Great Southern Bancorp stock (ISIN US3909051076) was last at USD 79.27 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, after gaining 1.49 percent during the session. The bank holding company is approaching its next earnings event, with preliminary third-quarter results scheduled for October 21, 2026, according to Great Southern Bancorp.

October 21 results set the tone

The company plans to publish preliminary third-quarter earnings after the market closes on October 21, 2026. A conference call is scheduled for October 22, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. ET, giving investors a near-term checkpoint for loan demand, funding costs and credit quality.

The timing matters because second-quarter earnings showed both resilience and pressure. In the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Great Southern Bancorp reported USD 15.8 million of net income and GAAP diluted EPS of USD 1.43, compared with USD 19.8 million and USD 1.72 in the year-earlier quarter, according to Great Southern Bancorp. Net income therefore declined by 20.2 percent, while diluted EPS declined by 16.9 percent.

Adjusted earnings beat consensus

Excluding one-time branch consolidation and severance costs, second-quarter non-GAAP net income was USD 17.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS was USD 1.57. The adjusted EPS figure exceeded the USD 1.38 consensus estimate by USD 0.19, according to MarketBeat.

The same quarter also included USD 2.1 million of one-time costs tied to branch consolidation and severance. The company said the consolidation of nine branches and elimination of 66 positions should improve annual pretax income by USD 2.3 million to USD 2.7 million starting in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to Great Southern Bancorp.

Dividend payment follows October 14

Great Southern Bancorp declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.43 per share payable on October 14, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 28, 2026, according to GlobeNewswire. The payment is the next concrete shareholder date before the October earnings release.

At USD 79.27, the stock stood USD 3.64 below its 52-week high of USD 82.91 and above its 52-week low of USD 53.76 on October 2, 2026. Trading volume was 61,536 shares, and market capitalization was USD 863.5 million on that date.
