The main question: results are strong, and the P/BV is higher than 96% of its own history. ## What is the East West Bancorp share price today? East West Bancorp, Inc.'s share price was $129.11 at the close on 5 November 2026. It has been rising for 32 weeks. That is 4.6% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $103 and $137, and at that close it sat 78% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +285% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. 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 East West Bancorp pay? East West Bancorp, Inc. paid $3.00 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.80 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $129.11 that is a yield of 2.32%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is East West Bancorp on? East West Bancorp 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 East West Bancorp profitable? East West Bancorp, Inc. earned $382 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +3.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 9th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $1.3 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 11.0% a year on average. That is 50.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $368 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $1.3 B (+13.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +3.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +16.4% and revenue +13.9%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does East West Bancorp make, and is it growing? East West Bancorp, Inc. reported $754 M of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +3.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 11.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.9 B. FY25 revenue was $2.7 B, +13.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +13.9% on average, against 11.7% 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 +13.4%, against +9.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +15.7%, against +14.6% a year (stabilising). ## How much does East West Bancorp keep from what it earns? East West Bancorp, Inc.'s net margin was 50.7% in the Sep 2026 quarter, about the same as the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 48.9% and 52.3%. The latest quarter is within that range. In the latest quarter it moved +0.0 percentage points on the same quarter a year ago. 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 East West Bancorp's loans have gone bad? East West Bancorp, 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 East West Bancorp's loan book growing? East West Bancorp, Inc.'s revenue was $2.7 B in FY25, +13.1% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +3.8% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 50.7%, +0.0 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 East West Bancorp's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? East West Bancorp, Inc.'s P/BV is 2.0×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 96% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.7×, 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 +24.3%. 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 +9.2% a year; about +10.7% a year came from book-value growth and about −1.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). 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 East West Bancorp business getting better or worse? East West Bancorp, Inc.'s business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 8 quarters ago at −11.7% and has recovered to +15.7%, with ROE steady at 16.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. ## How much does East West Bancorp earn on its equity and assets? East West Bancorp, Inc. earned a return on equity of 15% in FY25. That is its lowest yearly reading on file. On its assets, every $100 earned about $1.76, 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: the ROE chart shows the move, but the deposit-cost and bad-loan details behind it are not in our data. ## Does East West Bancorp 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 East West Bancorp shareholding pattern? 3.3% of East West Bancorp, 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 5.0 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 East West Bancorp from balance-sheet trouble? For East West Bancorp, 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 East West Bancorp rank in its industry? 66.2 out of 100, rank 1 of 20 in Banks - Regional, with 80% of the evidence available. East West Bancorp, Inc. scores 66.2 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Banks - Regional, ranking 1. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 19 + 18.4 + 10.5 + 18.3 = 66.2. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is East West Bancorp compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
