AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Columbia Financial, Inc./MD/ (CLBK)

Columbia Financial Q2 net income rises 17.7% to $14.5 million; $0.05 dividend set

Positive Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Columbia Financial, Inc. (CLBK) reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $14.5 million, or $0.14 per share, up from $12.3 million, or $0.12 per share, a year earlier, and announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The company said net interest margin expansion drove the higher core net income, partly offset by merger-related costs and a higher tax rate. The filing states that the Northfield Bancorp acquisition and second-step conversion were completed in July 2026, after the June 30 quarter-end, so the reported results do not include Northfield.

Key points

  • Q2 2026 net income $14.5 million ($0.14 per share) vs. $12.3 million ($0.12 per share) in Q2 2025; core net income $15.1 million ($0.15 per share)
  • Net interest margin 2.44% in Q2 2026, up 25 basis points from 2.19% a year earlier
