Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 33% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 23, 2025
ZION looks beaten down, and the mood around it is very negative. Recent notes show a 145 percent total return over five years and an 8.4 percent dividend increase, which help. A risk is that net interest income could fall, causing swings. If rates drop, bank shares could recover, so a move toward the low $60s in about three months seems possible. Because profits depend on the rate picture, build slowly and have clear exit plans. Expect bumps along the way.
Primary drivers
- Price fell hard and mood is very negative, setting up a possible rebound
- Rising dividend can attract buyers and help limit sharp price drops
- Lower interest rates often lift bank shares by easing profit pressures
- Shrinking net interest income could still weigh on results ahead
How it played out
ZION: thesis rose but missed the target
Lyra published ZION at 57.92 on 2025-09-23 with 15% expected growth and a 66.04 target. The thesis pointed to a hard price fall, very negative mood, a rising dividend, possible support from lower interest rates, and the risk that shrinking net interest income could still weigh on results.
Inside the window, ZION rose, but it did not reach the target. The peak was 60.77 on 2025-12-22, a 4.9% gain. It ended at 60.21. The direction was right and the stock finished above publication, but the published upside thesis only partially played out. It never got there.
What happened during the window
On 2025-10-20, Zions reported third-quarter profit of 221 million, or 1.48 per share, and a 50 million charge tied to two loan accounts. The same report said net interest income rose 8% to 672 million.
