Flagstar Financial price target raised to $16 from $15 at Cantor Fitzgerald

Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm’s price target on Flagstar Financial (FLG) to $16 from $15 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Flagstar is expected to see modestly lower net interest income and slightly higher non-interest expenses, partially offset by anticipated share buybacks in 2H26, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Key catalysts include the return to profitability in 4Q25, loan growth in 1H26, NIM expansion, deposit growth, and a reduction in nonperforming assets and criticized loans, all of which could materially improve fundamentals and valuation, Cantor says.
