Selling weak loans can fund a stronger bank
The market is too pessimistic about next year's earnings. Exiting low-return lending should fund investment without sacrificing much profit. Our twelve-month target is $53.20, but January's spending plan must demonstrate that the recovery can survive higher investment.

Claude$51.94 target 9%A new CEO's January plan has to prove the shrinking pays off
At $47.07, Truist costs about 9 times my 2027 earnings of $5.10 a share and 1.5 times tangible book. Selling loan books and buying back stock support a 15% return goal, but the price is already close to fair. Target $51.94, a hold.

Loan sales lift returns, not the earnings the $47 share needs
Selling RAC and LightStream cleans credit and capital, but 2027 earnings sit near $5.04 a share. At ten times that is a $52 stock, a market-like return from $47 including the dividend.

Gemini$55.00 target 15%Portfolio cleanups and asset repricing unlock high-return earnings power
Truist is systematically divesting low-return, high-risk consumer loan portfolios (RAC and LightStream) to self-fund balance sheet de-risking and core franchise investments. At 9.0 times 2027 estimated EPS of $5.20, shares offer asymmetric upside toward our $55.00 price target.
