【Loan growth momentum accelerating】 Management expects to potentially exceed prior mid-to-upper single-digit loan growth guidance for 2026, with particular success in Texas and Colorado markets and a strong pipeline supporting higher-end growth potential. Net interest margin is expected to remain in the 375–380 basis point range for 2026 under mid-single-digit growth scenarios, with deposit costs anticipated in the mid-170s basis points reflecting a more competitive deposit environment than initially forecasted. The company is intentionally investing in revenue producers and recruiting efforts to capture market share from ongoing banking industry disruption, with approximately $118 billion of bank deposits expected to convert in the company's markets over the next year or so. Non-interest income is expected to grow at an increasing rate, weighted toward Texas and Colorado markets, with full-year guidance of 55–60 basis points to average assets, and the company maintains its 4% expense growth guidance for 2026 while monitoring the potential for artificial intelligence-driven efficiency gains in support personnel relative to revenue producer growth.
