Memo

First Capital, Inc. (FCAP). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-06-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: net interest income 42.1 m USD in 2025; YoY growth 1.6%; net margin 252.8%; ROE 13.9%.

The estimated value range is 52.93–63.95 USD per share (median of 4 methods, agreement: high); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 57.92 USD, the price of 64.38 USD leaves a potential of -10.0% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -11.2% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 59/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: balance. Not investment advice.

In brief

First Capital, Inc. is the holding company of the community bank First Harrison Bank, which gathers deposits in Indiana and Kentucky and lends them out, mainly as commercial real estate and residential mortgages. The company reported net income of 16.4 million USD in 2025, and the first nine months of 2026 show a rising net interest margin, which makes the path of interest rates especially relevant for its bank.

SWOT

Strengths

  • Leading deposit share in Harrison County and a well-established local branch network with loyal customers.
  • Rising profitability and a strong capital level that provide a cushion against unexpected losses.
  • Close ties with the local community that support attracting low-cost deposits.

Weaknesses

  • High concentration of the portfolio in real estate loans, especially commercial ones, with greater risk if values decline.
  • Relatively small size and limited analyst coverage, which make funding in capital markets harder to obtain.
  • Exposure to fixed-rate loans that may produce insufficient returns in a rising rate environment.

Opportunities

  • Growing fee income through secondary market mortgage sales and new products.
  • Expanding commercial and consumer lending in the local market, where the bank already has strong relationships.
  • Improving efficiency through technology and extending the market through acquisitions of financial institutions.

Threats

  • A regional economic slowdown could weaken customers' ability to repay and increase credit losses.
  • Competitive pressure from larger banks and non-bank financial institutions on the cost of deposits.
  • Regulatory changes or cybersecurity incidents could affect the bank's operations and reputation.

Risks

  • Commercial credit riskhigh

    Commercial real estate and commercial business loans carry higher risk than residential mortgages, and a deterioration in the local market could lead to losses and higher provisions.

  • Interest rate riskhigh

    The fixed-rate loan book could generate insufficient income if rates rise sharply and persistently, weighing on net interest income.

  • Liquidity riskmedium

    If customer deposits shift toward other investments, the bank could rely more on costlier funding, affecting its margin.

  • Operational and cyber riskmedium

    Dependence on information systems and outside vendors exposes the bank to outages and attacks that could affect data and customers.

  • Dividend dependence risklow

    The company relies almost entirely on dividends from the bank to meet its obligations, so a fall in the bank's profit could limit those payments.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • A rising net interest margin and higher quarterly profit suggest the business model can generate solid income if the trend holds.
  • Leading deposit share in Harrison County and a local customer base give a durable advantage in attracting low-cost funding.
  • A strong capital level and a return on average equity of 13.18 percent in 2025 provide a margin against unexpected losses.

What would break the thesis

  • Rising nonperforming loans and concentration in commercial real estate could lead to larger provisions and pressure on profit.
  • Higher operating costs, especially for staff, could erode the efficiency gains if revenue does not grow at the same pace.
  • Small size and dependence on the local market make the bank vulnerable to a regional slowdown and to competition from larger banks.

The business

First Capital, Inc., incorporated under Indiana law, wholly owns First Harrison Bank, formerly a federal savings bank and now an Indiana-chartered commercial bank. The company's primary activity is owning the bank's stock, and it has no other material income beyond what the bank generates. The bank operates in four Indiana counties and Bullitt County in Kentucky, and it is the leader by deposit market share in Harrison County, Indiana.

The bank's strategy is to attract deposits from the general public and use them to originate residential mortgages, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans. Excess liquidity is placed in deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank, government securities and municipal obligations. The company aims to grow fee income by selling mortgages in the secondary market and to reduce operating costs.

Commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans dominate the portfolio, and exposure to fixed-rate loans makes the bank sensitive to rising funding costs. The company has invested in technology and its call center system, and management says its 2026 plans focus on keeping nonperforming assets low and deepening customer relationships.

Segments

Loans

Gross loans of 663,142 thousand USD at December 31, 2025 consist mainly of mortgage loans, of which commercial real estate is the largest part. Commercial and consumer loans carry a smaller weight, and the bank lends them mainly within its home market.

Deposits and fee income

Deposits, above one billion USD at the end of 2025, are the bank's main funding source. Fee income and gains from selling mortgages in the secondary market supplement interest income, though their weight is smaller than that of interest income.

Market context

The bank competes with local commercial banks and large regional banks across four Indiana counties and Bullitt County in Kentucky. Net income of 16.4 million USD and a return on average assets of 1.34% in 2025 show profitability comparable to other community banks in the region, and the company says it holds the leading deposit share in Harrison County.

The local market is dominated by real estate lending and deposits from community customers, so regional economic conditions matter more than national ones. Community banks have less access to capital markets than larger banks, which can influence their funding costs.

Trends

  • Net interest margin trendtailwind

    The net interest margin rose in 2026, mainly because yields on earning assets increased while the cost of deposits eased slightly. If this spread holds, interest income could keep supporting the bank's profit.

  • Staff and personnel costsheadwind

    Compensation and benefit expenses rose in 2026 due to annual adjustments and higher costs for company-provided health insurance. If inflationary pressure persists, this category could erode the gains from efficiency.

  • Loan portfolio qualityheadwind

    Nonperforming assets rose from 4.4 million USD to 5.5 million USD by September 2026, mainly because one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan was placed on nonaccrual. If this continues, additional provisions for credit losses could be required.

  • Interest rates and liquiditymixed

    The large fixed-rate loan book and reliance on rate-sensitive deposits make the bank vulnerable to a sharp rise in rates. At the same time, the repricing of adjustable-rate loans could partly offset this effect.

Competitive position

The most direct competition comes from commercial banks operating in the same counties, and the bank says it ranks first by deposit share in Harrison County. Competition also comes from large regional banks, which have greater access to funding and can offer a wider product range.

The bank's advantage lies in its close relationships with local customers, its network of 17 offices and its community involvement. Its limits are its smaller size and limited analyst coverage, which can make access to capital harder than for larger competitors.

  • Local commercial banks in Indiana and Kentucky

    Main direct competitors for deposits and loans in the bank's five counties, as cited in the annual report.

  • Large regional banks

    Named as a source of competition for lending and deposit business, with broader access to funding.

  • Other financial institutions in the market area

    Compete for customer deposits when clients seek higher returns from other investments, a risk the company flags.

  • Institutions offering residential mortgages in the secondary market

    Competitors for residential mortgage business, whose presence affects the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
