Pinnacle Financial Partners ( (PNFP) ) has provided an update.
Pinnacle Financial Partners reported first-quarter 2026 results on April 22, 2026, marking its first full quarter after closing the Synovus merger on January 1, which transformed it into one of the largest regional banks with $85.2 billion in loans and $100.1 billion in deposits. Reported diluted EPS fell to $0.89 from $1.77 a year earlier due to $275.4 million of merger-related expenses, but adjusted diluted EPS rose to $2.39 from $1.90, reflecting strong organic loan and deposit growth, net interest margin expansion to 3.53%, robust non-interest revenue gains and disciplined expense management.
The bank added 50 experienced revenue producers during the quarter, signaling continued investment in growth as management said the merger is acting as a catalyst rather than a distraction. Credit quality remained solid, with a non-performing asset ratio of 0.58%, net charge-offs of 0.23%, allowance for credit losses at 1.19% of loans and CET1 at 9.83%, positioning the combined franchise as a scaled, high-growth regional competitor while realizing most expected 2026 cost synergies early in the integration.
The most recent analyst rating on (PNFP) stock is a Buy with a $110.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pinnacle Financial Partners stock, see the PNFP Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PNFP Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PNFP is a Outperform.
PNFP scores well on financial performance (strong cash generation and healthy operating margins) and a positive earnings outlook (loan/deposit growth targets and synergy plan), supported by constructive technical momentum (price above key moving averages, positive MACD). The main offsets are weaker recent top-line trend (negative revenue growth), near-term merger-related cost and capital pressure highlighted on the call, and only modest dividend support despite a reasonable P/E.
