HomeTrust Bancshares Inc., the holding company of HomeTrust Bank, is now listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company transferred its common stock from the NASDAQ Stock Market to NYSE Feb. 24 under a new ticker symbol “HTB.”
“This day is a significant milestone in our journey,” said Hunter Westbrook, president and CEO of HomeTrust Bank. “HomeTrust set a goal to continue growing as a high-performing regional community bank with the strategy of creating a ‘Best Place to Work’ for our team of dedicated professionals. We have achieved both in recent years which made the move to the New York Stock Exchange right for the Bank, our communities, and our employees who are all stockholders. In joining the world’s largest stock exchange, we believe leveraging the NYSE trading platform will provide greater exposure for our Company and long-term value for our stockholders.”
To celebrate the transfer, Westbrook and members of the financial institution’s board of directors and executive management team rang the NYSE’s opening bell the day the stock ticker symbol debuted.
