Webster Financial stock exits the NYSE after Santander merger

Webster Financial stock ended its NYSE run at USD 77.57 on August 19, 2026, before the bank was absorbed by Banco Santander. The transaction closed on August 20, 2026, and converted each Webster common share into USD 48.75 cash plus 2.0548 Santander American depositary shares, according to The Globe and Mail.

Deal value moved above the final close

The cash-and-stock package was valued at USD 78.89 per former Webster share using Santander's August 28, 2026 closing price, according to TS2. That implied value stood USD 1.32, or 1.7 percent, above Webster's final NYSE close, creating the central numerical comparison for former shareholders.

The merger also ended Webster's standalone reporting and listing status. A Form 15 filed on August 31, 2026 said all Webster shares had been converted through the transaction steps and that the company had no holders of record of its common stock, according to Stock Titan.

Final results show the operating base

Webster's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 769.23 million, up 3.4 percent from the prior year, while EPS was USD 1.60 against USD 1.61 consensus. MarketBeat also reported a 22.78 percent net margin and a USD 0.40 quarterly dividend for the period.

Webster stock becomes a transaction record

The USD 77.57 final price now serves as the last standalone NYSE reference for Webster Financial. The more relevant shareholder outcome is the stated USD 48.75 cash payment and the 2.0548 Santander ADS exchange ratio, rather than a new trading range for WBS.
