First Citizens BancShares ( (FCNCA) ) has shared an update.

First Citizens BancShares reported solid fourth-quarter 2025 performance, with net income rising to $580 million and adjusted net income reaching $648 million as loan growth—especially in its Global Fund Banking franchise—offset modest pressure on net interest margin. The bank returned $900 million to shareholders via buybacks, prepaid $2.5 billion of a Purchase Money Note largely funded by securities runoff, and managed a slight decline in total deposits alongside stable funding and credit quality, while integrating SVB Commercial into its Commercial Bank segment and absorbing higher technology, personnel and marketing costs as it scales its platforms.

The most recent analyst rating on (FCNCA) stock is a Buy with a $2390.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on First Citizens BancShares stock, see the FCNCA Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on FCNCA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FCNCA is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial performance (strong profitability and free cash flow despite leverage and revenue softness) and favorable technical trend signals. Earnings call updates support the outlook via continued loan/deposit growth, capital strength, and buybacks, while increased charge-offs and segment caution cap upside. Valuation is reasonable on P/E, but the low dividend yield provides limited support.
