Company Overview

Bank OZK is a bank that combines community banking, indirect and recreational vehicle lending, real estate financing through RESG, and corporate and institutional banking through CIB. The bank generates income from net interest on loans and investments, alongside fees from treasury management, interest rate and commodity hedging, debt and equity placement, and loan-related services. CIB includes more than 7 major business lines and covers more than 42 unique economic classifications, with opportunities to cross-sell deposit, wealth management, and capital markets services to the same clients.

In Q2 fiscal 2026, Bank OZK reported revenue of $672.9 million, gross profit of $384.4 million, net income of $167.4 million, and earnings per share of $1.49. Gross profit represented approximately 57.1% of revenue, while net income represented approximately 24.9%. Compared with Q1 fiscal 2026, revenue increased from $661.5 million, net income rose from $163.4 million, and earnings per share increased from $1.44.

Revenue for the 2026 TTM period was approximately $2.8 billion, with gross profit of $1.6 billion, net income of $691.3 million, and earnings per share of $6.06. By comparison, fiscal 2025 recorded similar revenue of $2.8 billion, but net income was $715.5 million and earnings per share were $6.21. The bank is currently reshaping its portfolio mix; CIB exceeds $7 billion, while RESG exceeds $15 billion, and management expects the two portfolios to converge in size during fiscal 2027.

What's Driving the Stock

  • A four-basis-point improvement in the net interest margin in Q2 fiscal 2026 drove net interest income higher compared with the previous quarter, despite a wave of early repayments approaching $3 billion that reduced average earning assets.
  • Management is targeting mid-single-digit loan growth during fiscal 2026 and expects average earning assets in each of Q3 and Q4 fiscal 2026 to be higher than in Q2 fiscal 2026.
  • CIB is the main diversification driver; it exceeds $7 billion and covers more than 42 economic classifications, while the average spread on new loans within it was more than 25 basis points above the average of the existing portfolio during Q2 fiscal 2026.
  • The RESG portfolio is contracting after repayments of approximately $9.95 billion during the four quarters ended Q2 fiscal 2026, and management expects repayments to remain elevated throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027, with RESG and CIB converging in size during fiscal 2027.
  • The bank used approximately $175 million of a $200 million repurchase authorization during the previous four quarters, at an average cost below tangible book value, then approved a new $200 million authorization for the following four quarters; management believes the amount executed will depend on the share price during that period.

Buying & Selling Case

▲ Buying Case4 pts

  • +The shift from RESG to CIB provides meaningful diversification, as commercial real estate concentration declined to below the 300% regulatory threshold, and management expects construction and development to fall below the 100% threshold by the end of fiscal 2026 or early in fiscal 2027.
  • +CIB generates revenue beyond the direct loan return through deposits, treasury management, interest rate and commodity hedging, and capital markets fees, while the spread on new loans exceeded the average of the existing CIB portfolio by more than 25 basis points in Q2 fiscal 2026.
  • +Q2 fiscal 2026 demonstrated the ability to protect profitability despite loan contraction; the net interest margin increased by four basis points, revenue rose to $672.9 million, and net income increased to $167.4 million compared with the previous quarter.
  • +The new $200 million repurchase authorization gives the bank an additional tool to support earnings per share and tangible book value, after using approximately $175 million of the previous authorization at prices below tangible book value.

Valuation

The context does not include a consensus price target or a high-to-low range of analyst targets, nor is a calculated price-to-earnings ratio available, so a reliable comparison between these two valuation anchors cannot be made. Analysts have a neutral consensus, while the 52-week range extends from $15.76 to $17.85, and this caution reflects the balance between CIB growth and margin improvement versus commercial real estate charge-offs, elevated RESG repayments, and deposit cost pressures.

FAQ

What is driving Bank OZK’s results in Q2 fiscal 2026?

Bank OZK generated revenue of $672.9 million, net income of $167.4 million, and earnings per share of $1.49 in Q2 fiscal 2026. These figures increased from $661.5 million, $163.4 million, and $1.44, respectively, in the previous quarter. The net interest margin also improved by four basis points despite a wave of early repayments approaching $3 billion. A five-basis-point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and investment portfolio management helped offset the decline in average earning assets.

How is CIB changing Bank OZK’s business mix?

The CIB portfolio exceeds $7 billion, includes more than 7 major business lines, and covers more than 42 unique economic classifications. Activities include sponsor, fund, lender, natural resources, multi-unit franchise, asset-based, and equipment finance. The average spread on new CIB loans during Q2 fiscal 2026 increased by more than 25 basis points compared with the average of the existing portfolio. Management expects CIB and RESG to converge in size during fiscal 2027, reducing the bank’s dependence on commercial real estate.

How significant are Bank OZK’s RESG and commercial real estate risks?

Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.

  • −Commercial real estate credit risk remains material, particularly in office and life sciences properties; in Q2 fiscal 2026, the bank recorded a $22 million charge-off on an office building and a $3.7 million charge-off on a life sciences building, and management expects a limited number of additional troubled assets to emerge during the remainder of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027.
  • −RESG remains a large portfolio exceeding $15 billion and represents approximately 48% of loans according to the discussion, despite commercial real estate regulatory concentration declining to below 300%; therefore, performance remains tied to sponsors’ ability to refinance or inject capital and to commercial real estate conditions.
  • −The wave of RESG repayments could restrain asset and income growth; repayments approached $3 billion in Q2 fiscal 2026 and averaged approximately $2.5 billion per quarter during the previous four quarters, pushing loan growth into negative territory that quarter and reducing average earning assets.
  • −Net interest income guidance has become more cautious, as management linked the ability to match or exceed the fiscal 2025 figure to the decline in average earning assets, and it also expects the net interest margin to remain below the 4.20% level recorded in Q1 fiscal 2026.
  • −The bank expects a modest increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits after Q2 fiscal 2026 marked an inflection point; it raised certificate of deposit offering rates by approximately ten basis points in preparation for funding loan growth in Q3 and Q4 fiscal 2026.
  • −Competition is pressuring growth and pricing opportunities; management described new RESG loan originations as limited because of the abundance of competing capital in commercial real estate, while CIB also partially pulled back from asset-based lending when pricing tightened and competitors offered more aggressive advance rates.

The RESG portfolio exceeds $15 billion, and the discussion during the call centered on its decline from a level representing approximately 48% of the loan portfolio. RESG repayments totaled approximately $9.95 billion during the four quarters ended Q2 fiscal 2026, with repayments approaching $3 billion in the latest quarter alone. The bank recorded a $22 million charge-off on an office building and a $3.7 million charge-off on a life sciences building during the same quarter. In contrast, sponsors provided $91.5 million in unscheduled repayments and $19.5 million in reserve deposits, while reducing unfunded commitments by $37.5 million and generating $5.4 million in modification fees.

What is the outlook for loan growth and margins during the remainder of fiscal 2026?

Management reaffirmed its target of mid-single-digit loan growth during fiscal 2026. It expects average earning assets in each of Q3 and Q4 fiscal 2026 to be higher than in Q2 fiscal 2026. In contrast, it indicated that the net interest margin would likely remain below the 4.20% recorded in Q1 fiscal 2026. It also expects a modest increase in deposit costs after raising certificate of deposit offering rates by approximately ten basis points.

Is the share repurchase program material to the OZKAP investment case?

Bank OZK used approximately $175 million of a previous $200 million authorization during the four quarters preceding the call dated July 22, 2026. The purchases were executed at an average cost below tangible book value, which management described as supportive of tangible book value and earnings per share. The bank approved a new $200 million authorization for the following four quarters. However, management did not commit to using the full amount and explained that the amount executed would depend on the share price during that period.
