The deal meaningfully increases the company’s asset base, which can change its business mix, funding profile and earnings drivers as First Savings’ operations are integrated. First Merchants’ share price is around $43.75, with the stock up 16.7% year to date, indicating investors have recently rewarded the company during a period that included the First Savings acquisition. This acquisition gives First Merchants a larger balance sheet and a wider footprint, which can influence how it prices loans and deposits, manages credit risk and allocates capital. The main watchpoint is execution: integration costs, systems alignment and any shifts in credit quality from the acquired book can all affect returns and the timing of any financial benefits.お知らせ • Jul 03First Merchants Corporation Announces Resignation of Mung Chiang from the Board of Directors, Effective July 1, 2026First Merchants Corporation announced that on July 1, 2026, Dr. Mung Chiang notified the Company of his resignation from the Company's Board of Directors, effective July 1, 2026.

The company can execute repurchases through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which gives management flexibility on timing and volume based on market conditions and internal priorities. First Merchants shares trade at $42.59, with the stock up 13.6% year to date.

It also concentrates exposure for remaining holders if business conditions weaken.Recent Insider Transactions • Jun 15Director recently sold US$835k worth of stockOn the 12th of June, Larry Myers sold around 20k shares on-market at roughly US$41.75 per share.

Adjusted EPS came in at US$1.03, about 9.6% higher year over year and roughly 6.6%–7.3% above estimates, supported by net interest margin expansion and fee income growth. The quarter included sizeable one-time items, including a US$29.8 million loss on reclassified mortgage loans and US$17 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the February 1 purchase of First Savings Financial Group, which added US$2.46 billion in assets and 127 banking centers. The earnings profile in Q1 appears heavily shaped by repositioning moves and acquisition accounting, so it may help to separate one-time charges from the underlying margin and fee trends when assessing the bank’s progress. Investors may want to watch how quickly integration costs taper off, whether deposit mix and loan growth targets hold up, and how effectively the company executes on its plan to fund higher-yielding commercial loans after selling lower-yield mortgages.お知らせ • May 21+ 1 more updateFirst Merchants Corporation announces Quarterly dividend, payable on June 19, 2026First Merchants Corporation announced Quarterly dividend of USD 0.3700 per share payable on June 19, 2026, ex-date on June 05, 2026 and record date on June 05, 2026.お知らせ • Apr 24First Merchants Corporation Reports Net Charge Offs for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026First Merchants Corporation reported net charge offs for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

FRME's common shares offer a compelling risk/reward profile, trading at under 10x earnings and below 1.5x tangible book value.

This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Reported Earnings • Jul 24Second quarter 2025 earnings: EPS exceeds analyst expectations while revenues lag behindSecond quarter 2025 results: EPS: US$0.98 (up from US$0.68 in 2Q 2024).

ライブニュース • Jul 16First Merchants Completes First Savings Acquisition Adding $2.4 Billion in AssetsFirst Merchants has completed its acquisition of First Savings, adding $2.4 billion in assets and broadening its ability to serve clients across Indiana and other markets. The deal meaningfully increases the company’s asset base, which can change its business mix, funding profile and earnings drivers as First Savings’ operations are integrated. First Merchants’ share price is around $43.75, with the stock up 16.7% year to date, indicating investors have recently rewarded the company during a period that included the First Savings acquisition. This acquisition gives First Merchants a larger balance sheet and a wider footprint, which can influence how it prices loans and deposits, manages credit risk and allocates capital. The main watchpoint is execution: integration costs, systems alignment and any shifts in credit quality from the acquired book can all affect returns and the timing of any financial benefits.

The company can execute repurchases through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which gives management flexibility on timing and volume based on market conditions and internal priorities. First Merchants shares trade at $42.59, with the stock up 13.6% year to date. This new buyback framework reflects an active capital return policy and could reduce the share count if fully used, which may affect per-share metrics. It also concentrates exposure for remaining holders if business conditions weaken.

ライブニュース • May 22First Merchants Q1 Earnings Beat as Acquisition and Loan Moves Reshape OutlookFirst Merchants reported Q1 2026 revenue of US$157.13 million, which was 2%–5.6% lower year over year and about 12.75% below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS came in at US$1.03, about 9.6% higher year over year and roughly 6.6%–7.3% above estimates, supported by net interest margin expansion and fee income growth. The quarter included sizeable one-time items, including a US$29.8 million loss on reclassified mortgage loans and US$17 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the February 1 purchase of First Savings Financial Group, which added US$2.46 billion in assets and 127 banking centers. The earnings profile in Q1 appears heavily shaped by repositioning moves and acquisition accounting, so it may help to separate one-time charges from the underlying margin and fee trends when assessing the bank’s progress. Investors may want to watch how quickly integration costs taper off, whether deposit mix and loan growth targets hold up, and how effectively the company executes on its plan to fund higher-yielding commercial loans after selling lower-yield mortgages.

New Risk • Jul 30New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.01% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
