WBS's growth depends on completing the acquisition by Banco Santander. Revenue growth is steady, but the latest earnings miss raises concerns. WBS trades at 1.3× P/B, slightly above the 1.2× peer median. The price reflects less growth than forecasted, indicating modest expectations. A specific risk is the 20% probability of a miss in the next quarter. Peer multiples imply a price about 1% above where it trades. Our read is provisional.
