â–²(5.98% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:10/23/26
Overall score reflects solid underlying financial stability and improving leverage, reinforced by a strongly positive earnings call highlighting record results and continued margin expansion potential. The main constraints are mixed technicals (still below longer-term moving averages with stretched oscillators) and only moderately attractive valuation support.
Positive Factors
Record earnings growth
Record profitability and accelerating year-over-year earnings show that Glacier is converting balance-sheet growth into stronger results. This improves internal capital generation and provides a durable base for continued investment, lending expansion, and shareholder distributions.
Negative Factors
Rising deposit-cost risk
Higher deposit costs could absorb part of the benefit from asset repricing and limit future net interest margin gains. Funding competition may intensify as rates change, making profitability more dependent on retaining deposits at attractive costs across the franchise.

Glacier Bancorp Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Oct 22, 2026
(Q3-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jan 28, 2027
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call was strongly positive, with record net income, accelerating year-over-year earnings, a net interest margin above 4% for the first time, broad-based deposit growth, disciplined loan growth, excellent credit quality, improved efficiency, and additional asset repricing opportunities. The main cautions were seasonal loan-growth moderation, potential increases in deposit costs, expenses expected near the high end of guidance, economic and geopolitical uncertainty, and a nonrecurring fair value benefit in prior-quarter noninterest income. Highlights significantly outweighed the lowlights.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Management remains comfortable with its low to mid-single-digit outlook for loan growth; investment cash flows are being reinvested roughly 350 basis points higher than the current runoff yield, approximately $3.5 billion of loans will reprice up 125 to 150 basis points in the next 12 months, and margin is expected to continue expanding throughout ’27. Historically, margin has been 4% to 4.5%, with some things that could lift it towards the higher end of the range, although management cannot put a time frame on reaching 4.5%. Deposit beta is expected to be somewhere in the range of 20% to 25%, with early-cycle beta closer to the lower end. Fourth-quarter expenses are guided to $187 million to $192 million, likely towards the high end, while full-year expenses should remain within $750 million to $760 million, probably closer to $757 million; fourth-quarter efficiency is expected to be 54% to 55%. Securities runoff will likely be reinvested, other fees are expected to have a $40 million run rate, and the tax rate is expected to come in right around 21% for the fourth quarter and right around 21% for the full year.Glacier Bancorp Financial Statement Overview
