The EPS miss and rising credit costs on CRE loans are the primary negatives, partially offset by NIM expansion and the buyback authorization. Watch the Q4 2026 earnings for further credit deterioration trends and whether the buyback receives regulatory approval and is executed.

- Net income $61.2M, down from $64.4M in Q2 2026 and down from $64.7M operating earnings
