Republic Bancorp stock (ISIN US7602812049) traded at USD 93.61 on Nasdaq at 11:00 a.m. ET on September 24, 2026, while its 52-week high stood at USD 102.22. The latest quarterly figures show diluted EPS of USD 1.68, up 4 percent from USD 1.61 a year earlier.

Quarterly earnings beat estimates

Republic Bancorp reported second quarter revenue of USD 101.27 million, above the USD 97.60 million consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat on September 24, 2026. The USD 0.13 EPS beat gives the earnings comparison more weight than the revenue figure alone.

Second quarter net income was USD 32.9 million, compared with USD 31.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The 4 percent increase indicates that profit growth continued, although it was slower than the 35 percent sequential increase implied by the first quarter net income of USD 42.6 million.

Core banking gains importance

An analysis published by AInvest on September 12, 2026, said core bank net income rose 22 percent to USD 22.8 million in the second quarter. Core bank net interest income increased 7 percent to USD 64.1 million, while fee-based earnings fell to USD 10.1 million from USD 12.8 million.

The split matters for investors because Republic Bancorp is receiving more earnings support from traditional banking while specialized fee businesses are contributing less. That mix makes net interest income and funding costs important markers for the next quarterly update.

Dividend sets a shareholder checkpoint

Republic Bancorp declared a quarterly Class A dividend of USD 0.495, according to Business Wire on September 3, 2026. The payment is scheduled for October 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of September 18, 2026.

The same release confirms that Republic Bancorp, Inc. Class A common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under ticker RBCAA. The dividend provides a defined cash-return date, while the earnings mix remains the larger operating issue.
