Stephens has increased its price objective for Texas Capital Bancshares to $114 from $111, maintaining an Overweight rating following the bank’s impressive fourth-quarter earnings. The bank reported significant growth in both net interest income and overall revenue, positioning itself near a 52-week price high. Forecasts for 2026 suggest continued growth in pre-provision net revenue and improvement in asset returns, despite anticipated seasonal pressures in upcoming quarters.

Key Points

  • Stephens raised the price target on Texas Capital Bancshares stock from $111 to $114, maintaining an Overweight rating, highlighting confidence in the company’s valuation.
  • The bank exceeded Q4 2025 earnings expectations driven by strong net interest income, effective cost controls, and stable credit conditions.
  • Guidance for 2026 includes anticipated high-single-digit growth in pre-provision net revenue and improved returns on assets, though Q1 2026 may experience profitability headwinds due to seasonal and expense factors.

Investment research firm Stephens raised its target stock price for Texas Capital Bancshares (NASDAQ:TCBI) to $114 from the previous $111, while affirming an Overweight rating on the shares. This revised target suggests an upside potential compared to the current trading price of approximately $102.24, with the bank’s stock hovering close to its 52-week peak of $105.36.

The upward revision follows Texas Capital Bancshares’ fourth-quarter 2025 financial report, which surpassed consensus expectations. The strong performance was largely driven by notable gains in net interest income, disciplined cost management, and stable credit quality across the portfolio. Over the last twelve months, the bank achieved diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $6.79, underpinned by total revenues reaching $1.2 billion, reflecting a remarkable year-over-year increase of 38.76%.

Stephens attributed the robust net interest income to increased mortgage warehouse volumes and loan yields in the held-for-investment segment exceeding prior projections. The firm further pointed to the bank’s preliminary outlook for 2026, which anticipates a high-single-digit increase in pre-provision net revenue on a year-over-year basis alongside ongoing enhancement in the return on assets.

However, Stephens highlighted that profitability is expected to reach its lowest ebb in the first quarter of 2026 due to higher expense accruals and seasonal constraints affecting Texas Capital’s investment banking and mortgage business units.

In parallel industry developments, Texas Capital Bancshares’ fourth quarter of 2025 results notably outpaced estimates, registering EPS of $2.08 versus the $1.76 anticipated, translating into an 18.18% earnings surprise. Revenue stood at $327.48 million, slightly exceeding the forecast of $323.29 million.

Following these results, RBC Capital responded by elevating its price target on Texas Capital Bancshares from $105.00 to $110.00, while retaining a Sector Perform rating. RBC Capital cited the solid quarterly performance as the basis for the improved price objective, albeit noting some expected seasonal headwinds.

These earnings results and updated price targets underscore Texas Capital Bancshares’ strong financial trajectory and the recognition by analysts of its continued growth potential amid certain operational challenges.

Risks

  • Seasonal factors and expense accruals in early 2026 could depress profitability, particularly impacting investment banking and mortgage segments.
  • Dependence on loan yields and mortgage warehouse volumes implies sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations which affect net interest income.
  • RBC Capital’s Sector Perform rating and modest price target increase suggest some caution around potential earnings volatility despite recent positive results.
