As of Q3, the peer median on ROA is 80 bps. Though Piper’s 2026 bottom-line growth expectations lag the current group, it comes on top of much stronger growth for Norwood Financial in 2025. Overall, the firm thinks both Norwood Financial and peers have a similar normalized organic growth profile in the high-single-digit range.
