In the past six months, Northwest Bancshares's stock price increased by 10.24%, and by 19.75% over the past year (October 6, 2025, to October 5, 2026), reaching a 52-week high of $16.16 and a low of $11.25. The company's Q2 CY2026 results surpassed market expectations, with sales up 20.5% year-on-year to $181.2 million and non-GAAP profit of $0.37 per share, exceeding estimates by 10%. This led to a 19% return over six months, outperforming the S&P 500 by 8.5%. However, its net interest income growth of 7.1% annualized over five years was worse than the broader banking industry, and EPS grew at a weak 2.8% compounded annual growth rate over the same period, lower than its 5.5% annualized revenue growth. Northwest Bancshares regularly pays dividends, with $0.20 per share paid for Q1, Q2, and Q3 of 2026, and Q4 of 2025.
