Where BWFG is headed
Bankwell is the kind of small bank that gets ignored until the math forces people to look. A $411M market cap lender with seven branches in some of the wealthiest zip codes in America (New Canaan, Darien, Westport), running a 34% net margin and a 13.5% ROE while trading at 1.29x book.
