UMB Financial (UMBF) Stock Forecast & Price Target
UMB Financial (UMBF) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
UMB Financial Corp, or UMBF, exhibits strong core fee income growth prospects, driven by share gains in its fund services and other institutional businesses, alongside an 11% increase in residential mortgage balances from geographic expansion. The company is projected to achieve an earnings per share of $11.75 by 2026, supported by improved loan growth contributions from Heartland following credit improvement and further penetration into new regions. Additionally, UMBF's favorable credit quality outlook and superior balance sheet growth potential, along with strong revenue growth in its less capital-intensive fee income segments, contribute positively to its financial outlook.
Bears say
UMB Financial Corp is facing several downside risks that contribute to a negative outlook, primarily stemming from potential merger-related costs and credit issues that may hinder growth. The company's expectation for a flat core net interest margin (NIM) in the fourth quarter, along with a drop in the earnings multiple for 2026 EPS projections, indicates weakening profitability prospects. Additionally, the operational risks associated with integration challenges and customer attrition, coupled with misjudged credit risks, could further exacerbate future earnings volatility.
