Webster Financial: A Bit More Upside Is Warranted
Webster Financial's stock has outperformed the S&P 500, and despite recent gains, I maintain a soft 'buy' due to continued value. Balance sheet improvements, rising deposits, and proactive credit loss provisioning support my cautious optimism, though debt has increased. Valuation remains attractive—WBS is the cheapest among peers on P/E and price-to-book, with solid asset quality and above-threshold returns.
