On April 23, 2025, Amerant Bancorp released its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year. This announcement revealed that the company had reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.28, which was notably below the predicted consensus estimate of $0.40 per share, reflecting a shortfall of $0.12. Amerant’s CEO and Chairman commented that while loan production was steady quarter over quarter, the overall performance suffered due to an increase in loan payoffs and paydowns.
This disappointing financial report significantly impacted Amerant’s stock price, leading to a decline of $2.55 per share—or approximately 13.09%—which saw the shares close at $16.93 the following day on April 24, 2025. Such a drop in market value could have major ramifications for investors who relied on the company's previously reported growth projections.
