Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) PT Lowered to $60 at RBC Capital

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 09:07:57 -0400

RBC Capital analyst Gerard Cassidy lowered the price target on Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) to $60.00 (from $62.00) while maintaining a Outperform rating.
The analyst commented: "Under Tim Spence’s leadership, FITB has turned into a strong steward of shareholders' capital. FITB's acquisition of CMA was a prime example of management's focus on creating long-term shareholders' value. The CMA integration has moved along very well as FITB has already exceeded two out of the four goals it set for the deal. The rebuilding of its capital ratios should enable FITB to re-start its stock buyback plan in 4Q26 and into 2027.
