HINGHAM, Mass., Dec. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HINGHAM INSTITUTION FOR SAVINGS (NASDAQ:HIFS) (“the Bank”), Hingham, Massachusetts, announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program (“the Program”) pursuant to which the Bank may repurchase up to $20 million of its outstanding common stock, having received all regulatory approvals as may be required. Under the Program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or any combination of such methods, in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations.

Hingham Institution for Savings is a best-in-class bank with a 30-year track record of 11% annualized returns with high insider ownership management. Recent challenges from rapid Fed rate hikes caused margin compression and investor pessimism, but Q2 2025 earnings signal a turnaround with strong net income and net interest margin growth. Valuation is compelling: the stock trades at a depressed price-to-book multiple, with my $331.18 price target implying 24% upside as loan growth and margins recover.
