Rhea AI ISTR FY2025 2026-05-08

Capital rebuilding, rather than balance-sheet leverage, is driving better earnings on a still modest-return asset base.

Net income climbed from $16.7M in FY2023 to $22.9M in FY2025. Yet ROE only edged from 7.4% to 7.6%, because equity rebuilt faster than earnings scaled, so the recent improvement reflects a stronger capital posture more than a dramatic jump in balance-sheet productivity.

With assets at $2.83B and ROA only 0.8%, the business is still earning relatively little on a very large balance sheet, which is the central operating constraint here. That makes the net margin of 24.5% less revealing than asset returns: a high-looking margin can coexist with only moderate economic output from the assets employed.

Long-term debt remained just $9.8M while total equity reached $301.1M, an unusual combination for a liability-funded balance sheet this large. That mix points to a funding model supported mainly by liabilities other than term debt, with retained earnings gradually restoring capital instead of depending on heavier borrowing.

Growth

Investar Holding's revenue grew 7.1% year-over-year to $93.6M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 44/100.

Leverage

100

Investar Holding carries a low D/E ratio of 0.03, meaning only $0.03 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Returns

Investar Holding generates a 7.6% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 28/100. This is down from 8.4% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

Earnings Quality Mixed

0.80x
