Ben Gerlinger has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest potential upside for Flagstar Financial’s stock. Despite some near-term pressures stemming from political developments, Gerlinger believes that the fundamental impact on the company will be minimal in the short to medium term. He expresses confidence in the company’s commercial real estate credit profile, which he views as strong relative to its allowance for credit losses.
Additionally, Gerlinger anticipates that any future interest rate cuts could benefit Flagstar Financial more than its peers, positioning the company favorably for the second half of 2025. He underscores the potential for significant share price appreciation over the next 12 months, suggesting that recent political events might present an attractive entry point for investors. Overall, the expected share price return of 39.4% further supports his optimistic outlook.
In another report released on June 20, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $14.00 price target.
