Home Bancshares, Inc. (NYSE: HOMB) reported fourth‑quarter 2025 earnings that matched analyst expectations, delivering earnings per share of 60 ¢ and total revenue of $272.48 million.
The results represent a 4.4 % year‑over‑year increase in revenue and a 20 % rise in EPS from 50 ¢ in Q4 2024. Compared with the prior quarter, revenue fell 1.6 % to $272.48 million from $277.7 million in Q3 2025, while EPS slipped slightly to 60 ¢ from 61–63 ¢, reflecting a modest shift in the bank’s mix.
Higher loan yields and disciplined deposit‑cost management drove the revenue growth, while the bank’s community‑banking franchise continued to generate stable net interest income. Net interest margin remained steady at 4.56 % in Q3 2025, and the efficiency ratio held near 40 %, indicating that cost control efforts were effective.
The earnings announcement came amid a market rally that followed the company’s all‑stock acquisition of Mountain Commerce Bancorp, announced December 8 2025, for approximately $150.1 million. The deal expands HOMB’s footprint into Tennessee and is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings, reinforcing investor confidence in the bank’s growth strategy.
Management did not provide new guidance for 2026, but reiterated its focus on cost discipline and strategic investments in high‑return segments. The bank’s track record of meeting or exceeding earnings estimates—75 % of the time over the past two years—underscores its execution discipline, while the acquisition is positioned to support the bank’s long‑term growth objectives.
