First Interstate Q2 EPS Jumps 19%

First Interstate BancSystem (NASDAQ:FIBK), a regional community bank with operations across 14 states, reported financial results for Q2 2025 on July 29, 2025. The most notable news from the release was a notable rise in profitability: earnings per share (EPS, GAAP) came in at $0.69 in Q2 2025, surpassing the analyst consensus of $0.58 (GAAP) by 19% in Q2 2025. The period marked a substantial improvement in net interest margin, continued capital strengthening, and lower credit costs. Despite these positives, Asset quality concerns surfaced as criticized loans -- especially within commercial real estate -- rose markedly in Q1 2025. Overall, the bank delivered stronger earnings on effective margin management, even as GAAP revenue contracted more than expected. The bottom line: underlying credit risk and muted loan growth remain areas to watch. Source: Analyst estimates for the quarter provided by FactSet.
