Simmons First National Corporation reported a third-quarter 2025 net loss of $562.8 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, compared with net income of $54.8 million in the second quarter. The loss mainly reflects an $801.5 million pre-tax loss on the sale of about $2.4 billion of low-yielding securities, part of a balance sheet repositioning funded by a roughly $327 million equity offering. Adjusted diluted EPS rose to $0.46 from $0.44 in the second quarter, but the GAAP loss sharply reduced shareholders' equity and book value per share.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.
Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
