Valley National Bancorp (ISIN US9197941076) closed at USD 12.76 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, down 0.47 percent from the prior close. The bank now heads toward its Q3 2026 report on October 22, while its announced Bluevine acquisition adds a strategic digital-banking angle.
October 22 brings the next report
MarketBeat lists October 22, 2026, as Valley National Bancorp's Q3 2026 earnings date, with the release scheduled before the market opens and a conference call at 11:00 a.m. ET. The published consensus is USD 0.33 for quarterly EPS and USD 577.97 million for revenue.
The latest reported quarter was Q2 2026. Valley National Bancorp delivered revenue of USD 560.74 million, up 13.3 percent year over year, while EPS was USD 0.30 versus USD 0.23 in the year-earlier quarter, according to MarketBeat. EPS still came in below the USD 0.31 consensus, creating a clear test for the October report.
Bluevine changes the growth equation
On September 28, 2026, Valley National Bancorp announced an agreement to acquire Bluevine, a nationwide digital banking platform for small businesses. The transaction carries USD 340 million of consideration, split 75 percent cash and 25 percent Valley common stock, according to Valley National.
Bluevine brings USD 2.1 billion of digitally sourced deposits and 175,000 active small-business customers. The company says the deal is expected to be 8 percent accretive to estimated 2028 EPS, but it also implies 5 percent tangible book value dilution at closing and a three-year earn-back period.
Consensus stays above the quote
MarketBeat reports a Moderate Buy consensus from 16 ratings firms, including 9 Buy, 3 Strong Buy and 4 Hold ratings. The average 12-month target is USD 16.19, which places the target USD 3.43 above the October 5 close, or 26.9 percent above it.
JPMorgan lowered its target from USD 17.00 to USD 15.50 on October 1, 2026, while maintaining an Overweight rating, according to MarketBeat. That revision leaves the bank with a positive aggregate view but also highlights the more cautious tone ahead of Q3 results.
VLY stock remains below its yearly high
Valley National Bancorp's October 5 Nasdaq close of USD 12.76 sits within a 52-week range of USD 9.64 to USD 15.20. The stock's market capitalization was USD 7.1 billion and volume reached 5,886,972 shares on the same date, giving the October 22 report a clear valuation and execution test.
