Columbia Financial, Inc. (CLBK)

Companies that benchmark against CLBK
7 companies name CLBK as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses CLBK in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named CLBK in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Columbia Financial, Inc. names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.
