The average price target above the current stock price and the majority of positive ratings (bullish and somewhat bullish) suggest a short-term positive impact on HWC's stock price. However, the decrease in the price target indicates some caution, which may temper the positive impact. The confidence level is high due to the direct correlation between analyst ratings and stock price movements, but not at 100% because analyst ratings are not the only factor affecting stock prices.
