DA Davidson maintains Neutral rating on TriCo Bancshares, $55 price target

DA Davidson kept a Neutral rating on TriCo Bancshares with a $55 price target, suggesting a 4.4% upside. The bank's 3Q26 earnings beat estimates due to loan loss provision reversal and higher fee income, but merger uncertainty with First Hawaiian Bank led to the Neutral rating.
