Northwest Bancshares (Nasdaq: NWBI) has been around since the Grover Cleveland administration, having been founded back in 1896. The bank has 139 branches and drive-through centers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and New York.

Its stock, a small cap with a $1.7 billion market cap, sports a juicy 6% yield.

For banks, our measure of cash flow is net interest income - the difference between the income earned by lending money and the cost to borrow the funds that are lent out.

Northwest Bancshares has been steadily growing its net interest income for years. It generated $361 million in net interest income in 2020, $391 million in 2021, $421 million the following year, and $436 million last year. This year, the company is forecast to bring in $450 million in net interest income.
