First Northwest Bancorp (FNWB): A Community Bank Navigating
First Northwest Bancorp (FNWB): A Community Bank Navigating Interesting play on the Puget Sound banking scene. FNWB's been through the wringer with that Q3 loss of $1.98M and margin compression. Down 48 basis points is rough. But digging the strategic moves like the sale-leaseback of 6 branch properties and trimming workforce by 9%. Loan portfolio still grew 4.5% to $1.73B with strong consumer and commercial biz segments. Might be a value play if management can execute cost control.BeyondSPX continues to deliver high quality in-depth analysis on just about every US stock out there, even microcaps, for free. Solid resource for digging into the details.Watching this one closely. Could be an interesting community bank turnaround story. https://beyondspx.com/article/first-northwest-bancorp-fnwb-a-community-bank-navigating-change-and-challenges
