Stock Yards Bancorp reports Q3 EPS $1.23, consensus $1.16

“We delivered another record quarter, marked by strong loan production and our sixth consecutive quarter of loan growth across all markets,” commented James A. (Ja) Hillebrand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While elevated loan payoffs tempered overall growth during the quarter, underlying loan demand remains steady. Credit quality continues to be strong and stable, supported by prudent underwriting standards and disciplined portfolio management. Additionally, we are proud to report that just three quarters after our Indianapolis market surpassed $1 billion in total loans, our Cincinnati market reached that same milestone during the third quarter for the first time since entering the market in 2007. These achievements reflect our sustained progress and disciplined growth strategy.”
