ZIONS BANCORP N A (ZION) is down -5.33% in the latest session. Our newswire has captured 11 stories on ZION across 5 sources in the last 36 hours, with AI sentiment reading mixed (avg 53/100).
ZION stock fell 5.33% to $68.06 in morning trading on Tuesday as mixed analyst ratings and earnings details from the regional bank weighed on investor sentiment. The stock opened with a 4.3% gap down from the prior close and has traded in a wide range since. The Basis acquisition timeline and diverging analyst price targets have added to the uncertainty.
Zions Bancorporation reported second quarter results that included a non-GAAP EPS of $1.74, which beat estimates by $0.17, and revenue of $1.14 billion, exceeding expectations by $263.48 million. However, the bank’s net interest income and margin fell short of analyst estimates, contributing to the stock’s decline. The company also outlined an adjusted PPNR target of $332 million for 2026, with expected operating leverage of 100-150 basis points, and provided a timeline for the Basis acquisition to close in the third quarter.
Analyst activity has been mixed. TD Cowen raised Zions’ price target citing concerns about net interest income guidance, while Stephens cut its price target due to a shortfall in NII. Baird also raised its price target to $75 but maintained a neutral stance. These conflicting signals have contributed to the stock’s volatility.
Intraday trading showed a wide range, with the stock peaking at $69.85 at the open and falling to a low of $67.10 before stabilizing near $68. Volume has been elevated at 0.6 million shares, or 0.4 times the 3-month average. The stock is currently trading within its 52-week range of $46.19 to $73.34. Recent insider transactions include a $263,000 sale by an executive on May 8. Retail traders on social media have highlighted the earnings beat but also noted the underperformance in NII.
The company’s full earnings call transcript and ongoing analyst coverage will be key to monitor. With the Basis acquisition expected to close in Q3, investors may look for further clarity on integration plans and financial impact in the coming quarters.
