# Webster Financial share price (Webster Financial Corporation, WBS) > Webster Financial Corporation is reporting record margins. WBS · Financials · Banks - Regional · data as of 19 August 2026. Page: https://www.sectoralpha.in/us/stocks/wbs Sector Alpha also publishes a daily newsletter that explains one Indian stock at a time: https://newsletter.sectoralpha.in/?utm_source=sectoralpha&utm_medium=ai_text&utm_campaign=llms ## Key numbers - Business trend: Getting better, from the last 12 quarters - Price: $77.57 (+26.2% in a year) - P/BV: 1.3× (higher than 87% of the last 5.1 years) - Revenue (Jun 2026): $708 M (+5.8% on a year ago) - Profit (Jun 2026): $249 M (−0.9% on a year ago) - Net margin: 35.2% (−2.4 points on a year ago) - ROE: 11%, FY25 - ROA: 1.22%, latest Biggest thing to watch: the net margin is the best this company has ever reported. Every ratio looks better at a record, so the story depends on the net margin staying high. ## What is the Webster Financial share price? Webster Financial Corporation's share price was $77.57 at the close on 19 August 2026. It has been rising for 44 weeks. That is 11.4% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $54 and $79, and at that close it sat 94% 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 5 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +128% while the S&P 500 moved +260%, so it is behind 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 Webster Financial pay? Webster Financial Corporation paid $1.60 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.40 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $77.57 that is a yield of 2.06%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Webster Financial on? Webster Financial 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 Webster Financial profitable? Webster Financial Corporation earned $249 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −0.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $975 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 25.0% a year on average. That is 35.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $252 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $975 M (+31.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +5.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.4 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +22.1% and revenue +11.5%. 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 Webster Financial make, and is it growing? Webster Financial Corporation reported $708 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +5.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 20.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.8 B. FY25 revenue was $2.7 B, +13.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.5% on average, against 20.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +11.3%, against +6.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +19.4%, against +12.4% a year (accelerating). ## How much does Webster Financial keep from what it earns? Webster Financial Corporation's net margin was 35.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.4 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 28.4% and 36.4%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 5 years it has been between 28.4% and 36.4%, and FY25's 36.4% is the highest of them. 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. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## How many of Webster Financial's loans have gone bad? Webster Financial Corporation 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 Webster Financial's loan book growing? Webster Financial Corporation's revenue was $2.7 B in FY25, +13.0% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +5.8% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 35.2%, −2.4 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 Webster Financial's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Webster Financial Corporation's P/BV is 1.3×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 87% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.1×, over 5.1 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 low: this lender earns about 11% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each dollar of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +26.2%. 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 +9.8% a year; about +9.6% a year came from book-value growth and about +0.2 percentage points from the multiple (roughly no change). 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 Webster Financial business getting better or worse? Webster Financial Corporation's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 7 quarters ago at −13.7% and has recovered to +19.4%, with ROE steady at 10.2%. 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 Webster Financial earn on its equity and assets? Webster Financial Corporation earned a return on equity of 10% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 8% in FY22. On its assets, every $100 earned about $1.22, 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 return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why ROE moved: profit grew 25.0% 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 Webster Financial 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 Webster Financial shareholding pattern? 0.0% of Webster Financial Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. 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 Webster Financial from balance-sheet trouble? For Webster Financial Corporation, 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 Webster Financial rank in its industry? 50.9 out of 100, rank 11 of 20 in Banks - Regional, with 56% of the evidence available. Webster Financial Corporation scores 50.9 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Banks - Regional, ranking 11. Some evidence is missing, so the score is pulled toward the middle on purpose. The three scored parts add up to the total exactly: 23.4 + 14.6 + 12.9 = 50.9 (no relative-strength reading this week; its 20 points are shared across the other three). 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 Webster Financial compared with? Webster Financial ranks 11 of 20 Banks - Regional companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 50.9 out of 100. 1.

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.
