As previously reported, Stephens analyst Andrew Terrell upgraded Heritage Commerce (HTBK) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $12, up from $11, following a 13% pre-provision net revenue beat in Q4. The firm attributes the “bulk” of the de-rating of the stock to the company’s ROA compression, but it expects both continued net interest margin expansion as well as stronger relative growth to drive profitability improvement back towards a 1.00% ROAA by Q4 of 2026, the analyst tells investors.
