▲(6.93% Upside)
Action:DowngradedDate:02/24/26
The score is driven primarily by solid but not best-in-class fundamentals: good profitability and improving leverage are offset by revenue instability and uneven cash-flow consistency. Technicals are moderately supportive with neutral momentum, while valuation is favorable (P/E ~12 and a ~2.17% dividend). Earnings call commentary and 2026 guidance add a positive tilt, despite acknowledged deposit and expense headwinds.
Positive Factors
Improving Leverage & Capital
Material deleveraging since 2022 and rising equity provide durable balance-sheet resilience for a regional bank. Stronger capital ratios increase loss-absorption, support measured buybacks/dividends, and preserve optionality for opportunistic M&A or loan growth without pressuring regulatory buffers.
Healthy Profitability & Margins
Sustained, above-average operating and net margins indicate structurally profitable core banking and wealth operations. Consistent ROE near double digits supports internal capital generation, dividend capacity, and competitive reinvestment even if top-line growth moderates over the medium term.
Diversified Fee Income & Wealth/Mortgage Strength
Growing wealth and mortgage franchises diversify revenue beyond interest income, reducing sensitivity to loan cycle swings. Durable fee streams and improved MSR hedging enhance earnings stability, supporting noninterest income growth and smoothing net income across rate and credit cycles.
Negative Factors
Revenue Volatility
Persistent top-line volatility undermines earnings predictability and makes margin maintenance harder over time. If revenue falls short, incremental expenses and credit costs can erode profits faster than capital can absorb, limiting strategic investments and increasing execution risk over the next several quarters.
Inconsistent Free Cash Flow
Irregular FCF growth reduces the firm’s reliable internal funding for dividends, buybacks, and balance-sheet growth. Multiyear FCF inconsistency means the bank may rely more on capital markets or restrict capital returns during stress, constraining strategic flexibility across economic cycles.
Deposit Volatility & Rising Expenses
Concentration in public funds and quarter-to-quarter deposit swings increase funding cost and liquidity management complexity. Concurrent expense growth from investments and merit increases pressures efficiency and could compress durable margins if deposit trends or funding costs worsen.

Trustmark Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 27, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized a strong 2025 with record revenue and net income, solid balance sheet growth, improving credit metrics, and continued investment in talent and wealth/mortgage businesses. While there are manageable near-term headwinds — quarter-to-quarter deposit volatility (public funds), modest expense growth, and a one-time NIM impact — guidance for 2026 is constructive (mid-single digit growth across loans, deposits, NII, noninterest income and expense) and capital management is balanced between buybacks, dividends and optional M&A. Highlights materially outweigh the lowlights.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Record Full-Year Net Income and EPS
Trustmark reported record 2025 net income of $224.1 million and diluted EPS of $3.70. Q4 net income was $57.9 million with diluted EPS of $0.97, up 3.2% linked-quarter and 5.4% year-over-year.
Strong Year-over-Year Earnings Growth
Net income from adjusted continuing operations increased $37.8 million, or 20.3% in 2025, contributing to a return on average assets of 1.21% and return on average tangible equity of 12.97%.
Revenue and Net Interest Income Milestones
Total revenue was $204 million in Q4 and a record $800 million for the full year. Full-year net interest income totaled $647 million, up 8.4% year-over-year, and Q4 NII was $166 million with a NIM of 3.81% (adjusted NIM 3.83%).
Loan and Deposit Growth (Year-over-Year)
Loans held for investment grew $584 million (4.5% year-over-year) and deposits increased $392 million (2.6% year-over-year), driven by $568 million growth in commercial and personal balances.
Improved Wealth & Mortgage Performance
Wealth Management revenue reached an all-time high and Mortgage Banking showed increased production and significant profitability improvement, aided by improving MSR hedging dynamics and asset value recovery.
Prudent Capital Management and Shareholder Returns
Repurchased $80 million of common stock in 2025 (including $43 million in Q4), representing ~3.5% of outstanding shares at YE 2024; Board increased quarterly dividend 4.2% to $0.25 (FY dividend $1.00). Company returned ~61.8% of 2025 net income to shareholders.
Solid Credit Metrics and Reserve Position
Full-year net charge-offs were ~13 bps of average loans; Q4 net charge-offs were $7.6 million (0.22% of average loans) and the allowance for credit losses was 1.15% of loans held for investment at year-end, reflecting improved credit quality (criticized down $181M; classified down $57M for the year).
Capital Ratios Strengthened
Issued $170 million of 6% fixed-to-floating subordinated debt in Q4 (used to repay $125 million existing sub debt), ending the year with CET1 ratio of 11.72% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.41%.
Negative Updates
Quarterly Deposit Decline and Public Funds Volatility
Deposits declined $131 million (0.8%) linked-quarter in Q4, driven primarily by a $219 million decrease in public fund deposits, highlighting some short-term funding volatility.
Noninterest Expense Growth
Noninterest expense rose $1.2 million (0.9%) linked-quarter and totaled $512 million for the year, up 5.5% year-over-year, reflecting ongoing investments and annual merit/bonus cadence that could pressure near-term efficiency.
Q4 Net Charge-Offs Impacted by One Large Loan
Q4 net charge-offs included one individually analyzed loan totaling $5.9 million (part of $7.6 million total NCOs in the quarter), resulting in a higher quarterly NCO rate of 0.22% of average loans despite a lower full-year rate.
NIM Slightly Pressured by One-Time Recognition
NIM declined 2 basis points linked-quarter to 3.81% largely due to $1.1 million of accelerated recognition related to sub debt refinancing; adjusted NIM would have remained 3.83% but demonstrates sensitivity to one-time items.
Buyback Authorization vs. Practical Deployment
While a $100 million buyback authorization was announced for 2026, management indicated a realistic buyback range of $60-70 million to maintain CET1 near current levels, limiting upside return of capital under conservative capital targets.
M&A Uncertainty and Market Disruption
Management signaled increased market disruption and competing M&A activity in core markets, which could both create opportunities and lead to local client/personnel disruption; they remain opportunistic but may choose to prioritize organic growth.
Company Guidance
Trustmark’s 2026 guidance calls for loans held for investment and deposits (excluding brokered) to each grow mid-single digits, securities balances to remain stable as cash flows are reinvested, net interest margin to run about 3.80%–3.85% (Q4 NIM was 3.81%, adjusted 3.83%), net interest income to increase mid-single digits, noninterest income and noninterest expense each to rise mid-single digits, and total provision for credit losses to “normalize” (management cited a provisioning range of roughly 14–18 bps of average loans with net charge-offs around 13–15 bps). Additional metrics and capital priorities: Q4 cost of total deposits was 1.72% with Q1 expected near 1.61% (Jan month-to-date ~1.63%), year-end allowance for credit losses was 1.15% of loans held for investment, CET1 was 11.72% (total risk-based 14.41%) with expectations to finish 2026 slightly above 12% absent large buybacks, a $100M 2026 repurchase authorization is in place (management indicated a likely $60–70M buyback range to balance capital), tangible book value per share was $30.28, and the quarterly dividend was raised 4.2% to $0.25 ($1.00 annual).

Trustmark Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Profitability is solid (2025 operating margin ~25.5%, net margin ~20%) and leverage has improved meaningfully since 2022 (debt-to-equity down to ~0.53 in 2025) with steady ~10–11% ROE. Offsetting this, revenue has been volatile and notably negative in 2024–2025, and cash-flow trends are uneven with multiple years of negative FCF growth despite 2025 FCF matching net income.
Income Statement
62
Positive
Profitability is solid overall, with 2025 showing strong operating profitability (operating margin ~25.5%) and healthy bottom-line profitability (net margin ~20.0%). However, revenue has been volatile and recently weak: revenue growth is negative in 2024 and sharply negative in 2025, which raises questions about earnings durability despite stable net income. Margins also swung meaningfully across years, indicating less consistency than top-tier peers.
Balance Sheet
68
Positive
Leverage looks manageable for a regional bank, with debt-to-equity improving versus the 2022 peak (from ~1.16 in 2022 down to ~0.53 in 2025). Equity has grown over time (2025 equity ~$2.12B vs. ~$1.49B in 2022), supporting balance-sheet resilience. Returns on equity are steady around ~10–11% in 2023–2025, though not meaningfully accelerating, and the historical leverage spike in 2022 highlights that capital structure can shift materially.
Cash Flow
55
Neutral
Cash generation is generally supportive of earnings, with 2025 free cash flow matching net income (free cash flow to net income = 1.0) and operating cash flow also improving versus 2024. The main weakness is the lack of consistency: free cash flow growth is negative in multiple years (including 2023–2025), and operating cash flow relative to the company’s asset/debt footprint appears modest based on the provided coverage figures, suggesting less cash-flow cushion than the income statement alone might imply.
