The analyst's reiteration of a Sector Perform rating and the increase in the price target from $85 to $91 are positive signals for investors. The strong 2Q24 EPS, driven by better-than-expected net interest income and fee revenues, along with improved tangible book value per share and core return metrics, indicate a favorable market position for STT. The company's continued success in winning new mandates and a strong pipeline for the next 12 months further support a positive outlook.
