Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. TCBI reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.58, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.42. The figure also compared favorably with 92 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
TCBI’s results benefited from higher net interest income (NII) and non-interest income, along with solid loans and deposits balance. However, results were impacted by higher expenses and elevated credit costs.
Results exclude certain items. After considering this, net income available to common shareholders (GAAP basis) was $69.5 million, up 62.6% from $42.7 million reported in the year-ago quarter.
TCBI’s Quarterly Revenues Rise & Expenses Increase
Total quarterly revenues increased 15.5% year over year to $324 million. Also, the top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.4%.
NII was $254.7 million, which rose 7.9% year over year. The increase was mainly driven by growth in average earning assets and a decline in funding costs.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) expanded 24 basis points year over year to 3.43%.
Non-interest income increased 55.9% year over year to $69.3 million. The rise was primarily driven by higher service charges on deposit accounts, wealth management and trust fee income, brokered loan fees, trading income, investment banking and advisory fee income and other income.
Non-interest expenses rose 5.2% year over year to $213.6 million. The increase was mainly due to higher salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, communications and technology expenses, and other non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower legal and professional expenses, marketing expenses and FDIC insurance assessment expense.

As of March 31, 2026, loans held for investment totaled $18.2 billion compared with $17.9 billion as of Dec. 31, 2025. Total deposits were $28.5 billion, up from $26.4 billion in the prior quarter.

Our View on TCBI
Texas Capital delivered a solid performance, supported by strong NII growth, expanding margins and diversified fee income. While elevated expense levels and rising credit costs warrant monitoring, strong capital levels and ongoing capital deployment through share repurchases position the company well for sustained shareholder value creation.
