The company is extending its eight-county footprint through the acquisition of Adirondack Bancorp, expanding into the Adirondack region and Mohawk Valley. Arrow was recognized by Piper Sandler as a top-performing small-cap bank, qualifying for the Sm-All Stars: Class of 2024 list by outperforming industry medians across key metrics and is the sole bank from Upstate New York on the list.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The company reported Q3 2025 net income of $12.8 million with record net interest income and strong returns on average assets of 1.16%. Following the announced Adirondack acquisition, pro-forma combined assets would reach $5.4 billion with diversified loan and deposit bases. The valuation appears reasonable at current levels.
