First Northwest Bancorp stock was trading at USD 10.22 on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026, at 10:17 a.m. ET, up 1.69 percent from the prior close of USD 10.05. The latest company filing adds a specific risk item to the picture: First Fed Bank agreed to pay USD 1.3 million to settle commercial-loan litigation.
Settlement requires USD 1.3 million
According to SEC.gov, the settlement agreement was signed on September 15, 2026, and requires payment within 30 days in exchange for a full release and dismissal with prejudice. The filing says the agreement resolves claims tied to a commercial loan transaction and does not constitute an admission of liability.
Second quarter profit stayed modest
First Northwest Bancorp reported USD 308,000 of net income for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 6,000 in the first quarter and USD 3.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, according to StockTitan. Diluted EPS was USD 0.03, versus USD 0.00 in the prior quarter and USD 0.42 a year earlier.
The same filing summary puts second quarter net interest margin at 2.95 percent, down from 3.03 percent in the first quarter but above 2.83 percent a year earlier. Total assets stood at USD 2.12 billion on June 30, 2026, while the efficiency ratio reached 101.3 percent, showing that noninterest expense exceeded net revenue.
Analyst target remains USD 15.00
