TFC

Truist Financial Corp (TFC) shares saw a recovery in early trading on Thursday after a sharp decline the previous session. BofA Securities analyst Ebrahim Poonawala upgraded TFC from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target from $37 to $43, citing the company's favorable position for potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2024. Poonawala believes that Truist's modest liability sensitivity and potential for management to exceed cost-saving targets following its merger with SunTrust/BB&T will benefit the company. Additionally, the sale of its stake in TIH could unlock capital and provide earnings per share optionality.
