Bankwell Financial Group, Inc. BWFG
What this company does
Written from the business description in Bankwell Financial Group, Inc.'s annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 4 March 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
Revenue compounded at +29.1% a year over five years — but profit grew faster: net income at +42.9%, earnings per share at +42.8%.
The share count fell from 0.01B to 0.01B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Each USD of equity produced 12 cents of profit this year.
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
