East West Bancorp Bank of America Financial Services Conference 2026 summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Growth outlook and guidance
2026 is expected to be a strong year, with loans and deposits starting on a positive trajectory and meeting expectations.
Loan growth guidance increased to 5%-7% for the year, reflecting optimism across C&I, consumer, and small business segments.
CRE market activity is improving, with more refinancing options and potential for further improvement if additional rate cuts occur.
CRE growth will be constrained to maintain portfolio balance, focusing on existing strong clients rather than new customer acquisition.
C&I growth is broad-based, supported by hiring bankers with expertise in verticals like charter schools, ESOPs, and aerospace.
Strategic initiatives and expansion
Expansion efforts target underpenetrated markets, especially on the East Coast, with both organic and acquisition opportunities considered.
M&A strategy is focused on incremental, smaller deals that add capabilities, such as wealth management or trust services, rather than community concentration.
Crossing the $100 billion asset threshold is viewed more flexibly due to potential regulatory changes, with no urgency to pursue deals.
Organic growth remains robust, with no deals since 2014, but complementary acquisitions are not ruled out.
Deposit and funding strategy
Loan growth is expected to be funded primarily through deposit growth, with a tightening competitive landscape for deposits.
Retention of existing deposits is prioritized over aggressive pricing, with focus on small business and consumer account growth.
Net interest income growth is tied to loan growth, with risks mainly from unexpected interest rate cuts.
Balance sheet risk management includes a shift to fixed-rate securities and maintaining strong liquidity through repo facilities and treasuries.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
