Most of the subject's coverage is local, thus lacking notability. Meatsgains (talk) 01:23, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * HomeStreet Bank is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ. More content will be entered with citations as well. It is also the 13th largest mortgage lender in the country. —Preceding undated comment added 16:38, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

From Notability (organizations and companies) (my bolding): "There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability." Analyst reports  This 30 April 2015 articlearchive.is from Benzinga notes: "In a report published Thursday, analyst Jacquelynne Chimera of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods initiated coverage of HomeStreet Inc with an Outperform rating. The price target was set to $28. Although HomeStreet's stock is trading at a discount to its peers, the analyst expects the gap to narrow as the company's profitability and earnings diversity improve, driven by efficient growth. According to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, 'The downward movement in long-term rates that spurred an increase in refinance volume is a benefit to HomeStreet's earnings stream given its robust mortgage banking platform.'" This 9 May 2018 articlearchive.is from Business Wire notes: "As Sandler O’Neill and Partners noted in an April 25, 2018 research report, “… [HomeStreet] has weathered many mortgage cycles in the past and it remains extremely well capitalized and well prepared to adjust as needed and move on.”" This 10 July 2018 articlearchive.is from Smarter Analyst notes: "B.Riley FBR analyst Steve Moss reiterated a Buy rating on HomeStreet (NASDAQ: HMST) yesterday and set a price target of $35. The company’s shares opened today at $28.50. Moss observed: “HomeStreet (HMST) recently announced the sale of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) for $4.9B of single-family mortgages, which represents 21% of total mortgages serviced by HMST, as of March 31, 2018. The transaction will free up regulatory capital over the near term to support loan growth at the bank, which we view as a net positive as HMST seeks to improve banking revenue that carries a higher valuation relative to mortgage banking–related income. The transaction will represent an earnings headwind: It reduces mortgage servicing revenue— though we expect HMST will likely rebuild its mortgage servicing book back to current levels over the next 12 to 24 months. On balance, we view the transaction as a modest positive for HMST shares, which trade at 1.1x TBV, given the emphasis on growing the commercial bank. We reiterate our Buy rating and $35 price target.”"</li></ol> https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/HMST/price-target/WebCite contains a list of analyst reports available under a paywall: There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow HomeStreet Bank to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * The analyst reports from DA Davidson, FBR Capital Markets, FIG Partners, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, and Sandler O'Neill and Partners are sufficient to establish notability per Notability (organizations and companies). Cunard (talk) 11:03, 1 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Analyst reports with in-depth reviews of the company are regarded as meeting the criteria for establishing notability, meets the requirements of WP:NCORP. <b style="font-family: Courier; color: darkgreen;"> HighKing</b>++ 17:02, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
