Mixed Reviews for CapStar Financial Holdings Stock

CapStar Financial Holdings, a Tennessee-based financial services provider, has received mixed reviews from several research analysts in relation to its stock. Janney Montgomery Scott lowered the bank’s rating from “buy” to “neutral”, with a target price of $19 per share, while DA Davidson cut its rating from “buy” to “neutral”, assigning the firm a target price of $18.50. StockNews.com was even more bearish and slashed its rating on CapStar Financial from “hold” to “sell”. One analyst rated the stock as a buy, four issued hold ratings and one rated it as a sell. The average price target for CapStar Financial stands at $18.70, with an increasingly bearish sentiment as time goes on.

The market performance of CapStar Financial suggests little cause for optimism. Its stock traded at only $14.62 per share during trading on Thursday; a 12-month high of $22 doesn’t do much to reassure wavering investors that there are better times ahead either. Its market capitalization rate is just over $315m, whilst its quick ratio is 0.91 and debt-to-equity ratio is 0.13; hardly figures that will inspire confidence in potential or would-be stakeholders.

However, some remain undaunted by these statistics, including director Thomas R Flynn who recently acquired over 10,000 shares of the company since March this year alone despite elements of negativity surrounding the company’s future prospects.

Several leading hedge funds have also bought into CapStar Financial in recent months with Voya Investment Management leading the way — having increased its stake by purchase during Q4 last year. AQR Capital Management added an additional 15% to its stake and many other institutional investors followed suit throughout Q1 this year.

CapStar Financial provides commercial banking services alongside consumer banking solutions like money market accounts and credit services across Wealth Management service lines making it somewhat diversified due to trade diversification alone. Despite the bearish sentiment for the stock among some analysts, the verdict of the market will remain strictly within its hands to determine its future financial fate as long as investors continue backing it.
