Did BFC Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results

Yes. Bank First reported Q3 2025 earnings of $1.83 a share on Oct 21, 2025, beating the $1.81 consensus estimate by 1.1%. Revenue was $44.3M against a $44.2M estimate.

Bank First Corporation delivered a solid third quarter, posting earnings per share of $1.83 against a consensus estimate of $1.81, a beat of 1.10%, while revenue of $44.30 million edged past the $44.15 million forecast by 0.34%, even as reported revenue fell 23.4% year over year. The primary engine behind the quarter's performance was a meaningful expansion in net interest income, which climbed to $38.30 million, up $2.40 million from a year ago, as loan repricing and new originations pushed yields higher while maturing CDs repriced at lower rates, widening the net interest margin to 3.88% from 3.76% in Q3 2024. GAAP net income rose to $18.00 million, or $1.83 per share, compared to $16.60 million, or $1.65 per share, a year earlier, with the improvement coming increasingly from organic margin expansion rather than acquisition-related accretion. Analysts covering the stock carry a buy rating with a median price target of $141.00, and management sees continued loan repricing as a tailwind heading into 2026, when the pending acquisition of First National Bank & Trust in Beloit, Wisconsin is scheduled to close on January 1.

Key Takeaways
  • Mid-single-digit loan expansion driving net interest income growth
  • Loan yield repricing boosted average loan portfolio rate by 10 basis points quarter-over-quarter
  • Maturing CD repricing reduced average cost of interest-bearing liabilities by 7 basis points
  • Net interest margin expanded to 3.88% from 3.72% in Q2 2025 and 3.76% in Q3 2024
  • Higher noninterest income from Ansay & Associates, mortgage loan sales, and positive MSR valuation adjustment
  • Strong asset quality with negligible net loan losses

“We are pleased to report that earnings per share through the first three quarters of 2025 increased by nearly 13% compared to the same period last year, despite incurring over $891,000 in merger expenses related to our acquisition of First National Bank & Trust in Beloit Wisconsin, which is scheduled to close on January 1, 2026.”

Bank First CEO, on the earnings call

What Was Bank First's Outlook in Q3 2025?

Management expects loan repricing to continue boosting loan portfolio yields for some time. The acquisition of First National Bank & Trust in Beloit, Wisconsin is scheduled to close on January 1, 2026, which will further expand the Bank's footprint.
