The latest update is out from LINKBANCORP ( (LNKB) ).
On January 22, 2026, LINKBANCORP’s board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, payable on March 16, 2026 to shareholders of record on February 27, 2026, underscoring continued capital returns despite a weaker fourth quarter. The bank reported net income of $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, down sharply from $7.8 million in the prior quarter due to a full $5 million impairment on a single commercial lending relationship tied to purported fraudulent activity identified in January 2026, but delivered record full-year 2025 earnings of $33.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, up 26.8% from 2024. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net income rose to $11.7 million in the quarter and $41.8 million for the year, tangible book value per share climbed 15.7% year over year, and the bank logged robust commercial loan growth and 10.9% adjusted deposit growth, even as year-end deposits dipped sequentially on seasonal outflows. These results, alongside a stable net interest margin and expanding balance sheet, come as LINKBANCORP advances a strategic all-stock merger with Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. announced on December 18, 2025, which is expected to create a roughly $11 billion-asset Mid-Atlantic community banking franchise, potentially strengthening the company’s competitive position and scale for stakeholders once customary approvals and closing conditions are met.
The most recent analyst rating on (LNKB) stock is a Buy with a $10.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on LINKBANCORP stock, see the LNKB Stock Forecast page.
