Current thesis
The post-earnings read is that Webster still delivered a respectable quarter despite being in transaction mode: adjusted EPS of $1.57 modestly exceeded the $1.53 consensus referenced by Zacks, while loan growth, deposit stability, 3.36% NIM, and 11.42% CET1 suggest the franchise is entering the merger process from a position of operating strength.
