Cost of funds decreased by 21 basis points from the Q3 to the Q4 and 17 basis points year-over-year. Our efficiency ratio decreased from 43.19% in 2024 to 41.03% in 2025, net income increased by 35%, or $15.9M in 2025, and earnings per share increased by 64c during 2025 to $2.90. We also experienced continued improvement in net interest margin expansion. We have provided a consistent shareholder dividend and, in recognition of our strong financial performance and commitment to returning value to our investors, we are pleased to announce an increase in the dividend this quarter. As we look ahead to 2026, we believe that managing expenses and executing on conservative underwriting practices will continue to be foundational to our success."

Overweight -> Equal Weight

Reason

Stephens downgraded Five Star Bancorp to Equal Weight from Overweight with a $37 price target. Following what the firm calls a "strong"Q3, it thinks the business model remains intact with go-forward growth prospects "arguably continuing to get better." However, its downgrade is reflective "more of what we view as a pretty fair current relative valuation," telling investors it would prefer to become more constructive on shares again at a better entry point.
