Overweight
Reason
Piper Sandler raised the firm's price target on Investar Holding to $27 from $22 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm says the acquisition of Wichita Falls Bancshares by Investar is expected to result in TBV dilution of about 11.8% including the associated capital raise, a level management views as acceptable given the strategic benefits and about 2.9 year earn back. The deal is projected to be highly accretive to earnings, with estimated EPS accretion of 35%-36% post-integration, driven by cost savings, funding cost improvements, and the benefits of scale.

Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Stephen Scouten assumed coverage of Investar Holding with a Neutral rating and $21 price target. While Louisiana s banks seem to trade at a bit of a discount over time, Home Bancorp should show stable progress in 2025 and its expansion outside of the state will continue to pay dividends over the longer term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm sees a longer path to peer-like profitability for Investar given its liability-sensitive balance sheet.
