Piper Sandler analyst Nathan Race upgraded German American Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) from Neutral to Overweight with a price target of $47.00.

The analyst comments: "We upgrade GABC to Overweight from Neutral based on its relatively discounted valuation compared to shares' historical ~2.5x forward P/E premium over peers and its well-above average profitability outlook that likely has upside potential given a number of company- specific catalysts (see below details). More specifically on valuation, GABC currently trades at only 10.3x/9.7x our above consensus 2026E/2027E EPS vs. peers at 9.7x/9.2x. We maintain our PT at $47 that is based on 11.5x our 2027E and consistent with GABC's aforementioned L-T historical forward P/E premium over peers."
