Stock Track | Eastern Bankshares Stock Declines on Merger Integration Costs and Office Loan Concerns

Stock Track10-26

Eastern Bankshares Inc. (EBC) saw its stock plummet 5.32% on October 25, 2024, following the release of its third-quarter earnings results. The decline appeared to be fueled by the company's higher expenses related to its merger integration with Cambridge Trust, as well as concerns over the weakness in the office commercial real estate market.

In its Q3 2024 earnings call, EBC reported that it had completed the merger with Cambridge Trust during the quarter, which expanded its operations but also led to significant one-time costs associated with the integration process. The company incurred $30.5 million in merger-related expenses, along with a $40.9 million increase in loan loss reserves for the acquired loan portfolio from Cambridge Trust.

A significant portion of these increased reserves was allocated to office commercial real estate loans, reflecting the deteriorating conditions in that sector. EBC acknowledged that the office market had weakened over the past year, prompting the company to conduct a thorough review and reunderwriting of all office loans over $5 million. As a result, EBC established an 8% reserve against its total investor office loan portfolio of $900 million.
