Piper Sandler Says Elevated Credit Costs Continue to Weigh on First Internet Bancorp (INBK)
Piper Sandler analyst Nathan Race raised the price target for First Internet Bancorp (INBK) to $24 from $23.50, while maintaining a Neutral rating. The firm noted that elevated credit costs, including net charge-offs and loan loss provisions, continue to affect the company's asset quality, potentially jeopardizing its 2026 guidance, though improvement is expected in the second half of the year. Despite these credit challenges, First Internet Bancorp reported strong Q1 2026 results, with total revenue up 21% year-over-year and deposits growing to $5 billion.
