Commentary

Market coverage shows modest buy-side tilt with a narrow analyst range around the mid-$20s and scattered higher targets up to $32.00, creating a cautious constructive tone [#SERP-5][#SERP-2]. Short-term sentiment will hinge on upcoming earnings and any guidance shifts; longer-term sentiment is tied to NIM trajectory and credit performance [#SERP-7].
