   <description>(Updated - October 6, 2026 9:12 AM EDT)

&lt;p&gt;Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Christopher McGratty raised the price target on Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ: VLY) to $17.00 (from $16.00) while maintaining a Market Perform rating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented: &quot;We are updating our estimates to reflect the recently announced acquisitions of Bluevine and Providence, which together take VLY's ROTCE to 16.7% in 2028E with our revised model factoring in 20%+ EPS growth in 2026E, 2027E, and 2028E. Successful integrations set the stage for a re-rating opportunity from ~1.25x pro forma TBV/share. Revised PT $17.00;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
