First Merchants Corp. (FRME) latest earnings — what was reported — InspectStocks

First Merchants Corp. is scheduled to report next on October 28, 2026. The date comes from Nasdaq’s earnings calendar, and companies sometimes move it.

What First Merchants Corp. reported on July 22, 2026

The quarter ending March 31, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

Measure	3 months toMar 31, 2026	3 months toMar 31, 2025	Change
Total Revenue	$157.1M	$160.3M	-1.99%
Profit	$28.2M	$55.3M	-49.12%
Profit per share	$0.45	$0.94	-52.13%

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
