NYSE:HTB Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Jan 2026
NYSE:HTB Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Jan 2026

31.2% net margin and earnings growth

  • Over the last 12 months, HomeTrust Bancshares converted US$206.1 million of revenue into US$64.4 million of net income, which works out to a 31.2% net profit margin compared with 28.1% a year earlier and 18.6% earnings growth over that same period.
  • What is interesting for a more bullish read is that five year earnings growth averaged 24.1% per year, which is higher than the most recent 18.6% pace, while net margin still moved from 28.1% to 31.2%, so:
    • Supporters of the bullish case can point to that longer term 24.1% annual earnings trend and a higher margin as evidence the business has produced solid profits over multiple years.
    • At the same time, the step down from 24.1% longer term growth to 18.6% in the latest year gives bulls something to watch because it shows growth has not matched the earlier pace even as margins improved.

Loan book steady, credit metrics mixed

  • Total loans stayed close to the mid US$3.6b range across the data provided, from US$3,698.9 million in Q3 FY 2024 to US$3,671.9 million in Q2 FY 2025 and US$3,643.6 million in Q3 FY 2025, while non performing loans moved between US$26.0 million and US$32.6 million over those periods.
  • Bears looking at credit risk might highlight that non performing loans rose from about US$26.0 million in Q1 FY 2025 to US$32.6 million by Q3 FY 2025 even though loan balances hovered around US$3.6b, because:
    • That increase in non performing loans contrasts with the otherwise steady loan balance, so critics may focus on the mix and quality of loans rather than just headline size.
    • However, the profit data showing US$64.4 million of net income over the last 12 months indicates that, so far, these credit metrics have sat alongside solid reported profitability.

Valuation gap versus DCF fair value

  • The recent share price of US$44.21 is well below both the cited DCF fair value of about US$80.25 and the only allowed analyst price target of US$48.88, while the trailing P/E of 11.9x sits under the peer average of 15.2x and the industry at 12.1x.
  • Supporters of a more bullish stance could argue that this combination of a 31.2% profit margin, 18.6% earnings growth and a share price below both the US$80.25 DCF fair value and the US$48.88 price target heavily supports the idea of a valuation gap, yet:
    • The same data set also includes forecasts for about a 2.4% annual earnings decline over the next three years, which gives a clear reason why some investors may treat that apparent discount with caution.
    • This push and pull between strong trailing earnings and the projected 2.4% decline is at the core of how investors may interpret the current 11.9x P/E against higher peer and industry multiples.
