Alaska, August 17, 2025
First National Bank Alaska shares opened sharply higher from $257.31 to $269.00 on extremely light reported volume of just 2 shares, suggesting an early or off‑exchange trade. The stock trades above its 50‑ and 200‑day moving averages, with a market cap near $880.89 million, P/E of 11.90 and beta of 0.32. Recent quarterly EPS was $5.80 on $52.52 million revenue. Liquidity ratios are modest (current and quick 0.66) and debt is low (debt‑to‑equity 0.03). Analysts currently place the stock at Hold; investors should watch sustained volume, earnings updates, and analyst changes.
First National Bank Alaska stock opened sharply higher on Tuesday, rising from a prior close of $257.31 to an opening price of $269.00. The share price was last reported at $269.00 on a trade that recorded a volume of 2 shares. The move puts the stock above its 50-day moving average of $261.49 and well above its 200-day moving average of $246.91.
The stock gap up at the open is a quick signal that buyers stepped in before trading began. Investors and analysts will watch whether the price holds above the new level, falls back toward the moving averages, or continues upward. With a market capitalization of $880.89 million and a price-to-earnings ratio of 11.90, the company sits in a valuation range that some investors find reasonable for a regional commercial bank.
The bank last reported quarterly results on a Friday in August. For that quarter the firm posted earnings per share of $5.80 on revenue of $52.52 million. Balance sheet and liquidity ratios show a current ratio and quick ratio both at 0.66, indicating the bank carries more short-term obligations than readily available short-term assets by common accounting measures. Debt levels are low relative to equity, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03. The firm’s beta of 0.32 suggests the stock has shown lower volatility than the broader market.
The institution operates as a commercial bank serving businesses, industry, and individuals, with a primary footprint in Alaska. Its product line includes deposit services such as savings accounts, checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, safe deposit services, and certificates of deposit (CDs), as well as individual retirement accounts (IRAs). On the lending side, the bank offers personal loans, home equity loans, and construction loans, and it markets loans aimed at supporting both stability and growth for local borrowers.
Market tracking services currently assign a Hold rating to the bank, indicating analysts see the stock as neither a clear buy nor strong sell at present. One tracking service noted that the bank was not included among a small group of five stocks it highlighted as preferred buying opportunities. That same tracker maintains that its ratings and recommendations are updated regularly and that its data should be used for information rather than as direct trading advice.
Key items investors may want to follow include whether the recent price level is supported by more volume in subsequent sessions, any follow-up quarterly guidance or results from the company, shifts in local lending demand—especially for construction and home loans—and broader conditions in regional banking. The low current and quick ratios suggest liquidity monitoring is especially relevant. Low leverage as shown by the debt-to-equity ratio can be a stabilizing factor, but slower loan demand or deposit shifts can still affect profitability.
The early-morning price gap to $269.00 puts the bank above key moving averages and underlines a strong opening interest in the stock. Investors weighing the name should balance the recent earnings strength and low leverage against modest liquidity ratios and the current consensus analyst stance of Hold. Buyers seeking exposure to regional banking tied to Alaska’s local economy should consider both the bank’s loan mix, including construction lending, and nearby market conditions before acting.
The stock opened higher than the prior close, reflecting early buying interest. The reported opening price was $269.00. The specific trigger could be a mix of investor reactions to recent earnings, valuation changes, or market orders placed before the session; the single reported trade at the new level showed a volume of 2 shares.
The bank reported quarterly earnings per share of $5.80 and revenue of $52.52 million in its last reported quarter.
Important ratios include the current ratio and quick ratio, both at 0.66, a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03, and a P/E ratio of 11.90. These help show liquidity, leverage, and valuation.
The bank provides deposit accounts (savings, checking, money market, CDs, IRAs), safe deposit services, and a range of loans, including personal, home equity, and construction loans, aimed at both individuals and businesses.
The consensus view tracked by market data providers is a Hold rating, and the bank was not included on a small list of five stocks identified by one tracker as top buys.
