The main question: results are strong, and the P/BV is higher than 89% of its own history. ## What is the Northwest Bancshares share price today? Northwest Bancshares, Inc.'s share price was $15.31 at the close on 5 November 2026. It has been rising for 25 weeks. That is 7.4% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $12 and $16, and at that close it sat 89% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +3% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Northwest Bancshares pay? Northwest Bancshares, Inc. paid $0.80 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.20 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $15.31 that is a yield of 5.23%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Northwest Bancshares on? Northwest Bancshares is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Northwest Bancshares profitable? Northwest Bancshares, Inc. earned $53.5 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +59.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $126 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −4.8% a year on average. That is 30.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $33.7 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $126 M (+25.8% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +23.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +6.9 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +6.1% and revenue +16.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Northwest Bancshares make, and is it growing? Northwest Bancshares, Inc. reported $175 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +23.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 2.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $599 M. The last four reported quarters add to $654 M. FY25 revenue was $599 M, +20.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +16.4% on average, against 2.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +16.5%, against +15.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +6.7%, against +22.5% a year (rolling over). ## How much does Northwest Bancshares keep from what it earns? Northwest Bancshares, Inc.'s net margin was 30.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 6.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 20.1% and 27.9%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Northwest Bancshares' loans have gone bad? Northwest Bancshares, Inc. does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Northwest Bancshares' loan book growing? Northwest Bancshares, Inc.'s revenue was $599 M in FY25, +20.3% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +23.2% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 30.7%, +6.9 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Northwest Bancshares' P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Northwest Bancshares, Inc.'s P/BV is 1.2×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 89% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.1×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is low: this lender earns about 11% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each dollar of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +30.6%. The price ran ahead of book value, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +1.5% a year; about +1.3% a year came from book-value growth and about +0.2 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Northwest Bancshares business getting better or worse? Northwest Bancshares, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROE steady at 7.9%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Northwest Bancshares earn on its equity and assets? Northwest Bancshares, Inc. earned a return on equity of 7% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 6% in FY24. On its assets, every $100 earned about $1.19, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why: the ROE chart shows the move, but the deposit-cost and bad-loan details behind it are not in our data. ## Does Northwest Bancshares have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Northwest Bancshares shareholding pattern? 6.1% of Northwest Bancshares, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 7.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Northwest Bancshares from balance-sheet trouble? For Northwest Bancshares, Inc., the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Northwest Bancshares rank in its industry?
