PremierWest shares closed above the $1 mark on Friday for the first time since Feb. 1.

The recovering stock price is a sign of hope for the Medford bank, which needs to improve its shares in order to continue being traded on NASDAQ.

Although shares topped the $1 mark during inter-day trading earlier this week, they finished those sessions below the pivotal plateau.
