Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:13:20 -0400

StoneX analyst Brett Rabatin lowered the price target on Equity Bancshares (NYSE: EQBK) to $58.00 (from $59.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.

The analyst commented, "We are adjusting our FY26E $0.14 higher to $5.18 (core) and moving our FY27E lower by $0.11 to $5.27, mostly on the NIM. We are also introducing a FY28E of $5.73, which assumes ~9% EPS growth and slightly higher profitability than our FY27E (but slightly lower than 3Q26). Our PT moves $1 lower to $58, still 11x our forward estimate. We still think the valuation discount to peers should dissipate as the organic growth story becomes

While EOP loan growth picked up in 3Q to 3% LQA, we prefer greater visibility on EQBK's prospects to consistently generate at least MSD organic loan growth, which will be key in eventually narrowing the ~20 bps gap between

Stephens analyst Terry McEvoy lowered the price target on Equity Bancshares (NYSE: EQBK) to $60.00 (from $61.00) while maintaining a Overweight rating.

While the 3Q26 NIM/NII performance slipped (due to smaller balance sheet / elevated IB deposit costs), we anticipate a rebound in 4Q26 due to improving loan growth and benefits from the Fed's recent +25 bps hike on its asset sensitive balance sheet. The Lincoln acquisition is expected to
