Cullen/Frost Bankers (ISIN US2298991090) was last at USD 153.83 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, down 0.78 percent from the prior close. The immediate catalyst is analyst action: Barclays lifted its price target from USD 160 to USD 175 while keeping an Equal Weight rating, according to Markets Insider on October 5, 2026.

Barclays raises its target

The new Barclays target stands 13.66 percent above the prior close cited in the report. The bank pointed to improving deposit-cost trends and additional support from fixed-rate asset repricing, according to Markets Insider.

The analyst backdrop is mixed rather than uniformly bullish. Evercore ISI cut its target from USD 181 to USD 166 on October 1, 2026, while keeping an In Line rating, as reported by Markets Insider.

Second-quarter earnings set the base

Cullen/Frost Bankers reported diluted EPS of USD 2.70 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, above the USD 2.55 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 576.01 million against a USD 589.72 million forecast, while the prior-year EPS figure was USD 2.39, according to MarketBeat.

That combination matters for the stock: earnings per share exceeded expectations, but revenue fell short of the comparison estimate. Net margin stood at 23.34 percent for the quarter, showing why funding costs and balance-sheet growth remain central to the regional bank story.

MarketBeat's consensus shows a Hold rating from 14 analysts, with five Buy ratings, eight Holds and one Sell. The average target is USD 166.75, which lies 8.4 percent above the USD 153.83 price on October 5, 2026, according to MarketBeat.

Third-quarter date approaches

The next measured checkpoint is third-quarter reporting. MarketBeat lists October 29, 2026, for the Q3 report and gives a consensus EPS estimate of USD 2.79.
