Company Description
Renasant Corporation (NYSE: RNST) is a financial services company that serves as the parent of Renasant Bank, a long-established banking institution. According to company disclosures, Renasant Bank has operated for more than a century and is described as a financial services institution with a multi-state footprint in the Southeastern United States. Through Renasant Bank and its related businesses, Renasant Corporation participates in commercial banking and related financial services within the finance and insurance sector.
The company reports that Renasant Bank operates hundreds of banking, lending, mortgage and wealth management offices across the Southeast. In multiple public communications, Renasant notes that it also offers factoring and asset-based lending on a nationwide basis. These activities position the organization within commercial banking while extending certain lending services beyond its core geographic banking footprint.
Business segments and activities
Based on available information, Renasant Corporation operates through Renasant Bank and subsidiaries that provide banking, insurance and wealth management services. A prior description of the company states that it has three reportable segments: community banks, insurance and wealth management. Within its community banks segment, the company provides financial services to individuals and small businesses. Its insurance segment is described as an insurance agency that offers commercial and personal insurance through third-party carriers. The wealth management segment provides services that include money management and retirement planning.
Company earnings releases and investor presentations further indicate that Renasant generates revenue from net interest income on loans and securities, as well as noninterest income items such as service charges on deposit accounts, fees and commissions, wealth management revenue, mortgage banking income, and other fee-based sources. These disclosures highlight the importance of both lending activities and fee-based services to the overall business model.
Geographic footprint and scale
Renasant Corporation states in several news releases that Renasant Bank operates more than 280, and in some cases approximately 289 or 300, banking, lending, mortgage and wealth management offices throughout the Southeast. The company also reports total assets in the range of approximately $26.0 billion to $26.7 billion in recent periods. While specific office counts and asset totals can change over time, these figures illustrate that Renasant operates as a regional banking organization with a sizable presence in its markets.
The company notes that, in addition to its regional branch network, it offers factoring and asset-based lending on a nationwide basis. This extends Renasant’s lending activities beyond traditional branch-based banking and into specialized credit products that can reach customers across the United States.
Recent corporate developments
Renasant Corporation regularly communicates with investors through earnings releases, dividend announcements and webcast information. For example, the company issues quarterly earnings press releases and schedules webcasts and conference calls with analysts to discuss financial results. These communications often reference net income, earnings per share, net interest income, noninterest income, loan growth, deposit trends, credit quality metrics and capital ratios, reflecting the key financial dimensions of its banking operations.
In April 2025, Renasant completed a merger with The First Bancshares, Inc., as described in a second quarter 2025 earnings release. The company reported that, as of the effective date of the merger, The First operated numerous locations and contributed additional assets, loans and deposits to the combined organization. Renasant has also reported on integration progress and merger-related expenses in subsequent earnings communications.
The company’s governance and leadership structure is also addressed in public filings and news releases. In May 2025, Renasant announced that Kevin D. Chapman had assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer and President of both Renasant Corporation and Renasant Bank, as part of a previously communicated succession plan. The company’s board of directors and its committees are referenced in SEC filings, including disclosures related to director retirement plans and changes in the independent registered public accounting firm.
Risk factors and operating environment
Renasant Corporation’s SEC filings include cautionary statements regarding forward-looking information. These filings identify factors that management believes could affect actual results, such as economic conditions, interest rate changes, credit quality trends, regulatory changes, competition in banking and financial services, cybersecurity risks, and the impact of natural disasters or other disruptive events in the company’s geographic area. The company also notes the importance of successfully integrating acquisitions, including its merger with The First Bancshares, Inc., and realizing anticipated cost savings and operational benefits.
In a September 2025 Form 8-K, Renasant disclosed that a customer, Tricolor Holdings, LLC, filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. The filing notes that Tricolor owed a loan amount to Renasant Bank secured primarily by liens on used car inventory and that the loan was placed on nonaccrual status. The company stated that the bank was taking steps to assess and secure its collateral and intended to pursue all remedies available in connection with the matter. This disclosure illustrates how individual credit exposures can be material enough to warrant regulatory reporting.
Capital, dividends and shareholder matters
Renasant Corporation provides regular updates on capital ratios, book value per share and tangible book value per share in its earnings releases. The company also discloses stock repurchase authorizations and related activity. For example, in an October 2025 earnings release, Renasant reported that its board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of a specified dollar amount of common stock through open market or privately negotiated transactions, with a defined term for the program.
Dividend policy is another recurring topic in company announcements. Renasant has issued multiple press releases declaring quarterly cash dividends on its common stock, specifying the per-share amount, payment date and record date. These disclosures indicate that returning capital to shareholders through dividends is a component of the company’s approach to capital management, subject to board approval and regulatory considerations.
Community involvement
Renasant’s public communications also reference community-focused activities. The Renasant Community Foundation, for example, announced the awarding of numerous community grants to nonprofit organizations across the Southeast in connection with Giving Tuesday. The foundation’s grants support organizations working in areas such as education, human services, arts and culture and community development. These activities reflect the company’s engagement with the communities in which it operates.
Regulatory reporting and transparency
As a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RNST, Renasant Corporation files periodic and current reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, provide detailed information about the company’s financial condition, results of operations, risk factors, governance and significant events.
