Bears Say
Analyst Ratings And Price TargetsMultiple analyst downgrades and lowered price targets align the stock to the proposed takeout value, reducing potential upside from independent research-driven revaluation.
Regulatory And Approval RiskForeign acquirer involvement increases the likelihood of additional regulatory scrutiny, which can lengthen the approval process and create deal timeline uncertainty that weighs on the stock.
Valuation Cap From Deal TermsDeal terms that mix cash and acquirer stock create uncertainty about the final value received and are likely to cap further upside by tying valuation to the buyer's metrics.

WBS Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
Overall the call conveyed a positive operational and financial performance profile: solid full-year profitability and capital generation, diversified loan growth, improving credit metrics, and strategic investments in growth verticals. Headwinds include elevated deposit competition, some near-term expense pressure from investments, GAAP adjustments in the quarter, and two remaining concentrated problem loan pools (office and health care) that are being actively managed. Management provided conservative but constructive guidance for 2026 with capital return optionality intact.View all WBS earnings summariesWBS Stock 12 Month Forecast
