FS Bancorp stock faces a quarterly EPS miss against estimates

FS Bancorp stock faces a quarterly EPS miss after the bank reported diluted earnings of USD 1.04 against a USD 1.08 forecast for its latest reported quarter. Investing.com lists the results under the July 21, 2026 release date, making the earnings gap the clearest company-specific issue for FSBW investors.
Revenue improves sequentially
The same quarter produced USD 36.16 million in revenue, up from USD 35.42 million in the previous quarter. That is a 2.1 percent sequential increase, while net income rose to USD 7.94 million from USD 7.83 million, a 1.4 percent gain.
The earnings mix is therefore uneven: top-line revenue and net income improved, but diluted EPS remained below the USD 1.08 consensus. The comparison matters because the stock is valued on recurring bank earnings rather than revenue growth alone.
Analysts see limited upside
Investing.com shows three analysts with a Neutral consensus, expressed through three Hold ratings, and an average 12-month price target of USD 45.00. Against the USD 44.11 last price on October 6, 2026, the target lies 2.0 percent above the price.
The limited gap between the market price and consensus target leaves earnings execution as the more important near-term variable. A separate MarketBeat report said Brean Capital cut its rating from Buy to Neutral with a USD 45.00 target on July 27, 2026. The same report identified an insider sale of 1,694 shares at an average USD 42.72 on August 25, 2026.
FSBW stays below its yearly high
FSBW was last at USD 44.11 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down USD 0.32 or 0.72 percent from the prior close of USD 44.43. The session range was USD 43.95 to USD 44.78 on volume of 19,134 shares.
The stock remains below its 52-week high of USD 45.85 and above its 52-week low of USD 36.66. Its USD 327.1 million market capitalization places the company in the small-cap regional-bank segment, where a modest EPS miss can matter more than a 2.1 percent revenue increase.
