Washington Trust Bancorp stock stood 5.72 percent below its USD 40.54 52-week high on October 6, 2026, after the latest primary-market quote reached USD 38.22. The next scheduled report is third-quarter 2026 earnings on October 19, 2026, according to MarketBeat.

Second-quarter results set the baseline

Washington Trust Bancorp reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of USD 0.83, exceeding the USD 0.77 consensus estimate by USD 0.06, while revenue reached USD 60.47 million against USD 59.91 million expected, MarketBeat reported on October 5, 2026. The earnings comparison matters because the upcoming report will be measured against a quarter that already delivered a USD 0.06 per-share upside versus consensus.

The companys investor-relations page lists USD 5.1 billion in total loans, USD 5.4 billion in total deposits and USD 6.5 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2026, alongside second-quarter results, Washington Trust Bancorp states. Those balance-sheet figures frame the bank as a regional lender whose next earnings update will show whether second-quarter profitability carried into the third quarter.

Dividend supports the investor case

Washington Trust declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.56 per share for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, payable October 9, 2026 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2026, according to MarketScreener on September 17, 2026. MarketBeat calculated the annualized payout at USD 2.24 per share and a 5.80 percent yield in its October 5, 2026 overview, while its analyst survey showed three Hold ratings and one Buy rating with a USD 35.50 average 12-month target, MarketBeat reported.

Market value remains below the yearly high

Washington Trust Bancorp had a market capitalization of USD 728.7 million and a 52-week range of USD 25.23 to USD 40.54 in the latest quote data dated October 6, 2026. The USD 38.22 quote sits USD 2.32 below the high, making the 5.72 percent gap the clearest technical comparison for the October 19 earnings date.

Washington Trust Bancorp is listed on Nasdaq under ticker WASH, according to StockAnalysis. The same master-data page identifies the company as a regional bank and confirms ISIN US9406101082.

Upcoming results provide the next test

The October 19 report will put the USD 0.83 second-quarter earnings-per-share result and the USD 60.47 million revenue figure against a new quarter. The combination of a USD 35.50 average target, a USD 0.56 quarterly dividend and a quote below the USD 40.54 high gives investors three measurable reference points for that update.
