Company Overview
Founded in 1912 during the early boom days of Louisiana banking, Origin Bancorp (NYSE: OBK) is a financial holding company that provides personalized banking services to businesses, municipalities, and individuals across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Sales Growth
Two primary revenue streams drive bank earnings. While net interest income, which is earned by charging higher rates on loans than paid on deposits, forms the foundation, fee-based services across banking, credit, wealth management, and trading operations provide additional income. Unfortunately, Origin Bancorp’s 8.7% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was mediocre. This was below our standard for the banking sector and is a poor baseline for our analysis.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Origin Bancorp’s annualized revenue growth of 9.2% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was consistently weak. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, Origin Bancorp’s year-on-year revenue growth was 12.1%, and its $107.6 million of revenue was in line with Wall Street’s estimates.
Net interest income made up 83.2% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning Origin Bancorp barely relies on non-interest income to drive its overall growth.
Markets consistently prioritize net interest income growth over fee-based revenue, recognizing its superior quality and recurring nature compared to the more unpredictable non-interest income streams.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)
Banks operate as balance sheet businesses, with profits generated through borrowing and lending activities. Valuations reflect this reality, emphasizing balance sheet strength and long-term book value compounding ability.
This explains why tangible book value per share (TBVPS) stands as the premier banking metric. TBVPS strips away questionable intangible assets, revealing concrete per-share net worth that investors can trust. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules.
Origin Bancorp’s TBVPS grew at a decent 5.4% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 10.5% annually over the last two years from $29.77 to $36.37 per share.
Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Origin Bancorp’s TBVPS to grow by 8.9% to $39.60, paltry growth rate.
