Cadence Bank's stock plummeted 5.08% during intraday trading on Thursday, following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results before the market opened.
The regional bank reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.85, beating the IBES estimate of $0.80. However, investors appeared focused on the company's credit loss provision of $28 million for the quarter, which may have raised concerns about asset quality and future profitability.
Additionally, Huntington Bancshares mentioned in its own earnings report that its partnership with Cadence Bank is expected to close on February 1, 2026. While strategic partnerships can drive growth, market reaction to Cadence's earnings suggests investor caution amid the detailed financial metrics released.
