8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight • Neutral

Watch for the One Florida Bank closing on August 1 and integration updates; the stock has already run from $63.59 to $74.72 since Q1, so the in-line print may not be a catalyst by itself. Focus on NIM trajectory in 2H26 and whether the elevated loan growth rate can be sustained.
