Atlantic Union Bankshares shares moved after analysts pointed to stronger loan growth, an improving net interest margin, and planned returns of capital as key tailwinds for the regional bank. These fundamental drivers are seen as supporting the bank’s earnings power even in a mixed rate environment.
Reflecting this more optimistic outlook, Morgan Stanley lifted its price target on the stock to $47 from $44 while maintaining its Equal Weight rating. The firm signaled that, although the stock is not a top conviction pick, the improved backdrop justifies a higher valuation range for investors to watch.
