02:55 PM EDT, 04/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

After digesting Q1 earnings and accounting for the recently-improved geopolitical environment, we increase our 12-month target price by $11 to $51, 7.8x our 2027 EPS estimate, a discount to the peer average of 10.1x given ALLY's more volatile earnings. We increase our 2026 EPS by $0.24 to $5.46 and raise 2027's by $0.36 to $6.55. Our revenue projections are $9.0 billion in 2026 and $9.6 billion in 2027. ALLY delivered encouraging Q1 results, with continued improvement in credit quality. After several years of weakness, loan growth has now accelerated for three consecutive quarters, a positive development we have been watching closely. Q1 was particularly strong, with consumer applications reaching an all-time high of 4.4 million. That said, the interest rate environment remains a headwind, as rate cuts are unlikely to materialize until late 2026 or 2027. On the positive side, ALLY and its banking peers stand to benefit from the newly-proposed Basel III capital rules. Shares yield 2.7%.
