Benchmark Reiterates Buy Rating on Equity Bancshares (EQBK)

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:03:45 -0400

Benchmark analyst Brett Rabatin reiterated a Buy rating and $57.00 price target on Equity Bancshares (NYSE: EQBK).

The analyst commented, "Following earnings, we are adjusting our FY26E $0.05 lower to $4.99 (core) and moving our FY27E higher by $0.03 to $5.21. Our PT remains $57, still based on 11x our forward estimate. We think the valuation discount to peers should dissipate as the organic growth story becomes more evident, which should take place during 2H26E."

DA Davidson analyst Jeff Rulis reiterated a Neutral rating and $51.00 price target on Equity Bancshares (NYSE: EQBK).
