Nike To $100? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Wednesday

Evercore ISI Group analyst John Pancari upgrades M&amp;T Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>) from In-Line to Outperform and raises the price target from $187 to $210.

Evercore ISI Group Upgrades M&T Bank to Outperform, Raises Price Target to $210

Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by 50 basis points at its September Federal Open Market Committee meeting, lowering the federal funds rate in the range of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead" rel="noreferrer noopener">4.75%-5%</a>.
The Fed also hinted at the potential for additional cuts in the coming months, with the updated dot plot revealing a more aggressive rate-cutting trajectory than <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecasted in June</a>.
Morgan Stanley economists anticipate an additional 150 basis points of rate reductions by mid-2025, with the U.S. economy steering clear of a recession.
Morgan Stanley highlights the banks expected to see the greatest net interest margin (NIM) expansion or compression through the end of 2025, based on the projection that short-term rates will decrease by 200 basis points.
Midcap banks are in a stronger position as they experienced greater pressure on deposit costs (higher deposit betas) when interest rates increased. They anticipate this pressure to ease at a similar pace as rates fall.
Also, midcap banks hold more fixed-rate assets that were issued when rates were much lower in 2021 and 2022, allowing for higher repricing even as rates decrease coupled with lower liquidity requirements.
For midcap banks, the analyst identifies Prosperity Bancshares Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PB#NYSE">PB</a>), rated Overweight, as offering the best risk-reward profile. The firm is expected to experience one of the largest net interest margin (NIM) expansions through the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by the upward repricing of fixed-rate loans and securities.
Similarly, Cadence Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CADE#NYSE">CADE</a>), newly rated Overweight, is projected to benefit from a significant rise in NIM as deposit costs decline. It has minimal exposure to floating-rate loans and net cash, which tend to weigh on earnings when interest rates drop.
While M&amp;T Bank Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>), the analyst&#8217;s top pick, ranks in the middle of the group, Morgan Stanley writes that future rate cuts will slightly boost NIM—a view that contrasts with the broader market consensus, which sees rate cuts as a long-term negative for margins.
Rate cuts are advantageous for the seven major large-cap banks sensitive to liabilities. These money center banks also have significant revenue exposure to capital markets, likely boosting fee income growth in a low-rate, soft-landing scenario.
Morgan Stanley expects this environment to strongly support M&amp;A and Equity Capital Markets (ECM) activity. Additionally, lower rates are generally a credit positive for the banking sector.
For large-cap banks, Morgan Stanley holds an Overweight rating on Citigroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), citing expectations for a rebound in capital markets revenues amid a lower-rate environment and a sharp increase in buybacks following the Basel Endgame reproposal.
Regions Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>) and U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>) are favored due to their liability sensitivity and commercial and industrial loan growth potential to accelerate post-rate cuts.
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) is highlighted for its strong excess capital levels and the possibility of progress on lifting its asset cap, which could favorably tilt the risk-reward outlook.

Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs Poised For Gains Amid Fed Rate Cuts - Morgan Stanley

M&amp;T Bank's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>) short percent of float has risen 12.39% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.60 million shares sold short, which is 2.45% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.88 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>M&amp;T Bank Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727452818_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for M&amp;T Bank has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing M&amp;T Bank's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, M&amp;T Bank's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.49%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Deep Dive Into M&T Bank Stock: Analyst Perspectives (13 Ratings)

Wedbush analyst David Chiaverini maintains M&amp;T Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>) with a Outperform and raises the price target from $208 to $210.

Wedbush Maintains Outperform on M&T Bank, Raises Price Target to $210

The Federal Reserve's decision to reduce interest rates by 50 basis points on Wednesday has set the stage for a notable shift, particularly in the banking sector among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/small-cap-analysis">mid- and small-cap banks</a>.
With rates expected to drop further over the next two years, JPMorgan analyst Steven Alexopoulos believes this marks a crucial inflection point. This and further cuts should help boost banks' net interest margins (NIMs) while reigniting commercial loan demand. The steepening yield curve and easing credit concerns will help banks recalibrate deposit costs, improving performance across various segments.
Let's break down the investment opportunities among large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap banks, as outlined by Alexopoulos.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Large-Cap Banks: Poised For Growth</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">First Citizens BancShares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>)</h4>
First Citizens stands out with its SVB segment likely to benefit from the Fed's cuts. With lower rates, the company expects a resurgence in venture capital (VC) investment and IPO activity. This should bolster its sizable SVB loans and deposits. Trading at a discount to peers, this stock offers a compelling value. Alexopoulos also sees potential for significant multiple expansion as the market re-rates it.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBAN#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>)</h4>
Huntington positions itself to take advantage of improving commercial and industrial (C&amp;I) loan demand by aggressively hiring bankers in growth markets like the Carolinas and Texas. As the Fed eases, the bank anticipates accelerated earnings, strong loan growth, and a solidified position in the sector.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">M&amp;T Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>)</h4>
As the Fed eases, M&amp;T's criticized loans should see an improvement in credit quality, particularly in the commercial real estate (CRE) sector. This will likely reduce the bank's need for high reserve levels and allow for increased buybacks. The analyst says that trading below its historical valuation, M&amp;T offers an opportunity for re-rating as the economic outlook brightens.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mid-Cap Banks: Reaping The Benefits Of Lower Rates</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Western Alliance (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>)</h4>
Western Alliance will benefit from the lower rate environment, seizing opportunities to reduce deposit costs and ease credit concerns. According to Alexopoulos, its exposure to the startup economy and capital call lending positions it well to take advantage of a potential resurgence in venture capital and IPO markets, making it a standout mid-cap pick.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pinnacle Financial Partners (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNFP#NASDAQ">PNFP</a>)</h4>
Pinnacle plans to lower its high deposit rates, boosting net interest income (NII). The analyst says Pinnacle operates in high-growth markets in the Southeast and sports above-peer loan growth. This, combined with easing concerns around credit quality, makes it an attractive investment as the Fed continues its rate cuts.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Cullen/Frost Bankers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFR#NYSE">CFR</a>)</h4>
Despite its asset-sensitive balance sheet, Cullen/Frost will benefit from the Fed's cuts by focusing on organic expansion in Texas's fastest-growing cities. The potential for improved loan demand, especially in commercial real estate, should drive outsized growth. Alexopoulos sees this as presenting a revaluation opportunity for the stock.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small-Cap Banks: Ready For Resurgence</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Live Oak Bank (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOB#NASDAQ">LOB</a>)</h4>
Live Oak, with most of its deposits in market-rate accounts, expects a significant reset in funding costs as rates decline. This niche growth bank plans to lead loan growth by capitalizing on improved borrower demand as borrowing cost uncertainty diminishes.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Metropolitan Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCB#NYSE">MCB</a>)</h4>
Metropolitan stands to benefit from easing concerns around its CRE loans, with the Fed's cuts reducing fears about credit quality. The bank's unique focus on niche sectors and proactive credit management positions it well for an economic rebound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Amalgamated Bank (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAL#NASDAQ">AMAL</a>)</h4>
Amalgamated, a smaller player exposed to high credit risk profiles, will improve as rates decline. The bank's focus on social impact banking combined with a favorable rate environment should alleviate concerns around credit stress. Alexopoulos sees this as providing room for upside in its share price.
As the Fed signals further easing, banks across segments will capitalize on improving economic conditions, rising loan demand, and a recalibration of deposit costs. With the runway for a soft landing widened, now is a compelling time to consider these names for your portfolio.

Bank Stocks Hit Inflection Point After Fed's 50 Basis Point Cut, Analyst Reveals Top Picks

M&amp;T Bank Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>) is gearing up to report results in early October, after having reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39865383/m-t-bank-analysts-boost-their-forecasts-following-upbeat-earnings">upbeat earnings for the second quarter</a>.
The U.S. Federal Reserve cutting its benchmark interest rates could be a catalyst for the company's credit metrics and drive stronger earnings growth, according to JPMorgan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e4054351b9b00018beea5/steven-alexopoulos">analyst Steven Alexopoulos</a>.
The M&amp;T Bank Thesis: Alexopoulos upgraded the rating for M&amp;T Bank from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $183 to $215.
While there are currently "several overhangs on the stock," a recent meeting with CFO Daryl Bible indicates that these fears could "erode considerably" over the next several quarters, triggering an outperformance of the bank's shares, Alexopoulos said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The Fed lowering rates could be "a catalyst to drive improved credit metrics at MTB," the analyst stated. The lower rates could also be an "opportunity for the company to demonstrate NIM neutrality to the markets as it relates to short-term rate moves," he added.
"Once the company is able to demonstrate a stable NIM in the backdrop of reduced short-term rates while its credit metrics are concurrently improving, we believe this will quickly set the stage for bottom-line EPS expectations to improve (and potentially dramatically) as not only required provision expense declines but this also sets the stage for the company to announce a much larger buyback in 2025," Alexopoulos further wrote.
MTB Price Action: Shares of M&amp;T Bank had risen by 0.16% to $171.04 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
