FirstSun Capital Bancorp Reports Q3 2026 Earnings Growth Driven by First Foundation Integration
FirstSun Capital Bancorp (FSUN) reported strong third-quarter results for 2026, highlighted by an adjusted net income of $48.2 million and an adjusted EPS of $1.03, a significant increase from the previous quarter's $0.45. The company successfully integrated First Foundation, achieving 70% of its $68.8 million cost-savings target. Net interest margin expanded by 24 basis points to 3.82%, aided by higher loan yields and the strategic removal of high-cost certificates of deposit. The bank is actively repositioning its balance sheet by shifting toward variable-rate commercial and industrial lending while reducing exposure to lower-yielding multifamily sectors. Despite facing intensifying competition for deposits, FirstSun maintained strong capital flexibility, executing $49.7 million in common share repurchases. Management provided optimistic guidance for Q4, projecting mid-single-digit growth for loans and deposits alongside continued margin expansion.
