    FB Financial Falls 4% as Q3 Revenue Misses at $174.5M on Mortgage Weakness

    Direct answer

    FB Financial Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 financial results showing a revenue shortfall against Wall Street forecasts, posting $174.5 million against the $181.6 million consensus estimate. EPS matched expectations at $1.21 per share.
