Stephens raises Triumph Financial stock price target on transport gains

Stephens raised Triumph Financial's (TFIN) price target to $70 from $67, citing strong performance in factoring and payment segments driven by transportation tailwinds. Q3 2026 EPS missed estimates due to higher loan loss provisions, but pre-provision net revenue beat expectations. The company aims for $400M in operating expenses in 2027, with analysts divided on future performance.
