Capitol Federal Stock Nears a 52-Week High as Traders Watch Margins, Buybacks
Capitol Federal Financial shares edged higher in premarket trading on Thursday, clawing back a sliver of Wednesday’s drop before the main U.S. session. Google Finance showed CFFN at $7.80 in premarket trade after a $7.77 close, down 1.02% on Wednesday. The move matters because the stock is sitting close to its 52-week high of $7.96, with the market now judging whether a small Kansas lender can keep lifting margins while returning capital. Google Finance listed the company’s market value at about $985 million, making it a small-cap regional bank where modest flows can move the tape.
