Current quarter was bad but still profitable, NW hasn't and won't be wrecked like the majority of the nation in regards to bad loans as overall economy is holding its own. Dividend slash is already in the price. CEO seems confident that the company will work its way out.

Everything you look at is strong on this bank except the P/E ratio and that will change when people catch on to how well this bank is managed.

Despite worries about the mortgage market, Frontier operates in the stable, growing Seattle market and acquiring other banks to expand regionally into Oregon.

This bank has grown consistantly. It has a high internal management ownership with years and years of experience. They know what they are doing and I expect the NW economy to remain strong for the next few years to support their efforts. Notice the dividend increases over the past several years indicating managements ties to shareholders.

Visibility into their performance and honest straightforward assesments from management allow you to understand the company's fundamentals. Increasing performance on benchmark ratios, cash and dividends year after year--do you need more reasons. Only qualm is the recent stock split, toherwise a solid company generating consistent returns.
