Target increase follows quarterly results
MarketBeat said Banner reported quarterly earnings of USD 1.51 per share against a cited consensus of USD 1.41. Revenue reached USD 179.07 million, below the cited estimate of USD 184.24 million. The report also said the shares had traded at USD 70.28 on Friday, October 23, putting the new target above that market level, although the target itself does not guarantee future performance.

The company reported net income of USD 47.7 million, or USD 1.36 per diluted share, according to the company announcement reproduced by MarketBeat. The quarterly figures included the effects of Banner's Pacific Financial acquisition, which closed on September 1, 2026.
