Co. organizes its operations into two operating segments: Consumer and Business Banking, which provides consumer and commercial deposits, mortgage and home equity loans, and other products and services and originates commercial loans for small and medium-sized enterprises; and Commercial Banking, which primarily generates commercial loans and deposits, including commercial business loans and lines of credit, trade finance loans and letters of credit, commercial real estate loans, construction lending, and equipment financings. The EWBC stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the EWBC stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2016 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the EWBC annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
