EWBC: 10-Q · periodic report
East West Bancorp filed its Q2 2026 Form 10-Q reporting net income of $363.7 million, up 17% from $310.3 million a year earlier, with diluted EPS of $2.63 versus $2.24. First-half 2026 net income reached $721.5 million, or $5.21 per diluted share, versus $4.32 in the prior-year period.
The balance sheet kept expanding: gross loans held-for-investment rose to $59.0 billion from $56.9 billion at year-end 2025, cash and equivalents stood at $5.09 billion, and total stockholders' equity reached $9.25 billion. The allowance for credit losses on loans, leases and unfunded commitments increased $31 million to $889 million, driven by loan growth and a cautious economic outlook.
Capital return accelerated: the quarterly dividend was raised to $0.80 per share in Q2 from $0.60 in Q1, and the company repurchased 937,710 shares for $98.8 million under its buyback program in the first half of 2026.
Credit quality bears some watching — nonaccrual loans climbed roughly 24% to $205 million from $166 million at year-end, and the AOCI unrealized-loss position widened to $414 million, with the company's downside scenario flagging elevated oil prices, inflation, tariffs and still-elevated interest rates.
