Investing.com - DA Davidson raised its price target on Bank of Marin Bancorp (NASDAQ:BMRC) to $27.00 from $24.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The new target represents a 13% upside from the current price of $23.96, with analyst targets ranging from $25 to $29.

The firm cited margin momentum and stabilizing credit quality as encouraging themes for the bank. These positive factors support the higher valuation despite challenges in balance sheet growth. According to InvestingPro analysis, while the company faces near-term profitability challenges, analysts expect positive earnings this year.

DA Davidson noted that the lack of balance sheet growth currently hinders greater profitability gains for Bank of Marin Bancorp. However, the firm sees improved growth prospects ahead for the financial institution.
