Citigroup analyst Ben Gerlinger has maintained a "Buy" rating on First Horizon (FHN), increasing the price target from $25.00 to $26.00, a 4.00% increase. This upward adjustment reflects a positive outlook for the company's future prospects. Over the past three months, nine analysts have provided ratings for First Horizon, with an average target price of $24.62, a high estimate of $27.00, and a low estimate of $22.00 [1].First Horizon Corp, the parent company of First Tennessee Bank, has shown strong performance with a 36.2% rally in the past year, outperforming industry peers BOK Financial Corporation (BOKF) and Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR), which gained 5.0% and 16.9% respectively [3]. The company's loan and deposit balances have witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% and 15.1% respectively between 2019 and 2024 [3].
Analysts' ratings and price targets indicate a positive sentiment towards First Horizon. The company's net margin and return on equity (ROE) are below industry averages, suggesting challenges in profitability and efficient capital utilization. However, the debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average, reflecting a conservative financial approach [1].
First Horizon's strong performance and positive analyst sentiment provide a robust foundation for continued growth. However, investors should remain vigilant about rising expenses and potential near-term hurdles [3].
