The filing
Stock Yards Bank & Trust Co. is the eleventh largest of the 12 the South Central states banks nearest its size over $10B, with $10.36B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 93.0% of deposits, 9th of 12 against a median of 90.8%, and equity is 12.0% of assets, 5th of 12. Loans grew +15.1% in the year, 2nd of 12, and deposits grew 13.1%; the cohort's median loan growth is +5.3%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.31% of the book, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 0.92%; 0.33% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 4.5 times. Commercial real estate is 36.0% of loans, 6th of 12 against a median of 36.9%, and 248% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 67% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +51.4% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 1.62%, 3rd of 12 against a median of 1.39%, on an efficiency ratio of 52.6%, 4th of 12. Five years ago it was 1.13%. The question is whether the new lending seasons as cleanly as the book it joined, and what funded it.
