Fifth Third Bancorp delivered strong first post-Comerica-acquisition results, with net interest income up 15% and pretax income reaching $1.04B. FITB's net profit attributable to common shareholders was $763M, with EPS at $0.84 and a reduced payout ratio below 50%, supporting continued buybacks. Tangible book value per share stands at $23.15, but FITB trades at over twice this, making valuation less compelling despite accelerating earnings.
East West Bancorp, Inc. is upgraded to a very soft Buy as fundamentals and profitability improve, outpacing the S&P 500 since last review. EWBC demonstrates robust balance sheet growth, expanding deposits, loans, and securities, with net interest margin rising to 3.49% in Q1 2026. Asset and credit quality remain strong, with return on assets at 1.79%, return on equity at 16.04%, and non-performing assets at only 0.26%.
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. remains rated Hold due to concerns over asset and credit quality and valuation not justifying a bullish stance. Deposit and loan balances declined in Q1 2026 amid competitive pressures, with uninsured deposits at 22%—below the 30% threshold of concern. Profitability improved as net interest margin rose to 2.63%, but return on assets (0.78%) and equity (9.23%) lagged preferred benchmarks.
