Regions Financial price target lowered to $26 from $28 at Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo lowered the firm’s price target on Regions Financial (RF) to $26 from $28 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares as part of a Q1 earnings preview for the large-cap banks. The firm is bullish on the sector on a one-year view citing the “biggest deregulation in three decades,” but note that Q1 outlooks “may be tricky” given policy uncertainties. Wells reduced estimates by 4% for Q1 and 2% through 2027. The key reason is a “degree of paralysis” from policy uncertainty that makes Wells more conservative for investment banking, loans, fixed asset repricing, and reserves, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citi (C) and JPMorgan (JPM) remain the firm’s top picks.
