Peoples Bancorp forecasts 2027 net interest margin of 4.3%-4.5%, excluding non-core expenses and the planned Capital merger, versus 4.2%-4.3% for 2026.
The margin outlook assumes three 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate increases: late 2026, March 2027 and September 2027.
Loan growth is projected at 3%-5% in 2027, excluding Capital, versus 6%-8% in 2026, including acquired Citizens loans.
Capital is expected to close around late first-quarter or early second-quarter 2027, lifting quarterly net interest margin toward 5%.
Citizens, expected to close in October 2026, should add nearly $350 million in loans and approximately $550 million in deposits.
