AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

As a Graham-style analyst, I start with what is knowable. Landmark Bancorp is a small regional bank holding company with 273 employees, earning money from spread lending in local communities. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, it reported net income of $5.4M and diluted EPS of $0.88. In fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-03-31, net income was $5.1M and EPS $0.83. Full-year FY2025 net income was $18.8M, EPS $3.07, up from FY2024 net income of $13.0M and EPS $2.15. That recent profit improvement is real. On the other hand, the FairStock Lynch category is SLOW GROWER — Shrinking: profit -0.7% a year over five years, so the long record is uneven. At the $31.42 close on 2026-10-13, FairStock calculations show P/E 9.58, P/B 1.15, ROE 12.77%, dividend yield 2.67%, beta 0.38, and Piotroski F-score 4/9. The price is not demanding if earnings hold, and P/B near 1.15 gives little premium to accounting net assets. But a bank is a leveraged trust business. Without CET1, net interest margin, nonperforming loans, reserve coverage or tangible book, I cannot judge credit and capital strength. D/E is N/A, and FCF/EV metrics do not apply. ROE near 13% is respectable but not franchise-level. The low beta and dividend help, yet slow long-term profit growth and a mediocre F-score temper the apparent cheapness. I would want stable ROE, consistent EPS, and clear capital and credit metrics before calling it a high-quality bargain.

In plain English: Landmark Bancorp is a small bank holding company that takes deposits and makes loans in local communities. It earned $5.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and $18.8 million in 2025, so recent profits look solid, though the longer-term record is mixed. The stock price looks modest compared with recent profits and net assets, but important banking safety details are not available.
