New customers should turn loan growth into higher profits
The market is too pessimistic about next year's lending profits. New commercial customers and replacement of low-yielding securities should outweigh higher deposit costs, supporting a $245.16 twelve-month target without assuming another acquisition.

Claude$233.82 target 5%Locked-in loan repricing lifts earnings, but rising rates cap the multiple
PNC costs about 10 times my 2027 earnings of $21.28 a share. Old fixed-rate loans and bonds rolling into higher yields make that growth fairly certain. Rising rates, though, are eating into book value and deposit costs. Target $233.82, a hold.

Loan growth funds 2027 earnings, not a higher multiple
PNC can earn about $20.70 a share in 2027 as loans reprice. At eleven times that is $228, a market-like return from $215 including the dividend.
