The news of Raymond James maintaining an Outperform rating on Amerant Bancorp (NASDAQ:AMTB) and lowering the price target from $26 to $24 may not have a significant short-term impact on the stock price. However, it indicates that the analyst still believes in the company's potential for growth, albeit with a slightly lower price target. This could influence investor sentiment and potentially affect the stock price in the medium to long term.
