BUZZ-Raymond James downgrades Atlantic Union Bank to 'market perform'

Reuters

Dec 05, 2025

** Raymond James downgrades shares of U.S. regional lender Atlantic Union Bank AUB.N to "market perform" from "strong buy"

** Brokerage cuts EPS estimates to reflect lower yields on new loan originations and slower-than-expected accretion from acquisition of Sandy Spring Bancorp and American National Bank

** AUB bought American National in 2024 and Sandy Spring in 2025

** Sandy Spring loan accretion ~25% below projections since acquisition in April; American National accretion likely to be exhausted by early 2027, brokerage says

** AUB's below-peer cash profitability limits ability to widen premium valuation - brokerage

** 6 of 9 analysts rate the stock "buy" or "strong buy", 3 "hold"; median PT at $41 - data compiled by LSEG

** As of Thursday close, AUB down 7.7% YTD
