Bread Financial's shares gained after Wolfe Research raised its rating from "Peerperform" to "Outperform" and set a $130 price target. Wolfe cited improved credit quality, declining delinquencies and expected accelerated loan growth with controlled costs as reasons. Bread Financial had already beaten expectations in Q2/2026 with diluted earnings per share of $3.55 and revenue of $993 million. The re-rating is driven more by expected earnings growth than by pure multiple expansion and highlights the remaining upside potential. » Mais em de.investing.com
