What happened
Reached its target in 54 days.
The thesis — published October 17, 2025
First Horizon fell hard after worries about deposits, and the stock looks beaten down. A key profit measure topped Wall Street's estimates, showing the core business still earns well. Fear grew after other regional banks reported loan issues, pushing this lower. The idea is a careful, step-by-step buy for a bounce over the next 0-3 months, keeping position sizes modest while panic stays high.
Primary drivers
- Shares plunged and now look very beaten down after a fast fall.
- Profit per share beat forecasts, suggesting the core business is holding up.
- News about loan troubles at other regional banks increased fear in the group.
- If fear cools, the price may drift back toward more typical levels.
