Betsy Graseck’s rating is based on a combination of factors including Truist Financial’s recent performance and future projections. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) estimates have been adjusted slightly, with a minor decrease in 2026 due to higher expenses, but an increase in 2027 driven by a lower share count and higher net interest income (NII). Despite a slight miss in net interest income this quarter, expectations for a rebound in net interest margin (NIM) and loan growth are positive indicators.
Moreover, Truist Financial’s management has outlined promising medium-term targets, such as doubling revenue growth in 2026 and achieving mid-teens return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) by 2027. The company’s capital market activities have shown recovery, and wealth management is benefiting from strong market conditions. While the valuation appears attractive with potential for increased operating leverage and capital returns, the Hold rating reflects a balanced view of these positive prospects against the current market price.
In another report released today, KBW also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $49.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 21 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of TFC in relation to earlier this year.
