Total portfolio loans grew $99.0 million, or 5.0% annualized, from March 31, 2026, while total deposits fell $99.1 million due to a $100.4 million decline in brokered deposits; customer deposits were stable after year-to-date growth of $307.7 million. Net charge-offs were $1.0 million, or 0.05% of average loans, and nonperforming assets fell $9.7 million to $40.2 million, or 0.50% of loans plus OREO.

Strategy

Management described the quarter as disciplined execution of its strategy, citing solid earnings and returns, good loan growth, stable deposits and favorable asset quality. The company is actively managing capital, repurchasing 1,074,924 shares at an average price of $44.24 for $47.6 million in Q2 2026. It is repositioning the securities portfolio into longer duration, higher yielding securities, incurring a $1.7 million loss offset largely by a $1.9 million gain on Visa Class B-2 common stock conversion. Funding mix improved as average brokered deposits fell $146.2 million while average interest-bearing customer deposits rose $119.8 million versus Q1 2026.

Risks

• Commercial credit concentration — The company states a significant higher concentration of commercial loans, where repayment depends on borrower cash flow and general economic conditions.
• Collateral insufficiency — Declines in collateral values for CRE and C&I loans could leave loans under-collateralized and impair borrowers' ability to repay.
• Underwriting effectiveness — S&T warns that if its models or underwriting standards fail to capture rapid economic changes, it may incur higher credit losses.
• Rising charge-off trend in commercial and industrial loans — Net charge-offs to average loans for commercial and industrial rose to 0.38% in 2025 from 0.17% in 2024, and the ACL-to-nonaccrual coverage fell to 168% from 363%.
