Piper Sandler and Keefe Bruyette have, at different points in 2026, raised their price targets by about US$1. This signals that some analysts see upside potential if Banc of California executes on its current plan.<\/p>\n

The earlier target increases suggest there is still a case, in some research, for the bank to close part of the gap between its modeled fair value and where more cautious targets are being reset.<\/p>\n

Piper Sandler later reduced its target by US$3, and JPMorgan cut by US$4.50. This highlights concerns around earnings power and execution risk that could limit how quickly the story improves.<\/p>\n

The combination of recent target cuts and prior increases underlines how divided analysts are on growth prospects and valuation. As a result, there is a wider range of opinions on what counts as a reasonable trading range.<\/p>\n
