East West Bancorp: Not Ready To Pull The Trigger On An Upgrade Right Now

East West Bancorp shows impressive balance sheet growth and high asset quality, but declining revenue and profits remain concerns. Despite recent stock appreciation, East West Bancorp's current valuation and mixed financial results justify a 'hold' rating over a 'buy'. The company's net interest income and net interest margin have decreased, while provisions for credit losses and non-performing assets have risen.

Initially rated as "hold" due to overvaluation, EWBC's 20% price drop now presents an undervaluation opportunity with a strong dividend and buyback potential. EWBC focuses on organic growth, avoiding risky CRE loans to maintain high capital ratios, supporting sustainable dividends and buybacks. Deposit growth in 2024, driven by expensive time deposits, is expected to stabilize with non-interest bearing deposits and refinancing opportunities in 2025.
