Company & revenue

About Hilltop Holdings Inc.

Primary reporting period: 2025-12-31 · Research updated Oct 12, 2026. A research update is not a new financial filing.

Who they are

Hilltop Holdings Inc., a Dallas, Texas-based entity established in 1998, delivers a comprehensive suite of financial products and services, catering to both corporate and individual clients. Its operations are structured into three primary divisions: Banking, Broker-Dealer activities, and Mortgage Origination. The Banking division encompasses a range of deposit products, including checking (both standard and interest-bearing), savings, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit.

How they make money

Hilltop Holdings Inc. operates as a financial holding company that generates revenue primarily through net interest income from its banking operations, mortgage origination fees, and various financial services provided by its broker-dealer subsidiaries. The company earns interest on loans and investment securities while paying interest on deposits and borrowings, and it collects commissions and fees for brokerage, investment banking, and clearing services.

Financial risk observations and what to check

These are saved observations about business performance, not predictions. Review the company filings alongside the interpretation below. Latest stored financial period end: 2026-06-30.

Total debt increased 50.5% versus the same quarter last year.

Compare the added borrowing with available cash, cash generation and maturities. A percentage increase from a small starting balance can look large without measuring the full debt burden.

Company-specific research

Questions worth answering for HTH

Research inputs 100% complete

These questions are generated from this company's current financial and score data so the page adds context instead of treating the headline score as a stand-alone conclusion.

  • •What is driving HTH's revenue decline, and does the latest company filing suggest the weakness is temporary or structural?
  • •How long can HTH fund negative free cash flow using its current cash position before it may need more debt or new shares?
  • •Is HTH's debt load manageable relative to cash generation, interest costs and upcoming maturities?
  • •Is HTH's valuation discount tied to a temporary concern or to a longer-term business risk?
  • •What does the current fundamental change risk warning mean for the reliability or interpretation of HTH's score?

Momentum & Volatility Signals

Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.

Low movement

20D realized vol 21.1% · 60D 16.2% · Acceleration 1.31x
Momentum = Where is it going?

A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.

Volatility = How violently is it moving?

A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.

Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
