Home BancShares delivered stronger revenue and net interest income in Q2 2026, with net interest margin improving to 4.51% and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.64 despite $12.7 million of MCBI-related expenses. The MCBI acquisition materially increased loans, deposits and liquidity, while operating cash flow also improved. However, nonperforming loans more than doubled to $185.3 million, net charge-offs increased, and the company remains highly concentrated in commercial real estate. Overall sentiment is neutral because balance-sheet growth and funding trends were positive but credit deterioration and integration costs offset the operating gains.

-
Net interest margin improved
Net interest margin expanded to 4.51% from 4.44% year over year, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined to 2.45% from 2.73%. Management attributed the improvement to lower funding costs and the MCBI acquisition.

-

Nonperforming loans increased to $185.3 million, or 1.08% of total loans, from $85.0 million, or 0.54%, at December 31, 2025. Management attributed much of the increase to one $92.1 million loan relationship placed on nonaccrual status.

-
Reliance on brokered deposits increased
Brokered deposits increased to $587.3 million from $435.7 million at December 31, 2025. Management cautioned that brokered deposits could outflow if the company's condition or reputation deteriorates or if market rates change materially.
