Reason
UBS lowered the firm's price target on Hercules Capital to $18 from $20 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares as part of a Q1 earnings preview for the business development companies. The focus for investors during earnings will be on the outlook for credit quality given the increased economic uncertainty, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that while the pullback in the sector has made valuations more attractive, the overhang from credit quality concerns and earnings drag from lower short-term rates will persist. UBS cut price targets to reflect a lower return on equity outlook from slower loan growth and lower target multiples given increased economic uncertainty.

Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Crispin Love lowered the firm's price target on Hercules Capital to $20 from $23 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes asset managers have underperformed financials and the broader market in 2025-to-date, and in recent days, following outperformance in 2024. Sentiment and the outlook have shifted dramatically in what was initially believed to be an environment primed for alternative asset managers for deal activity and realizations following the Trump election to one that is now grappling with tariffs, a potential recession and a capital markets window slamming shut, Piper argues. Unfortunately, given the fluidity of the current environment "we will likely finish 1Q25 earnings season with more questions than answers with uncertainty in current policy and impacts to the macro and asset managers unclear," Piper says.
