Comerica Inc. shares rose as the company reached a 52-week high, reflecting positive investor sentiment following its recent financial results.
The company reported a Q4 net profit of $164 million, with earnings per share (EPS) increasing to $1.27, up from $1.22 last year. This performance comes despite challenges related to its pending merger with Fifth Third Bancorp, which has led Comerica to forgo an earnings conference call to focus on integration efforts. The slight revenue increase of 0.3% to $577 million further indicates the company's resilience in a competitive market.
Overall, Comerica's strong financial health and strategic positioning in the financial services sector suggest a solid foundation for future growth, enhancing its appeal to investors.

TD Cowen analyst Janet Lee raised the firm's price target on Comerica to $94 from $89 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm adjusted bank targets as part of a Q4 earnings preview. TD expects "solid" Q4 reports for the banks with continued balance sheet growth, repricing tailwinds, and a "likely more dovish" Federal Reserve chair in 2026. These "durable tailwinds" should lift bank stocks in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
