First Bancorp stock was trading at USD 33.98 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, down USD 0.66, or 1.91 percent, from the previous close. The price stood 6.39 percent below its 52-week high of USD 36.30, giving investors a clear measure of the recent pullback.
Quarterly earnings reached USD 0.85
First Bancorp reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of USD 0.85 on revenue of USD 25.82 million, according to MarketBeat. The same report put return on equity at 13.30 percent and net margin at 21.43 percent for the quarter.
The earnings figure provides the operating anchor behind the share price. A 21.43 percent net margin indicates that profitability remains a central valuation factor for this small regional bank, while the 1.91 percent daily decline shows that market pricing can move independently of the latest quarterly result.
Dividend remains a key income signal
The company raised its quarterly dividend to USD 0.38, equal to USD 1.52 on an annualized basis, according to MarketBeat. The payout represented a 4.4 percent yield in the report, adding an income component to the stock's earnings profile.
The First Bancorp is a Maine-based bank holding company whose principal subsidiary provides community banking services, residential mortgages, consumer loans, commercial lending and wealth management.
