TD Cowen notes that First Citizens (FCNCA) reported Q4 core EPS above the firm’s and Street’s estimates, with the beat driven by a $86M reserve release. However, the mid-point of the 2026 guidance implies pre-tax, pre-provision income that is about 4% below the prior consensus, notes the analyst, who has a Buy rating and $2,600 price target on the shares.
