What do the recent dates mean?

Valley National's recent chronology runs from October 7, 2026, when it scheduled the third-quarter results for October 22, 2026, to October 20, 2026, when it declared a USD 0.11 common dividend. The current event came on October 22, 2026, with USD 206.3 million of net income and USD 0.36 diluted earnings per share, according to the company release.

Stock valuation and banking risks

Valley National has a market capitalization of USD 7.8 billion and a 52-week range of USD 10.34 to USD 15.20 as of October 26, 2026. The current EUR quotation sits below the upper end of that primary-market range after conversion differences between venues, so the company figures are the cleaner comparison.

The main counterweight is credit quality. The company reported USD 37.1 million in net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2026, up from USD 14.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, while non-accrual loans reached USD 511.4 million at September 30, 2026.
