First Bancorp stock carries USD 0.24 dividend into September 30

First Bancorp stock is tied to a USD 0.24 cash dividend payable October 23, 2026, with September 30, 2026 set as the record date. The regional bank also enters the date with second-quarter diluted EPS of USD 1.22, ahead of the USD 1.15 consensus estimate.

Dividend date arrives first

According to StockTitan on September 15, 2026, First Bancorp declared the quarterly payment for shareholders of record on September 30, 2026. The filing identifies October 23, 2026 as the payment date, giving the dividend schedule a concrete near-term checkpoint for shareholders.

The payment equals USD 0.96 on an annualized basis when repeated across four quarters. That cash distribution is paired with a reported payout ratio of 29.81 percent in the latest analyst overview, a level that leaves earnings coverage as the central financial measure.

Second-quarter earnings beat estimates

MarketBeat reported that First Bancorp produced USD 1.22 in second-quarter earnings per share versus USD 1.15 expected, while revenue reached USD 127.30 million against USD 126.07 million consensus. The revenue comparison represents an excess of USD 1.23 million over the estimate.

According to StockTitan, second-quarter net income was USD 50.5 million, compared with USD 46.7 million in the prior quarter and USD 38.6 million a year earlier. The sequence places earnings growth alongside the dividend rather than treating the payout as an isolated event.

Analyst view stays divided

MarketBeat said six analysts held a Moderate Buy consensus on September 19, 2026, with an average 12-month target of USD 68.94. The same overview listed three holds, two buys and one strong buy, showing a mixed distribution behind the aggregate label.

MarketBeat also cited target changes from several firms, including Keefe, Bruyette and Woods raising its target from USD 67.00 to USD 70.00 on August 4, 2026. That target activity gives the earnings beat a valuation lens, while the September 30 record date supplies the next shareholder event.
