Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of East West Bancorp, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price by $10 to $165, 14.5x our 2027 EPS estimate, a wider risk premium than the peer average of 10.0x given demographic advantages and expected market share gains. We raise our 2026 EPS view by $0.32 to $10.73 and increase 2027's by $0.26 to $11.36. Our revenue estimates are $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. EWBC shares justifiably reached a record high today, driven by the bank's continued outperformance in loan and deposit growth versus industry peers. Management's guidance was especially positive and notably was unaffected by the Iran conflict. In fact, EWBC raised its 2026 net interest income outlook by 100 bps to 6%-8% growth, while simultaneously lowering its expected net charge-offs by 5 bps to 15-25 bps. Still, despite strong credit quality and a track record of EPS growth exceeding peers, EWBC maintains a defensive position for a potential economic downturn, supported by robust capital levels and a strengthened loan loss reserve.

Research Alert: Ewbc: Q1 Earnings Beat As Revenue Growth Outperforms

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:EWBC posted strong Q1 2026 results with operating EPS of $2.57 vs. $2.08 a year ago, $0.10 above consensus. Q1 revenue of $774M beat consensus by 3% and rose 12% Y/Y and 2% Q/Q. It was another record quarter as the bank reported record levels of loans, deposits, and fee income, while maintaining healthy credit quality. Net interest income outperformed with 2% Q/Q growth while the net interest margin improved 8 bps to 3.49%, driven by a 21-bp decline in deposit costs to 2.84% that more than offset a 9-bp decrease in loan yields. Balance sheet growth remained robust with total loans reaching a record $58B (+2% Q/Q, +7% Y/Y) and deposits hitting $69B (+3% Q/Q, +9% Y/Y). Loan growth was well diversified across commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and residential mortgage portfolios. Fee income surged 13% Q/Q to record levels, with wealth management fees more than doubling. The bank's funding optimization efforts continued to bear fruit in the competitive environment.
