Huntington Bancshares stock closed at about USD 16.02 on the Nasdaq on September 21, 2026, with a daily gain of roughly 0.85 percent compared with the prior session, per Nasdaq data reflected on Yahoo Finance. The move left the shares trading below levels seen earlier in the month and well under average analyst price targets in the low-USD 20 range, according to coverage summarized by Investing.com. Today, the stock is set to open under the shadow of a fresh price-target cut by DA Davidson after the bank lowered its earnings guidance.
September 21, 2026 session in numbers
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (ISIN US4461501045, Nasdaq: HBAN) recently updated investors on its outlook, trimming its guidance for fiscal 2027 earnings per share to a range of USD 1.75 to USD 1.83 from a previous range of USD 1.90 to USD 1.93, as reported on September 21, 2026 by Investing.com. On the same day, DA Davidson lowered its price target on Huntington Bancshares shares to USD 20 from USD 22 while maintaining a Buy rating, according to Investing.com. Per MarketBeat quote data, the stock previously closed at USD 15.88 on September 18, 2026 on the Nasdaq, implying that the September 21, 2026 close near USD 16.02 represents an increase of around 0.9 percent over the last completed trading day while still leaving the shares below DA Davidson’s revised target and earlier highs, and broadly in line with the modest advances seen in major United States equity indices around that period.
Guidance and analyst focus today
Today, Huntington Bancshares is likely to remain sensitive to investor reactions to its recent guidance cut, which lowered projected fiscal 2027 earnings per share by roughly USD 0.07 to USD 0.15 compared with its previous outlook, as detailed by Investing.com. The new guidance and DA Davidson’s price-target reduction to USD 20 from USD 22, reported on September 21, 2026 by Investing.com, keep the regional lender in focus for analysts and investors assessing earnings power in a higher-rate environment. Broader sentiment toward United States financials and regional banks, together with upcoming macroeconomic data and Federal Reserve commentary, may influence trading in Huntington Bancshares stock into today’s session given its exposure to net interest margins and loan growth.
