COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: NWBI) ("Northwest") will host a conference call to review fourth quarter 2025 financial results on Tuesday, January 27 at 9:00 a.m. (EST). The financial results and supporting financial data are scheduled to be released after market close on Monday, January 26.

The S&P 600 SmallCap index offers quality small-cap exposure, emphasizing companies with positive earnings and robust liquidity requirements. Nineteen of the thirty highest-yielding S&P 600 'safer' dividend stocks are attractively valued, with free cash flow supporting their dividends. Top ten S&P 600 small/mid-cap dividend stocks project average net gains of 42.25% by December 2026, with lower-than-market average risk.

The S&P 600 Small/MidCap index offers high-yield dividend opportunities, with 33 out of 53 top-yielding stocks meeting both the 'safer' and IDEAL dividend Dogcatcher criteria. Top ten S&P600 dividend 'dogs' are projected to deliver 24% to 93% net gains by November 2026, based on analyst targets and current yields. Stocks like KNTK, SM, CRGY, and DEI stand out for strong total return potential, but investors should beware of negative free cash flow in some high-yield picks.

Northwest Bancshares offers a 6.8% dividend yield, solid fundamentals, and trades at a low forward P/E of 9.3. NWBI's recent Penns Woods merger drove 21% YoY revenue growth, improved efficiency, and expanded its deposit and C&I loan base. Strong credit quality, a CET1 ratio of 12.3%, and a well-covered dividend support NWBI's income and growth potential.
