FIRST FINANCIAL CORP /IN/
Next earnings Jul 20, 2026 · consensus $1.80 EPS, $74.1M rev
Last earnings +0.8% on 2026-04-28
Cheap Indiana community bank at 11.5x earnings with surging profitability, fortress capital build, and rate-cut tailwind.
Diluted EPS $6.68 · FY2025
Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~230% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.
THFF is a classic underfollowed community bank trading at a meaningful discount to its earnings power. FY2025 net income of $79.2M (+67.5% YoY) and diluted EPS of $6.68 (+67.0%) represent a dramatic recovery from FY2024's $47.3M trough — and importantly, this beats the prior FY2022 peak of $71.1M, suggesting the rebound is structural, not just a base effect. Operating cash flow of $90.4M (+49.8%) confirms the earnings are cash-backed. At $76.70, the stock trades at just 11.5x earnings and roughly 1.4x book value (equity of $651M on 11.9M shares ≈ $54.7 book/share), which is undemanding for a bank generating 12.2% ROE.
The balance sheet tells a constructive story. Stockholders' equity grew 18.5% to $651M while assets only grew 3.5% to $5.76B — meaning the bank is building capital faster than it is growing its book, a hallmark of disciplined underwriting. Cash jumped 39.4% to $130M. The 7.84x liabilities/equity ratio is normal for a commercial bank. The MD&A confirms credit quality is being actively managed: ACL of $48.0M (up modestly from $46.7M) with the quantitative component flat at $33.6M, signaling management is layering qualitative cushion rather than reacting to deteriorating loss experience. That is a confidence signal.
Is THFF a buy? The one-page verdict, explained →
High-conviction BUY: a wider spread keeps more of the upside while the short call still cuts cost and decay.
