Jay Brogdon, Simmons' President and CEO, commented on third quarter 2026 results:

"The third quarter showcased our commitment to delivering sustainable long-term value through focused execution of several strategic initiatives designed to improve profitability and further optimize our balance sheet. We continue to achieve reductions in noninterest expenses as well as back-book loans and deposits with low relationship value. Combined with disciplined loan and deposit pricing, these initiatives drove net interest margin expansion of 8 basis points to 3.92%, and drove meaningful improvements in our adjusted ROAA and adjusted ROTCE performance.

Credit quality metrics remained relatively stable during the quarter, as we actively manage legacy credits and pursue early identification of potential problems. We continue strengthening reserves to buffer our already strong capital levels. 

As we look to the fourth quarter and beyond, we will remain relentless in our commitment to the principles of generating sound and profitable growth. By simplifying and focusing our business, we have gained efficiencies that will more than fund ongoing investments that support high-value organic growth. We plan to further outline our strategic objectives and future financial targets at our upcoming Investor Day in December."

Simmons First National Corporation (NASDAQ: SFNC) (Simmons or Company) today reported net income of $47.1 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $66.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 and a net loss of $562.8 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $204.0 million, up $3.3 million, or 7 percent annualized, compared to $200.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 and up $17.3 million, or 9 percent, compared to $186.7 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income on a linked quarter basis was due to a $1.4 million increase in interest income, coupled with a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense. These changes were primarily driven by loan yields increasing as lower fixed rate loan back book repriced higher, continued optimization of funding costs, including lower customer deposit costs and utilization of FHLB advances as an alternative to higher rate brokered deposits, and one extra day in the quarter. The increase in net interest income on a year-over-year basis was primarily due to a full quarter impact of balance sheet repositioning completed in the third quarter of 2025, along with the previously mentioned lower fixed rate loan back book repricing and optimization of funding cost.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2026 on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis2 was 3.92 percent, up 8 basis points compared to 3.84 percent for the second quarter of 2026 and up 42 basis points compared to 3.50 percent for the third quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest margin on a linked quarter basis reflected an increase in loan yields, coupled with the deleveraging of the balance sheet driven by the run-off of certain lower yielding, low relationship credits and a corresponding reduction of higher cost funding. The increase in the net interest margin on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected the full impact of the balance sheet repositioning that was completed during the third quarter of 2025 and previously mentioned optimization of loan yields and funding cost.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $47.2 million, compared to $47.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $(756.2) million in the third quarter of 2025. Included in noninterest income in the third quarter of 2025 was a loss on the sale of securities totaling $801.5 million in connection with the balance sheet repositioning. Adjusted noninterest income1 for the third quarter of 2025 was $45.9 million. The decrease in noninterest income on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to a decrease in swap fee income and a higher positive valuation adjustment on Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) investments in the second quarter of 2026, both of which are included in "other income" in the table below. These decreases more than offset a $1.3 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $1.2 million increase in wealth management services.

Included in noninterest expense are certain items consisting of branch/real estate rightsizing costs, severance/early retirement program costs, certain professional services, accelerated prepaid expenses and loss on early extinguishment of debt. Collectively, these items totaled $43.1 million in the third quarter of 2026, $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Loans and Unfunded Loan Commitments
Total loans at the end of the third quarter of 2026 were $17.5 billion, compared to $18.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and $17.2 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in total loans on a linked quarter basis reflected higher levels of paydowns, early payoffs, and continued focus on profitability and relationship banking as we deleveraged the balance sheet through the run-off of certain lower yielding, low relationship credits. Unfunded commitments at the end of the third quarter of 2026 were $4.4 billion, relatively unchanged from second quarter 2026 levels and up from $4.0 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The commercial loan pipeline totaled $1.3 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2026, and ready-to-close commercial loans totaled $455 million with a weighted average rate of 6.78 percent.

Noninterest bearing deposits totaled $4.3 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2026, compared to $4.4 billion at the end of both the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025. Interest bearing deposits at the end of the third quarter of 2026 totaled $14.3 billion, compared to $15.4 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and $15.5 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in interest bearing deposits on a linked quarter basis reflected balance sheet deleveraging of higher rate deposits, seasonal decreases in public fund deposits and a reduction in the utilization of brokered deposits given pricing relative to FHLB advances. The decrease in total deposits on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected a decrease in time deposits, coupled with a decrease in brokered deposits.

Other borrowings at the end of the third quarter of 2026 were $1.4 billion, compared to $941.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and $18.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The increase in other borrowings on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis reflected increased utilization of short-term FHLB advances given favorable pricing.

Total stockholders' equity at the end of the third quarter of 2026 was $3.3 billion, compared to $3.5 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and $3.4 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. Book value per share at the end of the third quarter of 2026 was $23.18, compared to $24.11 at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and unchanged from the third quarter of 2025. Tangible book value per share1 at the end of the third quarter of 2026 was $13.52, compared to $14.42 at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and $13.45 at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in book value per share and tangible book value per share on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflecting higher long-term interest rates, offset in part, by an increase in undivided profits.  

Total stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the third quarter of 2026 was 13.9 percent, compared to 14.1 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and unchanged from the level at the end of the third quarter of 2025. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets1 was 8.6 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2026, compared to 8.9 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and 8.5 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2025.

Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2026, Simmons did not repurchase shares under its stock repurchase program that was authorized in January 2026 (2026 Program). Remaining authorization under the 2026 Program as of September 30, 2026, was approximately $161 million. The timing, pricing and amount of any repurchases under the 2026 Program will be determined by Simmons' management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, trading volume and market price of Simmons' common stock, Simmons' capital needs, Simmons' working capital and investment requirements, other corporate considerations, economic conditions, and legal requirements. The 2026 Program does not obligate Simmons to repurchase any common stock and may be modified, discontinued or suspended at any time without prior notice.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance. These measures adjust GAAP performance measures to, among other things, include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as exclude from net income (including on a per share diluted basis), pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, net charge-offs, income available to common shareholders, noninterest income, and noninterest expense certain income and expense items attributable to, for example, branch/real estate rightsizing costs, severance/early retirement program costs, certain professional services, accelerated prepaid expenses, loss on sale of securities and loss on early extinguishment of debt.

In addition, the Company also presents certain figures based on tangible common stockholders' equity, tangible assets and tangible book value, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company further presents certain figures that are exclusive of the impact of deposits and/or loans acquired through acquisitions, mortgage warehouse loans, and/or energy loans, or gains and/or losses on the sale of securities. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they, among other things, present the results of the Company's ongoing operations without the effect of mergers or other items not central to the Company's ongoing business, as well as normalize for tax effects and certain other effects. Management, therefore, believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company's ongoing businesses, and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of the Company's ongoing businesses as related to prior financial periods. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may not be based on historical facts and should be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements made in Mr. Brogdon's quote, may be identified by reference to future periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "believe," "budget," "expect," "foresee," "anticipate," "intend," "indicate," "target," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continue," "contemplate," "positions," "prospects," "predict," or "potential," by future conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "might" or "may," or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to Simmons' future growth, business strategies, lending capacity and lending activity, loan demand, revenue, assets, asset quality, profitability, dividends, net interest margin, non-interest revenue, share repurchase program, acquisition strategy, digital banking initiatives, the Company's ability to recruit and retain key employees, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, future economic conditions and interest rates, and the adequacy of reserve levels for loans. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, and Simmons undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this press release. By nature, forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions and involve inherent risk and uncertainties. Various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in economic conditions, changes in credit quality, changes in interest rates and related governmental policies, the effects of a government shutdown, changes in loan demand, changes in deposit flows, changes in real estate values, changes in the assumptions used in making the forward-looking statements, changes in the securities markets generally or the price of Simmons' common stock specifically, changes in information technology affecting the financial industry, and changes in customer behaviors, including consumer spending, borrowing, and saving habits; changes in tariff policies; general economic and market conditions; changes in governmental administrations; market disruptions including pandemics or significant health hazards, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, terrorist activities, financial crises, political crises, war and other military conflicts (including the ongoing military conflicts in Iran and the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine) or other major events, or the prospect of these events; the soundness of other financial institutions and any indirect exposure related to the closings of other financial institutions and their impact on the broader market through other customers, suppliers and partners, or that the conditions which resulted in the liquidity concerns experienced by closed financial institutions may also adversely impact, directly or indirectly, other financial institutions and market participants with which the Company has commercial or deposit relationships; increased inflation; the loss of key employees; increased competition in the markets in which the Company operates and from non-bank financial institutions; increased unemployment; labor shortages; claims, damages, and fines related to litigation or government actions; changes in accounting principles relating to loan loss recognition (current expected credit losses); fraud that results in material losses or that the Company has not discovered yet that may result in material losses; the Company's ability to manage and successfully integrate its mergers and acquisitions and to fully realize cost savings and other benefits associated with acquisitions; increased delinquency and foreclosure rates on commercial real estate loans; significant increases in nonaccrual loan balances; cyber or other information technology threats, attacks or events; emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence that could give rise to legal or regulatory action or increase cybersecurity threats; reliance on third parties for key services; government legislation; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. In addition, there can be no guarantee that the board of directors (Board) of Simmons will approve a quarterly dividend in future quarters, and the timing, payment, and amount of future dividends (if any) is subject to, among other things, the discretion of the Board and may differ significantly from past dividends. Additional information on factors that might affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, and other reports that the Company has filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), all of which are available from the SEC on its website, www.sec.gov.

The upcoming report from Simmons First National (SFNC - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $0.53 per share, indicating an increase of 15.2% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $255.21 million, representing an increase of 10% year over year.

Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been adjusted downward by 0.2% to its current level. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.

Before a company announces its earnings, it is essential to take into account any changes made to earnings estimates. This is a valuable factor in predicting the potential reactions of investors toward the stock. Empirical research has consistently shown a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While it's common for investors to rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates for assessing how the business may have performed during the quarter, exploring analysts' forecasts for key metrics can yield valuable insights.

Given this perspective, it's time to examine the average forecasts of specific Simmons First National metrics that are routinely monitored and predicted by Wall Street analysts.

The consensus estimate for 'Net Interest Margin' stands at 3.9%. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of 3.5%.

Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Total interest earning assets (FTE) - Average Balance' should arrive at $21.46 billion. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported $21.56 billion in the same quarter last year.

Analysts expect 'Total nonperforming loans' to come in at $164.30 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $153.94 million.

The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Total nonperforming assets' of $176.51 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $160.72 million.

Analysts forecast 'Total Non-Interest Income' to reach $46.97 million. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $45.31 million.

It is projected by analysts that the 'Net Interest Income - FTE' will reach $208.21 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $190.47 million.

According to the collective judgment of analysts, 'Net Interest Income' should come in at $204.41 million. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported $186.66 million in the same quarter last year.

Analysts' assessment points toward 'Wealth management fees' reaching $10.34 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $9.97 million.

The consensus among analysts is that 'Service charges on deposit accounts' will reach $12.48 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $13.05 million.

The average prediction of analysts places 'Debit and credit card fees' at $9.01 million. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of $8.48 million.

Original source text
The market expects Simmons First National (SFNC - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 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 stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 15. 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 $0.53 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +15.2%.

Revenues are expected to be $255.21 million, up 10% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.45% 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.

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 Simmons First National?For Simmons First National, 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 +0.50%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that Simmons First National 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 Simmons First National would post earnings of $0.53 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.50, delivering a surprise of -5.66%.

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

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.

Simmons First National 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.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAmong the stocks in the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, Home BancShares (HOMB - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.64 per share for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +4.9%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $293 million, up 5.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Home BancShares has been revised 0.1% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of +0.79%, reflecting a higher Most Accurate Estimate.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), this Earnings ESP indicates that Home BancShares will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Simmons First National NASDAQ: SFNC executives said the bank is seeing early progress from deposit, lending and efficiency initiatives, while cautioning that competition for deposits and loans remains intense across its markets.

During the company’s second quarter 2026 earnings call, President and CEO Jay Brogdon and CFO Daniel Hobbs described a quarter marked by higher-quality deposit growth, strong loan production, continued expense discipline and ongoing investments in talent and technology. Management also said it remains comfortable with several full-year outlook items issued earlier in the year.

Get Simmons First National alerts:

Deposit growth remains a strategic focus Hobbs said deposits remain “one of our biggest focuses strategically” and will likely be an area of significant investment over the next 12 to 24 months. He pointed to 4% annualized growth in non-interest-bearing deposits during the second quarter, calling those balances the “highest quality” deposits. Hobbs also said average balances in interest-bearing money market and savings accounts grew, even though ending balances declined.

The bank is seeing early results from marketing campaigns, efforts to attract new customers, work to deepen existing relationships and initiatives to reduce attrition, Hobbs said. He added that Simmons had more inflows from new customer balances than outflows during the quarter. Checking accounts grew more than 1% both year over year and linked quarter, which Hobbs said was evidence that deposit initiatives are beginning to pay off.

Brogdon said the competitive environment remains challenging. “Deposit competition is very, very fierce,” he said, adding that he expects that backdrop to continue. He said the bank’s ability to grow in higher-quality funding categories despite that environment was encouraging.

Hobbs said Simmons is taking an opportunistic approach to wholesale funding, including brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. He said the company leaned more into FHLB funding during the quarter because pricing was more advantageous, while remaining short duration in both brokered deposits and borrowings.

Loan production strengthens, but management says it will not stretch for growth Brogdon said he remains encouraged by loan growth. Simmons previously provided a low- to mid-single-digit loan growth outlook for 2026, and Brogdon said the bank was at roughly 7% annualized loan growth year to date, placing it near the top end of that outlook halfway through the year.

Second-quarter loan growth was not as strong as the first quarter, but Brogdon said that was not due to weak production. He said quarterly committed production was near a four-year high and fit within the bank’s credit underwriting and pricing standards. Production was partially offset by an expected level of paydowns.

Brogdon said unfunded commitments increased due to recent production, and the loan pipeline remains healthy across the company’s footprint and asset classes. However, he emphasized that Simmons will remain disciplined. “We’re not going to stretch for growth right now,” he said.

On loan pricing, Brogdon said competition has been intense, with Simmons missing some opportunities because other banks were willing to price more aggressively. He said the bank will continue to focus on relationship profitability and returns on invested capital.

Management also highlighted a potential tailwind from fixed-rate loan repricing. Brogdon noted that Simmons has $1.8 billion of fixed-rate loans repricing over the next 12 months with an average yield below 4%, calling that “back book tailwind” meaningful.

Expense outlook improves as investments continue Brogdon said Simmons remains comfortable with its full-year guidance for net interest income growth of 9% to 11% and said the bank is “very comfortable” at the top end of that range. He also said Simmons remains comfortable with its fee and non-interest expense guidance, and expects to beat its earlier non-interest expense growth outlook of 2% to 3% for the year.

Overall, Brogdon said he expects the company to exceed its prior expectations for more than 5% positive operating leverage and strong year-over-year pre-provision net revenue growth in 2026.

Hobbs said the improved expense outlook includes significant investments. Simmons reduced square footage by another 2.5% during the quarter, bringing the total reduction to 8.5% since the start of the initiative. He said the company’s goal is to reduce square footage by 15%, with meaningful opportunities in corporate space as well as branches.

Management also cited process improvement opportunities across the front, middle and back office. Brogdon said Simmons is investing heavily in talent and technology while using internal savings to help fund those initiatives.

Credit trends remain in focus Asked about an increase in nonperforming assets related to a four-family construction borrower, Brogdon said the relationship “certainly sticks out” among the bank’s larger nonperforming loans. He said timing for resolution is difficult to predict and could extend into next year, but added that Simmons is devoting significant effort to resolving the matter.

Brogdon said the broader credit backdrop shows some healthy migration, including declining criticized and classified loans and past dues moderating toward historical norms. He said those trends should be a leading indicator for the credit outlook.

Simmons previously provided an outlook of approximately 25 basis points in annual net charge-offs for 2026. Brogdon said the company remains below that level through the first half of the year and does not currently know of anything that would cause it to change that outlook.

Capital, hiring and deposit costs Brogdon said Simmons will continue to be opportunistic with share repurchases, while prioritizing investments in the business and organic growth. An analyst referenced $161 million remaining under the company’s authorization, and Brogdon said management has put more “pencil to paper” on returning some excess capital through buybacks given its forward returns outlook.

Executives also discussed recent hiring. COO Chris Van Steenberg said teams and individuals brought into the company this year are already generating meaningful wins, including in wealth-related balances and deposits. Brogdon said he was excited about bringing Jim Recer into the business, in response to a question about the bank’s commercial and industrial opportunity.

On deposit costs, Hobbs said Simmons exited the quarter at about 1.90%, compared with a quarterly average of 1.93%. He said there may be one more quarter of benefit if rates remain flat, but a rate increase at the October 2026 Federal Reserve meeting would change that trajectory. If rates stay flat, he said deposit costs would likely hover around 1.90% to 1.95%, though investments in pricing and marketing could affect that range.

In closing remarks, Brogdon said Simmons has “significant untapped efficiency and potential” and is shifting from tactical cost efforts toward more strategic work around organizational structure, process engineering and technology. He said those investments are intended to help the bank deliver an operating model capable of reaching or exceeding its long-range return targets.

Simmons First National (SFNC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.5 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.53 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.44 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -5.66%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this bank holding company would post earnings of $0.47 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.47, delivering no surprise.

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

Simmons First National, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, posted revenues of $251.6 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.18%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $214.18 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two 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.

Simmons First National shares have added about 23.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 10.6%.

What's Next for Simmons First National?While Simmons First National 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 Simmons First National 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 $0.54 on $257.38 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.08 on $1.01 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 34% 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.

Another stock from the same industry, Capital City Bank (CCBG - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 21.

This bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.91 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +3.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Capital City Bank's revenues are expected to be $64 million, up 1.3% from the year-ago quarter.
