  • Eastern Bankshares (EBC) Appears Undervalued Despite Strong Multi-Year Gains
    February 2, 2026, 9:08 AM EST. Eastern Bankshares (EBC) shows robust multi-year share price performance, rising 42.3% over 5 years and 16.8% in the past year.

The model estimates an intrinsic value near $47.37 per share, suggesting a significant disconnect with market pricing.
