Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 60% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published March 26, 2026
SouthState looks like a clearer regional bank pick for the next 0-3 months because its recent quarterly sales beat expectations, the balance sheet is solid, and analysts just upgraded the stock. Shares trade slightly below the recent average price. If regional bank sentiment stays stable, the stock could be revalued higher.
Primary drivers
- Analyst upgrade after a strong quarterly report
- Consistent earnings beats show steady execution
- A strong balance sheet reduces downside risk
- Shares are slightly below the recent average price with room to revalue
How it played out
SSB: the thesis partially played out
Lyra published SSB at $91.66 with an expected 17% rise and a $107.24 target. The thesis pointed to an analyst upgrade after a strong quarterly report, consistent earnings beats, a solid balance sheet, and shares trading slightly below their recent average price.
Inside the window, SSB rose to a peak of $101 on April 17, a 10.2% gain. That peak stayed below the $107.24 target, so the target was never reached. The stock ended the window at $99.75 on June 24, above the published price but below both the peak and target. The thesis partially played out.
What happened during the window
On April 23, 2026, SouthState reported first-quarter diluted earnings per share of $2.28 and net income of $225.8 million. The board also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share, payable May 15, 2026.
