Core Viewpoint - Simmons First National Corporation (SFNC) is expected to report an increase in third-quarter 2025 earnings and revenues compared to the same quarter last year, driven by higher net interest income and improved lending activity, despite lower non-interest income impacting overall results [1][9]. Earnings Performance - SFNC has a solid earnings surprise history, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 1.44% [2]. Factors Influencing Q3 Earnings - The Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cut of 25 basis points to 4.00-4.25% is likely to have stabilized funding and deposit costs, supporting growth in net interest income (NII) for SFNC [3]. - The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NII is projected at $184.9 million, reflecting a 7.7% increase from the previous quarter [4]. Non-Interest Revenues - Mortgage rates have declined significantly during the third quarter, leading to decent refinancing activity and origination volumes, which is expected to boost SFNC's mortgage income [5]. - The consensus estimate for mortgage lending income is $1.8 million, indicating a 3.6% increase from the prior quarter [6]. - Wealth management fees are estimated at $38.2 million, a rise of 16.5% from the previous quarter, while debit and credit card fees are projected at $34.3 billion, reflecting a 4.3% increase [6]. - Total non-interest income is estimated at $176.8 billion, showing a marginal increase from the prior quarter [7].
