Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on December 27, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 36% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 28, 2025
Zions looks beaten down but has helpful news. Q2 revenue grew 7.9% compared to last year and topped forecasts. Sentiment is unusually strong. Trend is still soft, so consider easing in as the recent average price improves. Analysts recently kept a Buy view with a strong value mark, and expected rate cuts could help. A bounce over the next 3 months is possible if credit and commercial real estate risks stay calm.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down; early signs of firming after recent weakness.
- Q2 sales rose 7.9% compared to last year, beating what analysts expected.
- Positive coverage and value rating add confidence to the investment case.
- Expected rate cuts could lower funding costs and support margins and lending.
