The latest update is out from Renasant ( (RNST) ).

Effective March 11, 2026, Renasant Bank amended the employment agreement of senior executive M. Ray (Hoppy) Cole, Jr., shifting his eligibility under the Performance Based Rewards Plan from off-cycle performance periods to a standard calendar-year basis in line with other top executives. The change includes a 75% prorated cash bonus opportunity for calendar year 2025, reflecting his nine months of service that year after joining in April 2025.

The amendment also grants Cole, if he remains employed through the April 1, 2027 expiration of his agreement and then departs, a PBRP payment equal to 25% of his target award for three months of service in 2027, while continued employment beyond that date would qualify him for a full calendar-year 2027 bonus on terms consistent with other senior leaders. All other material terms of Cole’s contract remain unchanged, underscoring that the adjustment is focused specifically on harmonizing his bonus structure with Renasant’s broader executive compensation framework.

The most recent analyst rating on (RNST) stock is a Hold with a $43.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Renasant stock, see the RNST Stock Forecast page.
