend 3 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 7.56%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Pinnacle Financial's current payout ratio is 11%, meaning it paid out 11% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
Earnings growth looks solid for PNFP for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $10.22 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 22.10%.
Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout.
High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, PNFP is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

NEXT HEADLINE »Sparta Commercial Services (OTCMKTS:SRCO) vs. Greenidge Generation (NASDAQ:GREE) Head-To-Head Review
The market expects Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 22, 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 regional bank operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +22.1%.
Revenues are expected to be $1.18 billion, up 155.3% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.43% higher 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 an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
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 Pinnacle Financial?For Pinnacle Financial, 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 -0.64%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Pinnacle Financial 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 Pinnacle Financial would post earnings of $2.19 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.24, delivering a surprise of +2.28%.
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.
Pinnacle Financial 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.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $pnfp #greatplacetowork--Pinnacle Financial Partners (NYSE: PNFP) hired 50 revenue-producing team members in the first quarter of 2026, progressing toward its goal of hiring 225-250 such team members this year. On average, they bring more than 18 years of financial services experience to the firm, coming from banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, Truist, First Citizens and more. “Our growth model is built, in large part, on the strength of our team member recruiting and retention, and this shows we'r.
Pinnacle Financial Partners (NYSE:PNFP) opened 2026 as a newly combined company following the close of its merger with Synovus on January 1, with management emphasizing early organic growth, stable credit trends and progress on integration plans during the bank’s first-quarter earnings call.
First-quarter results shaped by merger accounting and expenses President and CEO Kevin Blair said the company “hit the ground running” in the first 90 days after closing the deal, citing balance sheet growth and revenue performance while acknowledging sizable merger-related charges.
For the first quarter, Pinnacle reported diluted earnings per share of $0.89 and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.39. Blair said results included $275 million of merger-related cost, while “credit remained stable” and key profitability metrics such as adjusted return on tangible common equity and adjusted tangible efficiency remained strong.
Chief Financial Officer Jamie Gregory noted that sequential and year-over-year comparisons were “significantly impacted” by the merger closing on January 1, and said management would reference combined historical figures for legacy Pinnacle and Synovus to frame organic performance.
Loans, deposits and margin: management cites broad-based momentum Gregory said net interest income totaled $933 million in the first quarter, supported by “excellent balance sheet growth.” Period-end loans (excluding the day-one purchase accounting loan mark) rose $2.1 billion, or 10% annualized, from the combined firm’s fourth-quarter 2025 levels. He said most organic loan growth came from C&I, with contributions across geographic markets and specialty lending lines.
Core deposit growth was also strong. Gregory reported linked-quarter organic core deposit growth of $1.9 billion, or 8% annualized, driven by higher interest-bearing demand deposits and money market accounts and described as broad-based across business units. Total deposit growth was affected by a “strategic reduction of broker deposits,” which Gregory later characterized as a “cost optimization play.”
Net interest margin expanded to 3.53%, in line with prior guidance of 3.45% to 3.55%. Gregory attributed the NIM performance to purchase accounting marks and fixed-rate asset repricing, as well as actions taken in January to reposition part of the legacy Synovus securities portfolio. He said those transactions reduced interest rate risk, supported the bank’s liquidity profile, and eliminated “approximately all” purchase accounting accretion associated with the securities portfolio.
In Q&A, Blair said loan growth was not driven by higher line utilization, noting it was “down a little bit” in the quarter. He said the company added $8.2 billion of commitments versus $4.2 billion of funded loans, which he said could lead to future fund-ups. On pricing, Blair said new-loan yields were “right around 620” and “essentially flat,” while deposit production costs were about 2.62% and up roughly six basis points linked quarter, which he attributed to mix shifting toward money markets.
Fee revenue growth and BHG contribution Gregory said, on a combined basis, adjusted non-interest revenue increased more than 20% year-over-year and was stable compared with the fourth quarter. He pointed to “strong” year-over-year growth in core banking, wealth management and capital markets fees.
Income from the company’s equity method investment in BHG was $31 million in the quarter, which Gregory said was in line with expectations.
For 2026 guidance, Blair said the bank continues to expect approximately $1.1 billion in adjusted non-interest revenue, including projected BHG investment income of about $105 million to $115 million. Blair described a “slight headwind” versus a prior estimate as being tied to BHG’s strategy to optimize funding and delivery platforms—creating a “modest near-term revenue recognition headwind” but, in management’s view, better positioning BHG for long-term profitability and enterprise value. Gregory later added that the shift involves more distribution through securitizations and loan sales, which brings lower upfront premiums than bank partnership sales but can reduce ongoing costs and improve the predictability of earnings over time.
Integration progress, hiring momentum and conversion timeline Blair repeatedly highlighted recruiting as a core driver of growth, saying Pinnacle added 50 experienced revenue producers during the quarter and that momentum continued into April with another 37 new hires or accepted offers. He said integration is progressing “ahead of plan” and that major technology and systems decisions are “largely complete,” with the company still targeting an operational and brand conversion by March 2027.
Responding to questions about the go-to-market approach, Blair said the combined organization is moving toward the “Pinnacle model,” including rapid hiring of revenue producers and a decentralized framework. He said about 40% of first-quarter producer hires were in the legacy Synovus footprint, which he described as about a 50% increase over what would have been done in the same period last year, and said the model has been well received by Synovus bankers.
On retention, Blair said the company tracks voluntary turnover with a 7% target and said the combined organization is “right on that target” through the first 90 days, adding that some departures were retirements.
Blair also referenced external recognition, noting that legacy Pinnacle ranked first nationally in Coalition Greenwich “Best Bank” awards earned and Synovus ranked sixth, which he said Coalition Greenwich described as rare in bank mergers. Blair added that Pinnacle was ranked No. 12 on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list, marking its 10th consecutive year on the list, and that the company joined the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index (BKX) during the quarter.
Credit trends, reserves and capital priorities Gregory said credit remained “very healthy” in the first quarter. Net charge-offs were $49 million, or 23 basis points, compared with 25 basis points for the combined firm in the fourth quarter and 19 basis points for the combined firm in 2025. The non-performing asset ratio was 0.58%, which Gregory said was “largely impacted” by two senior housing relationships that were previously rated, have specific reserves, and “should be resolved this year.”
The allowance for credit losses ended the quarter at 1.19%, up from 1.17% for legacy Pinnacle at the end of December. Gregory attributed the increase to net loan growth, deterioration in the economic forecast and more individually analyzed loans, partially offset by a decline in qualitative reserves. On the economic assumptions, Gregory said the company used Moody’s updated forecast and adjusted scenario weightings to put more emphasis on slow-growth outcomes due to uncertainty.
On portfolio disclosures, Gregory said Pinnacle’s non-depository financial institution (NDFI) loan exposure is approximately $7.3 billion and that about $700 million of legacy Pinnacle music catalog loans were reclassified into NDFI from general C&I during the quarter. In Q&A, Blair said NDFI exposure was about 9% of loans and emphasized that the category is not homogeneous; he said private credit exposure within the NDFI portfolio was about $1.7 billion, or less than 2% of total loans, and described the bank’s positioning as senior secured with structural protections.
Capital-wise, Gregory said the common equity Tier 1 ratio ended the quarter at 9.8% and that the bank intends to deploy capital generated through earnings to client growth during 2026 while building CET1 toward the low end of its target range, with a stated target of about 10.25%. He said share repurchases are planned only after reaching the low end of that target. Gregory also said the most recent capital NPR proposal could have an estimated 60 basis point positive impact to CET1. Regarding Basel III-related proposals, he said the estimated benefit from risk-weighted asset changes would be driven largely by commercial lending and residential mortgages, though he stressed the bank would wait for final rules before making capital deployment decisions.
Blair closed the call by reiterating that management’s 2026 outlook was unchanged, and said first-quarter performance supported confidence in the company’s growth model and integration trajectory. Blair also noted that Jennifer Demba, identified on the call as senior director of investor relations, will retire in June.
