From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
KIRA · Hancock Whitney had $1.5B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 4.8% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +3.6% a year on average.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).
KIRA · Hancock Whitney made $486M of net profit in fiscal 2025. From fiscal 2016 to 2025, diluted EPS grew 13.1% a year.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.
How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA · Hancock Whitney returned $401M to shareholders in fiscal 2025. The diluted share count fell 1.4%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).
KIRA · In the last 12 months, insiders sold $7.6M of shares on the open market and bought none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. “Plan” marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Loans, deposits and capital at each fiscal year end.
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.

KIRA · It earned 11.3% on shareholders’ money. Running costs took 56.2% of revenue (the efficiency ratio; lower is better).
For banks, return on equity and the efficiency ratio (costs as a share of revenue) say most about how well the business runs.
In plain words: Return on equity is the profit made on shareholders’ money each year. The efficiency ratio is how much of each dollar of revenue goes on running costs, so lower is better.
What does the share cost, and how does it compare?
KIRA · At $73.51 a share, the company is worth $6.3B: 14.4 times its earnings of the last four quarters.
Change the assumptions and see what they imply per share. These are models, not forecasts or price targets — the answer depends entirely on what you put in.
In plain words: Move the sliders to try your own guesses about growth. The result is what one share would be worth if those guesses came true. Different guesses give very different answers.
