Bill Carcache has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both positive and cautionary elements in Zions Bancorporation’s performance and outlook. The bank reported a stronger-than-expected core earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025, driven by higher revenues and a favorable pre-provision net revenue outlook. This positive financial performance led to an upward revision in earnings estimates and a slight increase in the fair value range.
However, despite these positive developments, there are cautionary signs that justify a Hold rating. The bank’s credit quality remains stable, excluding a recent isolated fraud loss, and there is no further exposure identified. Yet, potential risks from private credit exposure, particularly the spillover risk due to liberal lending structures and lack of covenants, present a yellow flag. These mixed factors suggest that while there is some upside potential, the risks warrant a more cautious stance, leading to the Hold recommendation.
According to TipRanks, Carcache is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 12.7% and an 85.71% success rate.
In another report released today, Jefferies also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $55.00 price target.
