Peoples Bancorp Inc is a good buy right now due to its recent earnings report showing an adjusted EPS of $1.04 for Q3 2026, which is a 13.04% surprise over estimates, and a strong YTD change of +26.66%. The current price of $38.20 is below the analyst price targets of $42 and $46, indicating potential upside. However, the main risk is the recent acquisition of Capital Bancorp, which has raised concerns about dilution due to the issuance of over 18 million new shares, leading to a nearly 6% drop in stock price post-announcement.
