Truist raised the firm's price target on Pinnacle Financial to $118 from $105 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Bank earnings season begins next week, and SMID regional banks, having underperformed large banks in 2025, could benefit from curve steepening, resumed share buybacks, organic growth, and attractive valuation gaps to regain lost ground, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason

TD Cowen raised the firm's price target on Pinnacle Financial to $125 from $122 and keeps a Buy 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.

Reason

Evercore ISI assumed coverage of Pinnacle Financial with an Outperform rating and $115 price target. Pinnacle Financial is the analyst's top value/idiosyncratic catalyst name amid the mid-cap regionals, says the analyst, who sees a path for re-rating in 2026 after the stock sold off by 17% in 2025 tied to the announced acquisition of Synovus Financial.
