For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect RF to report a profit of $2.61 per share, up 12% from $2.33 per share in fiscal 2025. Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 9.6% year-over-year to $2.86 in fiscal 2027.

Shares of RF have rallied 14.9% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.1% return and the State Street Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF’s (XLF) 2.2% drop over the same time period.

Shares of RF fell 5.2% on Feb. 27, tracking a broader selloff in banking stocks. The downturn was driven by the collapse of Market Financial Solutions Ltd, which heightened investor concerns about rising credit risk and potential loan defaults across the financial sector.

Wall Street analysts are cautious about RF’s stock, with an overall "Hold" rating. Among 25 analysts covering the stock, seven recommend "Strong Buy," one suggests a "Moderate Buy,” 14 indicate “Hold," and three advise “Strong Sell.” The mean price target for RF is $30.72, indicating a 19.3% potential upside from the current levels.
