Washington Trust Bancorp stock (ISIN US9406101082) was last at USD 38.22 on NASDAQ on October 6, 2026, up 0.26 percent from the prior close. The regional bank heads toward its next earnings date on October 19, while its latest quarterly dividend is payable on October 9, 2026, according to PR Newswire.

Q2 earnings beat consensus

Washington Trust reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of USD 0.83, above the USD 0.77 consensus estimate, while revenue reached USD 60.47 million versus USD 59.91 million expected, according to MarketBeat in its October 5, 2026 report. The USD 0.06 EPS beat gives the upcoming Q3 release a clear benchmark, particularly because the next consensus EPS estimate is USD 0.87.

The bank generated Q2 net income of USD 15.981 million, with a 26 percent net profit margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Washington Trust's total assets stood at USD 6.5 billion as of June 30, 2026, according to its investor-relations overview.

Analysts keep a Hold view

Four research firms give Washington Trust an average Hold rating, with three Hold ratings and one Buy rating. The average 12-month price target is USD 35.50, below the October 6 market price of USD 38.22, according to MarketBeat. That gap places the earnings release ahead as the next measurable test for the valuation.

The dividend adds a separate income signal. Washington Trust declared USD 0.56 per share for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, equal to USD 2.24 on an annualized basis, with a 5.8 percent yield cited by MarketBeat.

Stock remains below yearly high

Washington Trust Bancorp's October 6 price of USD 38.22 sits below its 52-week high of USD 40.54 and above its 52-week low of USD 25.23. Market capitalization was USD 728.7 million and trading volume was 97,368 shares on the same date.

For investors, the key checkpoint is the combination of a recent earnings beat, a Hold consensus, and the scheduled Q3 report. The October 19 results will show whether the USD 0.87 consensus EPS estimate moves closer to the Q2 result of USD 0.83 or reflects a higher earnings hurdle.

Upcoming dates define the next test

Washington Trust Bancorp stock carries a USD 0.56 dividend payable on October 9, 2026, followed by the scheduled Q3 2026 earnings release on October 19, 2026. The share price and analyst target therefore frame the next report around income distribution and earnings delivery rather than a fresh rating change.
