National Bankshares, Inc., headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia, operates as the parent company of The National Bank of Blacksburg and National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc., providing community banking services across southwestern, western, and central Virginia. The company is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ‘NKSH’.
National Bankshares, Inc. reported a significant improvement in its financial performance for the nine months ending September 30, 2025. The company achieved a net income of $9.95 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, marking a substantial increase from $4.54 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the same period of the previous year. This growth is attributed to improved loan yields and reduced deposit costs, enhancing the net interest margin.
Key financial metrics reveal a robust performance, with net interest income rising to $32.92 million from $26.34 million year-over-year. The company’s strategic initiatives, including the expansion of its branch network and technological upgrades, have bolstered its market position in Virginia. Additionally, the acquisition of Frontier Community Bank in 2024 contributed to increased service charges and BOLI income, reflecting positively on noninterest income.
Despite higher noninterest expenses due to system upgrades and the integration of acquired operations, the company’s efficiency ratio improved to 62.57% from 68.93% a year earlier. National Bankshares also strengthened its securities portfolio with a $49.86 million purchase, funded by borrowings, which is expected to yield benefits post-2026.
Looking ahead, National Bankshares remains focused on expanding its services and responding to community needs while delivering shareholder value. The company is well-capitalized, with strong liquidity and a solid credit quality, positioning it favorably for future growth in its regional markets.
