Heritage Financial Stock Is Quiet Now, but One Bank Margin Test Could Decide What Comes Next
Heritage Financial Corp. shares ended lower on Friday, underperforming bank funds in a muted session and leaving investors focused less on fresh company news than on whether its recent Olympic Bancorp deal can keep lifting profitability. The Olympia, Washington-based bank’s stock closed at $27.25, down 0.33%, and was unchanged after hours. The shares stayed within a narrow $27.24-to-$27.56 range, still below their 52-week high of $28.90.
