Live Oak Bancshares Inc (LOB) and Acres Commercial Realty Corp (ACR) are currently considered overbought by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), with values of 70.6 and 71.7, respectively. This indicator suggests that these stocks may be overvalued based on their recent price movements. However, both companies have shown significant momentum, with LOB's stock rising 32% in the past month and ACR's stock gaining 15% over the same period. As of Tuesday, LOB shares traded at $35.74, while ACR shares traded at $20.38 [2].Live Oak Bancshares Inc's stock has been bolstered by a recent upgrade from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW) analyst Timothy Switzer. The analyst upgraded LOB from "market perform" to "outperform" and raised the price target from $37 to $43, a 25.4% increase. This upgrade reflects KBW's expectation of several positive catalysts driving shares higher over the rest of 2025. The brokerage also anticipates a turnaround in credit performance in the second half of 2025, which could ease investor concerns [1].
