Our Call

Key takeaway from the CEO and CBO: the merger—after a clean, uneventful first 12m price target US$120.00

quarter—continues to track ahead of expectations, with the recent deck reinforcing

confidence in FY27 EPS. PNFP remains our Top-Pick, as we look for shares to re-rate to

Takeaway #1: Revenues

Trading data and key metrics

Revenue is modestly softer, largely driven by BHG, as more production is being retained

and securitized—delaying recognition but improving predictability versus secondary

market sales (faster revenue realization). The NIM update, while below our model but

closer to consensus, reads positively, with deposit costs and loan yields exceeding

expectations; the shortfall is driven by incremental debt issuance and a higher cash/

securities mix. Avg. daily volume ('000) 435

Avg. daily value (m) US$39.7

Takeaway #2: Loans/Deposits Common s/h equity (12/26E) US$14.6b

Incremental commentary on the balance sheet was constructive, with management P/BV (12/26E) 1.0x

indicating that loan growth is running ahead of expectations, supported by hiring Tier 1 ratio 10%

momentum and broad-based production rather than utilization-driven demand. This EPS (UBS, diluted) (USD)

reinforces high-end tracking within the unchanged FY26 guide and supports the ~$92B 12/26E

year-end bogey as the key KPI.
