Eastern Bankshares Inc appears to be a good buy right now, primarily due to its recent strong earnings performance, with a reported EPS of $0.49 for Q2 2026, exceeding expectations by $0.03. Additionally, the company has increased its quarterly dividend by 15.4%, reflecting a commitment to shareholder returns. However, a risk to consider is the company's forward P/E ratio of 11.976, which suggests potential valuation concerns if earnings do not continue to grow as expected.
