Michael Diana has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the positive outlook for Customers Bancorp. The company reported strong second-quarter results for 2025, with core earnings per share significantly surpassing expectations, largely driven by a wider net interest margin and solid loan growth. This performance has led to an increase in guidance for loan growth and net interest income for the latter half of 2025, suggesting a robust financial trajectory.
Additionally, the onboarding of new commercial banking teams and the completion of regulatory-related expenses are expected to become favorable factors moving forward. The company’s strategic deposit remixing is anticipated to support balance sheet expansion, further enhancing its financial position. These developments, along with an improved efficiency rate and a raised earnings estimate for 2026, underpin the decision to increase the price target to $90, reflecting confidence in Customers Bancorp’s continued growth and valuation potential.
In another report released yesterday, D.A. Davidson also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $78.00 price target.
CUBI’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $57.020 to $65.740, which is a 15.29% increase.
