Analyst Ebrahim Poonawala of Bank of America Securities reiterated a Buy rating on M&T Bank (MTB – Research Report), boosting the price target to $218.00.
Ebrahim Poonawala has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including M&T Bank’s strong third-quarter earnings performance, which surpassed both Bank of America’s and consensus estimates. This outperformance was largely driven by lower credit provisioning costs and a modest increase in net interest income and fees. The bank’s guidance for the fourth quarter and share buybacks aligns with both Bank of America’s and consensus forecasts, suggesting a stable outlook.
M&T Bank’s stock is trading at a premium compared to its peers, attributed to its strong capital position and potential for loan growth. The bank has demonstrated superior loan growth, especially in the commercial and industrial and consumer segments, leading to expectations of continued net interest income growth. Additionally, its robust capital ratio offers flexibility for future growth opportunities and share buybacks, reinforcing the Buy rating.
Poonawala covers the Financial sector, focusing on stocks such as Goldman Sachs Group, Fifth Third Bancorp, and US Bancorp. According to TipRanks, Poonawala has an average return of 12.9% and a 69.51% success rate on recommended stocks.
