East West Bancorp, Inc. (“East West” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EWBC), parent company of East West Bank, reported third quarter 2025 net income of $368 million, or $2.65 per diluted share. Return on average common equity was 17.4%, return on average tangible common equity was 18.5%, return on average assets was 1.84%, while book value per share and tangible book value per share both grew 5% quarter-over-quarter.
“I am proud to report East West’s record-breaking financial results for the third quarter,” said Dominic Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We earned record levels of revenue, net income, and earnings per share. Record net interest income was fueled by deposit-led growth, while higher fee income was driven by notable strength in wealth management, lending, and deposit account fees,” said Ng.
“Asset quality remained resilient. Nevertheless, given the uncertainty in the outlook for 2026, we further bolstered our allowance for loan losses,” continued Ng. “Our significant capital levels, ample liquidity, bolstered reserves, and strong earnings profile enable East West to operate from a position of strength, with the ability to capitalize on opportunities across market environments,” Ng concluded.
