Peoples Bancorp has rallied 37% over the past year, outperforming peers with strong credit underwriting, capital strength, and strategic M&A in its regional footprint. Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.96 beat expectations, driven by expanding net interest margin (4.23%) and disciplined balance sheet management, despite realized securities losses to manage regulatory asset thresholds. PEBO's robust CET1 ratio (12.7%) and solid reserve coverage (2.5x NPAs) provide ample capital flexibility ahead of the Citizens acquisition and potential future M&A.
