On January 22, 2026, Bar Harbor Bankshares reported fourth-quarter 2025 GAAP net income of $11.8 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, and core earnings of $15.5 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, reflecting higher profitability than the prior quarter as commercial loans expanded at an 8% annualized pace and net interest margin widened to 3.62%. The bank highlighted stable total assets of $4.7 billion, modest loan growth to $3.6 billion, a steady allowance for credit losses at $34.1 million, and improved book and tangible book value per share, while acknowledging deposit declines tied to seasonality and brokered deposit maturities that were offset by increased wholesale borrowings.

Spark’s Take on BHB Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BHB is a Outperform.

Bar Harbor Bankshares scores well due to strong technical indicators and positive corporate events, including a strategic acquisition and dividend announcement. While financial performance is solid, challenges in cash flow management and moderate return on equity suggest areas for improvement. The valuation is reasonable, supported by a healthy dividend yield.
