UBS raised the firm’s price target on Wintrust Financial (WTFC) to $176 from $165 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Mid-cap banks have delivered strong results and avoided early Q4 credit concerns, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Investor momentum into regional banks is expected to continue, supported by curve steepening, accelerating loan growth, and M&A activity such as Santander’s (SAN) acquisition of Webster (WBS).
