Barclays analyst Jared Shaw raised the firm’s price target on Popular (BPOP) to $180 from $175 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares.

Loan growth and net interest income trends “look strong” but Barclays has more questions around credit relative to the start of the year as energy prices, AI disruption, and layoff activity “inject uncertainty,” the analyst tells investors in a research note.
