QCR Holdings (ISIN US74727A1043) stood at EUR 87.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 4:10 p.m. CEST, with a plus 0.29 percent change versus the prior close of EUR 87.00. MarketBeat reported on October 3, 2026, that Raymond James upgraded QCR Holdings to a Moderate Buy rating.

Three dates shape the setup

MarketBeat reported that QCR Holdings posted USD 2.19 in diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 on July 22, 2026, versus USD 1.91 consensus. The same report put quarterly revenue at USD 97.34 million versus USD 104.10 million expected.

Simply Wall St reported that the board declared a USD 0.15 quarterly dividend on August 20, 2026, up from USD 0.10. The October 3 rating action is the latest of these three dated developments.

What does the rating change measure?

The upgrade sits against mixed second-quarter evidence: earnings per share exceeded consensus by USD 0.28, while revenue missed its estimate by USD 6.76 million. That split gives the rating a specific operational context, with profitability outperforming expectations while the top line remained below the analyst benchmark.

MarketBeat said four analysts rated QCR Holdings a Buy and three rated it a Hold, with a consensus target of USD 110.60 on October 3, 2026. The same report cited a 52-week range of USD 66.65 to USD 108.11 and a market capitalization of USD 1.65 billion.

Results arrive on October 20

QCR Holdings announced on September 30, 2026, that it will release third-quarter 2026 results after the market closes on October 20, 2026. The company scheduled its conference call and webcast for October 21, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

For investors, the next report will test whether the second-quarter earnings advantage can continue while revenue remains below consensus. On Nasdaq, QCRH was last at USD 97.50 on October 8, 2026 at 10:22 a.m. EDT, within a 52-week range of USD 66.65 to USD 108.11.
