Hawthorn Bancshares Inc (HWBK) is a good buy right now due to its strong financial performance and positive growth indicators. The current price is $39.34, which is 87.7% of its 52-week range, suggesting it is near its high but still has room to grow. The company reported a Q2 EPS of $1.06, reflecting a solid increase in profitability, and has a forward P/E ratio of 17.76, which is reasonable given its growth trajectory. Additionally, the stock has shown a year-to-date change of +16.22%, indicating strong momentum. However, a potential risk is the recent decline in loans and deposits, with loans down by 2.6% and deposits down by 2.0% in Q2, which could impact future earnings if the trend continues.
