Stockman Bank is ranked, once again, as one of the Top 50 Community Banks in the United States by S&P Global Market Intelligence
Stockman Bank has been recognized by S&P Global Market Intelligence, for the third consecutive year, as one of the top 50 best-performing U.S. community banks of 2025, among banks with $3 billion to $10 billion in assets. Ranking 23rd on the list, Stockman is the only Montana bank to be included.
S&P Global Market Intelligence ranks institutions based on returns, growth and funding but places a premium on the strength and risk profile of balance sheets. The rankings were launched in 2011 to assess the performance of community banks.
“We are honored to be the only Montana bank recognized in this ranking category for our strong balance sheet and sound practices,” stated Bill Coffee, CEO of Stockman Bank. “As a family-owned, privately held community bank, we are committed to serving the financial needs of all Montanans. As always, this recognition reflects the dedication and expertise of our staff, who put our customers and communities first, providing outstanding service based on western values, local management and quick decision making.”
Stockman Bank has been recognized by American Banker as one of the top 100 best-performing U.S. community banks of 2025.
