Great Southern Bancorp stock (ISIN US3909051076) was trading at USD 79.47 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.25 percent from the prior close. The next company checkpoint is the preliminary third-quarter report scheduled for October 21, 2026, after the market close, followed by a conference call on October 22 at 3:00 p.m. ET, according to Yahoo Finance on September 24, 2026.

Q2 earnings included one-off costs

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Great Southern reported diluted EPS of USD 1.43 and net income of USD 15.8 million, compared with USD 1.72 and USD 19.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline included USD 2.1 million of expenses tied to branch consolidations and workforce reductions, according to Great Southern Bancorp in its Q2 2026 report dated July 15, 2026.

Excluding those costs, adjusted diluted EPS was USD 1.57 and adjusted net income was USD 17.4 million. The comparison matters because the reported quarter also showed a net interest margin of 3.76 percent, up from 3.68 percent a year earlier, while net interest income fell 2.9 percent to USD 49.5 million.

Loan balances set the next test

Net loans excluding mortgage loans held for sale declined from USD 4.36 billion at December 31, 2025, to USD 4.31 billion at June 30, 2026, a decrease of 1.1 percent. Great Southern said higher loan prepayments contributed to the second-quarter decline, while the unfunded loan and formal commitment pipeline totaled USD 1.07 billion at June 30.

Asset quality also gives investors a measurable counterpoint. Non-performing assets stood at USD 9.4 million, or 0.17 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2026, compared with USD 8.1 million, or 0.15 percent, at December 31, 2025, according to Great Southern Bancorp.

Consensus target remains below the stock

MarketBeat reports a Hold consensus from three analysts, with one Buy rating and two Hold ratings and a consensus price target of USD 74.00. The target is below the October 5 trading price, putting the upcoming report in the position of testing both earnings quality and loan demand, rather than simply confirming the prior quarter.

Great Southern Bancorp stock stays below its yearly high

The stock was at USD 79.47 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 53.76 to USD 82.91. Market capitalization was USD 847.4 million as of October 7, 2026, giving the October 21 earnings release a clear market-value backdrop without turning the scheduled report into a forecast.
