Investar Holding Corporation announced net income of $4.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. This compares to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025. However, the results represent an increase from $4.1 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, reported in the second quarter of 2024.
The sequential decrease in net income from Q1 2025 indicates a moderation in earnings compared to the previous quarter's strong performance, which included a significant loan recovery. Despite this, the year-over-year improvement from Q2 2024 demonstrates underlying progress in the company's financial performance. The bank, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, continues to navigate its strategic pivot.
Earnings, adjusted for non-recurring costs, came to $0.47 per share for the second quarter of 2025. This provides a clearer picture of the company's operational profitability. Investors will monitor future reports to assess the impact of the recently announced acquisition of Wichita Falls Bancshares, Inc. and the associated capital raise on subsequent financial results.
