CAPS Rating:
*

A registered bank holding company that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and small to mid-size businesses through its subsidiary bank, East West Bank and its subsidiaries. The Bank is the Company's principal asset.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

THis banking fall is utterly over.


East West Bank is the 2nd mortgage go-to team. And with all the restructuring going on to ease budget constraints, 2nd mortgages are the most convenient way of saving some dough monthly. Maybe not the best investment option, but.......


East West seems to screen their borrowers at a higher standard then most, so they have protected themselves from a lot of the flak that some of the fly-by-night banks weren't able to.

Used to see their commercials every weekend right during the peak of the housing bouble - I'm sure these guys took on a bunch of bad loans outside of their footprint as a deposit institution.

Time to pay the piper East West Bancorp!

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
