Q2 earnings missed expectations

According to MarketBeat in its September 17, 2026 report, Enterprise Financial Services posted quarterly adjusted EPS of USD 1.13, missing the USD 1.33 analyst estimate by USD 0.20. Revenue came to USD 187.37 million against expectations of USD 189.15 million, a shortfall of USD 1.78 million.

The same report said the company increased its quarterly dividend to USD 0.35 per share from USD 0.34. That change lifted the annualized payout to USD 1.40, while the earnings miss kept profitability as the more immediate operating issue.

Consensus points to USD 70

MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus based on four Buy ratings and one Hold rating, with an average price target of USD 70. The target stands 17.43 percent above the October 6 price of USD 59.61, so the market price remains the key test for whether the earnings setback changes the broader analyst view.

Yahoo Finance carried a Zacks estimate of USD 5.27 EPS for fiscal year 2026 on October 6, 2026, representing 0.57 percent growth from the prior year. The estimate contrasts with the weaker second-quarter adjusted EPS result and gives investors a concrete benchmark for the next earnings release.
