UMB Financial (UMBF) Stock Forecast & Price Target
UMB Financial (UMBF) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
UMB Financial Corp. is experiencing positive momentum in key areas, notably an 11% increase in residential mortgage balances as the company expands into new regions. The successful acquisition of HTLF is expected to enhance the deposit base and strengthen overall revenue quality, targeting an earnings per share (EPS) of $11 by 2026. Furthermore, the company’s multi-generational owner-operator management is anticipated to sustain growth, contributing to a favorable outlook for its financial performance as it approaches historical valuation multiples.
Bears say
The negative outlook on UMB Financial's stock is primarily driven by the potential for unexpected merger-related costs that could lead to dis-synergies, along with the resurgence of credit issues and slower-than-anticipated growth. Financial metrics indicate that the forward price-to-earnings multiple is projected to decrease to 10.8x based on consensus estimates, suggesting diminished investor confidence. Additionally, the consensus earnings per share forecast for 2026 underwent a downward revision from $11.33 to $11.05, reflecting broader concerns about the company's financial outlook.
