TD Cowen reiterates Hold rating on Zions Bancorp, $69 price target

TD Cowen maintained a Hold rating on Zions Bancorp with a $69 price target, implying a 298.8% upside from the Oct 19 close of $17.30. The bank's recent earnings missed expectations due to weaker net interest income and higher expenses, raising concerns about growth and execution risk. Loan growth guidance is modest, and the bank relies on net interest margin expansion for income.
