Webster Financial Shares Slide Despite Record Earnings Amid Broad Market Sell-Off
Webster Financial Corporation (WBS) saw its stock price tumble 3.39% to $63.97, defying a strong quarterly performance that included record net income of $248.7 million. The decline occurred against a backdrop of widespread market pressure, overshadowing the bank's operational achievements.
Revenue climbed to $746.2 million as loan and deposit balances expanded, with the loan portfolio reaching $56.6 billion. Deposit growth to $68.8 billion underscored stable funding, yet investors remained focused on macroeconomic headwinds rather than fundamental strength.
