Barclays yesterday morning upgraded UMB Financial (UMBF) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $95, up from $91. The company’s strong quarter took a back seat to news of the Heartland Financial (HTLF) deal which propels UMBF over the $50B threshold, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says UMB’s standalone business had a great quarter while the acquisition adds potential upside to fiscal 2026 estimates.
