First Quarter 2026 Performance
President and CEO Christopher Caldwell reported strong first quarter results, with earnings per share increasing 26% compared to the same period in 2025. Tangible book value rose 4% in the first quarter.
The company completed its uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Markets exchange during the quarter, a move Caldwell said has generated improved liquidity and pricing for shareholders.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Community Bancorp completed the optional redemption of all fifteen outstanding shares of its Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, which had a value of $1.5 million.
Capital Position
The company reported an unrealized loss position on its investment portfolio, which it characterized as temporary and noted does not impact regulatory capital ratios. Retained earnings increased $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $12.2 million year over year.
Fair market value of the investment portfolio improved due to changing bond rates during the period.
