In the last 52 weeks it traded between $115 and $178, and at that close it sat 66% of the way up from that low.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved +438% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 4 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Popular pay? Popular, Inc. paid $3.15 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.90 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $156.07 that is a yield of 2.02%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Popular on? Popular is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Popular profitable? Popular, Inc. earned $266 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +26.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 10th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $832 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −2.8% a year on average. That is 32.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $211 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $832 M (+35.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +9.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +4.2 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +32.1% and revenue +9.0%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Popular make, and is it growing? Popular, Inc. reported $816 M of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +9.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 10th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 1.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $3.1 B. FY25 revenue was $2.9 B, +9.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.0% on average, against 1.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +9.0%, against +9.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +31.8%, against +39.0% a year (rolling over). ## How much does Popular keep from what it earns? Popular, Inc.'s net margin was 32.6% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 4.2 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 21.0% and 37.1%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Popular's loans have gone bad? Popular, Inc. does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Popular's loan book growing? Popular, Inc.'s revenue was $2.9 B in FY25, +9.5% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +9.9% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 32.6%, +4.2 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Popular's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Popular, Inc.'s P/BV is 1.6×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 92% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.3×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +36.3%. The price ran ahead of book value, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +13.5% a year; about +5.8% a year came from book-value growth and about +7.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Popular business getting better or worse? Popular, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROE rising at 16.4%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Popular earn on its equity and assets? Popular, Inc. earned a return on equity of 13% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 11% in FY23. On its assets, every $100 earned about $1.34, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily. Why ROE moved: profit grew −2.8% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Popular have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Popular shareholding pattern? 3.2% of Popular, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Popular from balance-sheet trouble? For Popular, Inc., the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Popular rank in its industry?
