Source Tradingkey
Key Takeaways
- Southside Bancshares reported Q3 2026 net income of $28 million and diluted EPS of $0.93, up 4.2% and 3.3%, respectively, from the prior quarter.
- Tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 12 basis points sequentially to 3.02%, supported by higher loan and securities yields and flat funding costs.
- Loans ended the quarter at $4.96 billion. Strong production was largely offset by payoffs, prompting management to lower its 2026 loan growth guidance to the low- to mid-single-digit range.
- New loan production totaled approximately $400 million, with $276 million funded. Payoffs totaled $281 million, excluding regular amortization and line-of-credit activity.
- Deposits fell $155.6 million, or 2.5%, mainly because public fund deposits declined by $200.2 million. Wholesale funding increased $334.3 million to $1.7 billion.
- Management expects the September Federal Reserve rate increase to support Q4 loan yields because approximately 55% of the loan portfolio will reprice within 90 days, although deposit and wholesale funding costs are also expected to rise.
