2026/01/28
Buy now (long-term). BFH is trading near a key support zone (~68.31) with improving Street sentiment and higher price targets driven by a turnaround/credit-improvement narrative. While near-term technicals are still slightly bearish, options activity leans bullish (call-heavy volume) and the risk/reward is attractive for a beginner long-term investor deploying $50k–$100k today.
Technical Analysis
Price is ~69.73, sitting just below the pivot (70.75) and above first support (S1=68.31). Momentum is still soft but stabilizing: MACD histogram is negative (-0.797) yet contracting (bearish pressure easing), RSI(6)=39.1 (weak/lean-bearish but not oversold), and moving averages are converging (suggesting consolidation rather than a strong downtrend). Near-term levels: support 68.31 then 66.80; resistance 73.19 then 74.70. Overall: basing behavior near support with improving downside momentum.
Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Recent trend is clearly upward in price targets and tone: UBS initiated Buy ($92). BofA raised to $88 (Buy), KBW raised to $92 (Outperform), TD Cowen raised to $85 (Hold), Evercore raised to $81 (In Line), Goldman upgraded to Neutral ($84). Offsetting this, Morgan Stanley and Barclays kept Underweight ratings with lower targets ($62 and $61), even after raising them.
Wall Street pros: strengthening balance sheet/capital, improving credit losses, potential revenue growth inflection and multiple expansion. Cons: valuation/upside debated after rebound, and bears still expect limited upside with downside risk if credit/revenue don’t sustain improvement.
Influential/politician trading: No recent congress trading data available; insiders and hedge funds are reported Neutral with no significant recent trading trends.
