A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
First Capital, Inc. (FCAP) is a U.S.-based bank holding company operating in the community banking industry. The company’s core business is conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, First Harrison Bank, which provides traditional retail and commercial banking services. Revenue is primarily generated through net interest income from loans and securities, as well as non‑interest income from deposit services and related banking fees. The company serves individuals, small to mid-sized businesses, and local institutions, with a focus on relationship-driven community banking.
The company traces its roots to the late 19th century through First Harrison Bank, which was founded in 1891, while First Capital, Inc. was established as a holding company in 1982 to oversee banking operations. Its strategic positioning emphasizes conservative credit practices, localized market knowledge, and long-term customer relationships, differentiating it from larger national and regional banks.

First Capital, Inc. operates as a single-segment organization focused on community banking operations conducted through First Harrison Bank. The bank offers a full suite of financial products, including commercial and consumer loans, residential mortgage lending, demand and time deposit accounts, and treasury management services. Revenue generation is concentrated in interest income from lending activities, supported by service charges and fee-based banking services.
Operations are primarily domestic, with no material international business activities reported in public filings.

Strategic Position & Investments
The company’s strategic direction centers on disciplined balance sheet management, organic loan and deposit growth, and maintaining strong capital and asset quality metrics.

Capital allocation priorities include supporting loan growth, maintaining regulatory capital requirements, and returning value to shareholders through dividends when appropriate.
Public disclosures indicate no significant diversification into emerging financial technologies or non-banking sectors. Any acquisition activity has been limited in scope and focused on community banking assets; however, data on recent material acquisitions or equity investments is inconclusive based on available public sources.
