Reason
DA Davidson assumed coverage of Business First Bancshares with a Buy rating and $32 price target. The firm views Business First as well-positioned to generate additional growth gains with its pending acquisition of Progressive Bancorp solidifying its northern Louisiana market share and merger disruption providing opportunities in Louisiana and Texas, the analyst tells investors.

Reason
DA Davidson raised the firm's price target on Business First Bancshares to $32 from $31 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Pre-provision net revenue beat expectations on better operating expenses, offsetting weaker fees and net interest income, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees an attractive entry point.

Reason
DA Davidson raised the firm's price target on Business First Bancshares to $31 from $29 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company is opportunistically filling in its Northern Louisiana footprint with its acquisition of Progressive Bancorp where the EPS accretion is solid at an estimated 10% on 2026 estimate, assuming full cost saves and tangible book value dilution is manageable, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Stephens analyst Matt Olney lowered the firm's price target on Business First Bancshares to $32 from $34 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The company's Q1 EPS beat was "broad-based," driven by higher non-interest income, better net interest income and lower operating expenses, the analyst tells investors. The firm anticipates a more material capital build in 2025, which could support an improved trading multiple, the analyst added.

Raymond James lowered the firm's price target on Business First Bancshares to $28 from $30 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The Q1 results exceeded consensus on a core EPS/pre-provision net revenue basis, with relatively solid results despite ongoing noise from the acquisition of Oakwood, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Raymond James continues to view risk-reward positively given solid profitability juxtaposed with its discounted valuation vs. peers.
