Equity Bancshares (NYSE:EQBK) emphasized core margin expansion and adjusted earnings growth during the quarter. Management reiterated a disciplined M approach, citing a "high rate" of market conversations, expanding target size, and an ongoing focus on value realization without near-term regulatory hurdles being the main driver for sellers entering the market. This occurred even as nonaccrual loans rose notably due to a single large quick-service restaurant (QSR) relationship undergoing restructuring. The company highlighted a rising loan pipeline, sustained production, and improved new loan yields as signals of optimism for loan growth and net interest margin in the coming quarters, specifically referencing expectations for the remainder of 2025. Deposit migration was attributed to normal cyclical flows without underlying commercial account attrition.
