Where INDB is headed
Rockland Trust is not the story most regional bank investors are chasing in 2026. There's no AI angle, no crypto custody pivot, no fintech partnership press release. What there is, after the Enterprise Bancorp acquisition closed last year, is a $25 billion-asset commercial bank that owns deposit share across eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire that newer entrants simply cannot replicate. The 51.6% revenue growth print isn't organic magic, it's the deal annualising. Strip that out and the real question is what the combined franchise earns in a normal-rate world with the deposit base properly worked.
