EQH

Equitable Holdings remains a "Strong Buy," supported by robust financials, a favorable rate environment, and the upcoming Corebridge merger. EQH is on track for $1.8 billion cash generation and at least $4.30/share capital returns in 2026, with buybacks reducing share count by 8%. The CRBG merger is expected to deliver $550 million in cost synergies and ~10% EPS accretion by 2027, with minimal regulatory risk.

Equitable Holdings, Inc. (EQH) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.7 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.1 per share a year ago.
