BWB

Over the past six months, Bridgewater Bancshares' stock experienced several notable events. For Q1 2026, released on April 22, 2026, the company reported a net income of $17.4 million ($0.58 diluted), an increase from the previous quarter, with net interest income growing to $36.6 million and net interest margin expanding to 2.99%. These results were attributed to strategic securities sales, prepayment of FHLB advances, growth in core deposits, and a reduction in nonperforming assets, alongside the initiation of an at-the-market offering for up to $50 million of common stock. For Q2 2026, announced on July 21/22, 2026, net income was $14.0 million, a decrease from Q1 2026, though net interest income increased to $38.6 million and net interest margin improved to 3.07%. Gross loans reached $4.43 billion and deposits grew to $4.35 billion, with strong asset quality and an improved efficiency ratio, and tangible book value per share rising to $16.61, despite lagging Q2 earnings estimates. The BWB stock price increased by 7.44% over the last six months, with its 52-week trading range between $16.06 and $22.62. Insider stock sales were reported in August and September 2026. In August 2026, Stephens upgraded Bridgewater Bancshares to 'Overweight' and raised its target price to $25, contributing to the company's general 'Buy' consensus rating and average target price of $23.67. The broader regional banking sector, including Bridgewater Bancshares, also reacted to the Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point rate hike.
