Eastern Bankshares, Inc.
At today's price, Eastern Bankshares, Inc. (EBC) is priced for 11.2% return on equity. boothcheck doesn't publish a fair value or a price target; it shows what the price assumes, so you can judge whether that bar is too high. Built from SEC EDGAR filings.
At $20.60 the market pays about 1.1x tangible book (TBVPS near $19.19) and implicitly asks the bank to sustain a roughly 10.8% return on equity; the reported return looks near 2% but that is depressed by HarborOne merger costs, with operating EPS of $0.40 versus a reported $0.29 in the first quarter of 2026. The asset base anchors the price: bank fair-value and excess-return models cluster near $15.73 to $18, just below the quote, so this is a value and asset-supported name rather than a growth
