An update from Colony Bankcorp ( (CBAN) ) is now available.
On January 24, 2026, Colony Bank renewed Chief Financial Officer Derek Shelnutt’s employment with a new two-year agreement that maintains him as CFO of both the holding company and the bank, sets a $300,000 annual base salary with performance-based bonus eligibility, and outlines severance protections of up to 1.5 times salary and prior-year bonus in certain termination and change-in-control scenarios, alongside non-compete and non-solicitation covenants. On January 28, 2026, the company reported stronger fourth-quarter 2025 results, with net income rising to $7.8 million and operating net income to $8.9 million, driven by higher net interest income, an expanded net interest margin, loan and deposit growth largely tied to the December 1, 2025 acquisition of TC Bancshares’ TC Federal, and higher noninterest income, while also noting increased credit loss provisions, higher noninterest expenses from integration costs and a wire-fraud loss, a larger credit loss reserve, and a solid capital position; the board raised the quarterly dividend to $0.12 per share, underscoring confidence in the bank’s capital strength and earnings trajectory for shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (CBAN) stock is a Buy with a $21.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Colony Bankcorp stock, see the CBAN Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on CBAN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CBAN is a Outperform.
CBAN scores well on fundamentals, driven by sustained revenue/earnings growth and solid cash conversion, but is held back by cash-flow variability and leverage/reporting comparability questions. Technicals are supportive with price above key moving averages and positive MACD, while valuation is attractive with a low P/E and a moderate dividend. Earnings-call commentary and recent events add modest support via margin expansion and merger progress, tempered by expense pressure and credit/mortgage headwinds.
