East West Bancorp posts record Q3 results and lifts full‑year NII guidance
East West Bancorp reported record third‑quarter 2026 results, posting net income of $382 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.76 on revenue of $823 million. Deposits rose to $71.5 billion and loans to $59.7 billion, both new highs. The bank also raised its full‑year net interest income growth outlook to 9‑10% after a 6‑basis‑point net interest margin expansion.
Why it matters
The earnings beat and higher guidance suggest stronger profitability, which analysts note could support the stock’s valuation (D.A. Davidson’s $155 target, Morgan Stanley’s $168 target). The raised NII outlook may lift investor expectations for future earnings growth.
