Where BBT is headed
Beacon Financial is the kind of company that should not exist in 2026. A bank founded in 1846, still headquartered in Boston, still doing trust work for old-money families, but now growing revenue at 141.8% on the trailing twelve months and pulling 44.3% operating margins. Somewhere along the way Beacon stopped being a sleepy New England trust bank and turned into a specialty commercial lender with a wealth management business bolted on. The market is pricing it like the former. The numbers look like the latter.
