As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 23, 2026.
Univest Financial missed on both earnings and revenue as a $5.2M asset writedown and spike in nonperforming assets to $63M overshadowed 11% growth in net interest income, signaling credit stress beneath the surface.

Univest Financial reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.82, coming in about 6% below the consensus estimate of $0.87. Revenue of $84.4 million also fell short of the $86.7 million analysts had expected. The twin misses stand out because, just a quarter prior, Univest had posted a strong $0.98 EPS in Q4 2025 against an estimate of $0.83, continuing a streak of beats that stretched back through 2024.
The headline numbers mask a more troubling story underneath. A $5.2 million asset writedown weighed directly on earnings, while nonperforming assets jumped to $63 million — a sign that credit quality in the loan book is deteriorating. Those pressures overshadowed what was otherwise an encouraging 11% increase in net interest income, the core driver of profitability for a community bank like Univest.
