This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does National Bankshares pay? National Bankshares, Inc. paid $3.04 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.75 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $40.61 that is a yield of 7.49%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is National Bankshares on? National Bankshares is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is National Bankshares profitable? National Bankshares, Inc. earned $5.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +119.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $15.8 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −6.1% a year on average. That is 32.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $2.3 M. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $15.8 M (+107.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +16.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +15.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +82.4% and revenue +21.7%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does National Bankshares make, and is it growing? National Bankshares, Inc. reported $15.4 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +16.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 8th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 2.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $55.6 M. The last four reported quarters add to $60.6 M. FY25 revenue was $55.6 M, +25.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +21.7% on average, against 2.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +21.6%, against +18.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +80.0%, against +49.2% a year (accelerating). ## How much does National Bankshares keep from what it earns? National Bankshares, Inc.'s net margin was 32.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 15.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 17.3% and 44.2%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of National Bankshares' loans have gone bad? National Bankshares, Inc. does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is National Bankshares' loan book growing? National Bankshares, Inc.'s revenue was $55.6 M in FY25, +25.9% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +16.2% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 32.7%, +15.4 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is National Bankshares' P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? National Bankshares, Inc.'s P/BV is 1.5×, about the highest it has ever been. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.2×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is low: this lender earns about 12% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each dollar of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +36.3%. The price ran ahead of book value, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the National Bankshares business getting better or worse? National Bankshares, Inc.'s business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 7 quarters ago at −58.1% and has recovered to +80.0%, with ROE rising at 10.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## How much does National Bankshares earn on its equity and assets? National Bankshares, Inc. earned a return on equity of 9% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 5% in FY24. On its assets, every $100 earned about $1.19, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why ROE moved: profit grew −6.1% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does National Bankshares have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the National Bankshares shareholding pattern? 1.7% of National Bankshares, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is National Bankshares from balance-sheet trouble? For National Bankshares, Inc., the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does National Bankshares rank in its industry?
