MANITOWOC, Wis,, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank First Corporation (Nasdaq: BFC) ("Bank First"), the holding company of Bank First, N.A., announced today that it has received all required regulatory approvals to complete its planned merger with Centre 1 Bancorp, Inc. ("Centre"), parent company of The First National Bank and Trust ("First National Bank and Trust").

Dory Wiley, Commerce Street Holdings CEO, joins 'The Exchange' to discuss the recent performance in national and regional bank stocks, what's supporting the smaller banks and much more.

Bank First Corporation's acquisition of Centre 1 Bancorp nearly doubles its size, expands its footprint, and adds wealth-management and insurance capabilities for diversification. Both banks have strong, low-cost deposit bases, but recent earnings misses, shrinking fee income, and rising costs highlight operational challenges. The merger benefits from a favorable regulatory climate, but integration risks and a pricier valuation (18.5x earnings, above peers) temper enthusiasm for BFC stock.

Bank First Corporation (BFC) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.71 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.8 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.56 per share a year ago.
