Primis Financial Corp (FRST) saw its share price increase by 44% over the past year, driven by strong second-quarter 2026 results including a 34% year-over-year growth in net interest income and expanded net interest margins. The company’s focus on mortgage warehouse loans and lending to medical professionals supports higher yields and a low efficiency ratio of 25%. With a consistent dividend yield of 2.5% and a recent share buyback program, Primis offers attractive shareholder returns and downside protection. Key risks include potential loan loss reserve increases and sensitivity to mortgage demand, but capital ratios remain strong and above regulatory minimums, supporting the company’s financial stability going forward.
