First Bancshares reported Q3 earnings of $0.65 per share, beating the $0.62 estimate, but down from $0.76 last year. Sales were $59.01M, exceeding the $58.52M estimate, yet lower than last year's $60.70M.
The earnings and sales figures both exceeded analyst expectations, which is typically a positive indicator for stock performance. However, the year-over-year decline in both earnings and sales may temper investor enthusiasm.
