TOPEKA, July 29. Net income of $23.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 brought Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFFN) to its eighth consecutive period of net interest income growth and margin expansion, the Topeka, Kansas company disclosed Tuesday. Net interest margin reached 2.31%, up seven basis points from 2.24% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with both gains driven primarily by a reduction in borrowings.

Loan mix shift accelerates toward commercial

Commercial loans totaled $2.47 billion at June 30, 2026, up from $2.11 billion at September 30, 2025. That $357.0 million gain represents 22.5% annualized growth over the nine-month stretch, and commercial loans now account for 30% of the total portfolio, compared with 26% at the fiscal year start.

Single-family loans fell to $5.60 billion from $5.90 billion over the same period. Capitol Federal Savings Bank has been redirecting repayment proceeds from residential loans into commercial originations rather than replacing single-family volume in local markets. Net interest income rose $1.2 million to $53.5 million. Total assets stood at $9.66 billion and stockholders' equity at $1.02 billion at June 30.

Capital returns and per-share results

Basic and diluted earnings per share came to $0.19. The efficiency ratio was 52.10%, an improvement from 52.45% the prior quarter. The operating expense ratio was 1.29%.

Between April 1, 2026 and July 23, 2026, Capitol Federal repurchased 1,837,832 shares at an average price of $7.73 per share, spending $15.5 million. Tangible book value per share stood at $8.04 at June 30, 2026. The company paid dividends of $10.6 million, or $0.085 per share, during the quarter.

Deposits, distributions, and upcoming dividend

Commercial deposits grew $24.3 million, or 6.4% annualized, since September 30, 2025. Capitol Federal Savings Bank distributed $78.0 million to the parent company during the nine months ended June 30, 2026.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John B. Dicus said technology and product investments are drawing commercial clients, with additional offerings for trust and wealth customers planned for later in the summer. On July 28, 2026, Capitol Federal announced a cash dividend of $0.085 per share, payable August 21, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 7, 2026.
