Timur Braziler has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight F.N.B.’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. The company has demonstrated leading operational leverage within its group, driven by robust net interest income (NII) momentum, effective cost management, and a clean credit profile. F.N.B.’s limited exposure to non-deposit financial institutions and absence of private credit exposure further mitigate perceived risks, making it an attractive investment option.
Moreover, F.N.B. is experiencing growth in commercial loans and fee income, which are expected to positively impact its revenue in 2026. The management’s guidance for NII and fees has been revised upwards, indicating confidence in continued financial strength. Additionally, F.N.B.’s strategic focus on deposit growth and competitive pricing has resulted in increased market share, while ongoing investments in technology and data science are expected to enhance operational efficiency. These factors collectively support the Buy rating, with a price target reflecting a favorable valuation relative to its earnings and tangible book value.
In another report released yesterday, Truist Financial also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $18.50 price target.
