Landmark Bancorp stock barely flinched after earnings, holding at US$32.25, even as the bank posted what management called record quarterly revenue and delivered solid profitability. The market’s flat reaction sits at odds with a quarter that showed a 4.22% net interest margin and US$0.88 in earnings per share, figures that are important for a regional lender.
At the moment, investors appear unsure whether to treat this as just another steady quarter or as confirmation that Landmark Bancorp’s recent strength is becoming more durable. The rest of the report offers more detail that may help clarify which interpretation is closer to the mark.
Is Landmark Bancorp now pricing in too much of this recent earnings strength, or is the stock still on the cheap side at a 9.8x P/E and above its DCF estimate? See how the current share price, earnings power, and cash flows line up in our valuation analysis for Landmark Bancorp

For investors leaning toward the steady community bank view, Landmark Bancorp’s Q2 results generally back that up. Revenue reached a record US$19.2m, EPS came in at US$0.88 and return on equity of 13.23% points to solid profitability. Net interest margin held at 4.22%, which fits the idea of disciplined pricing rather than chasing volume. Core deposits rose while brokered deposits fell, and the loan to deposit ratio of 83.5% keeps funding reliance at a measured level.
The cautious narrative around Landmark Bancorp is not disproved either. Nonperforming loans increased to US$13.1m, or 1.18% of loans, helped by one agriculture and one commercial relationship moving to nonaccrual. Net charge offs ticked up and the allowance for credit losses stayed at 1.15% of loans with a US$0.5m provision, which keeps credit risk in focus. Deposits fell by US$17.7m even as brokered balances were reduced and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings rose, so funding mix remains an active watchpoint.
