Keefe, Bruyette & Woods have maintained their Outperform rating on Coastal Financial, keeping a steady price target of $114.00. This comes amid the company’s recent announcement of a material weakness and the need to restate its financials, though analysts emphasized that this restatement does not affect the bank’s earnings per share (EPS) or core key performance indicators (KPIs). The analysts have expressed confidence in Coastal Financial’s financial position, noting that the revisions are minor and do not impact the core financial metrics.

Coastal Financial’s strategic initiatives include sponsoring Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD)’s new banking product suite, with the Gold Card being highlighted as a significant growth driver. The bank’s recent partnerships with companies like Dave and T-Mobile are expected to have an immediate impact on its financials. Analysts project an impressive earnings per share growth of over 155% from 2024 to 2026, citing the company’s strong regulatory positioning and improving return profile. The firm’s commitment to digital banking innovation and its reasonable valuation further contribute to its status as a top pick in the digital banking sector.
