FirstSun Capital Bancorp Reports Q2 Net Loss Amid Merger Integration
FirstSun Capital Bancorp (NASDAQ:FSUN) reported a $23 million net loss for the second quarter of 2026, or $0.49 per diluted share, primarily due to $44 million in after-tax merger expenses and $30 million in credit-loss provisions following its acquisition of First Foundation in April. The company completed balance-sheet reductions totaling approximately $3.9 billion across loans, securities, deposits, and borrowings, aiming to reduce risk exposure and improve funding flexibility. Management highlighted progress on integration efforts and expects continued margin improvement after a net interest margin of 3.76% was recorded in June. Despite credit losses concentrated in two large loans, the company authorized up to $150 million for share repurchases and anticipates low-double-digit loan growth for the remainder of 2026.
