Today's Trend

Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) is seeing mixed earnings-estimate revisions, with modestly positive full-year changes offset by cuts to several quarterly forecasts. The conflicting outlook may be contributing to pressure on the shares, which remain near their 52-week high.

  • Zacks raised its FY2026 EPS forecast to $2.42 from $2.18, while increasing Q4 2026 EPS to $0.57 from $0.56. The firm also lifted FY2027 EPS slightly to $2.38 from $2.37, Q4 2027 EPS to $0.76 from $0.66, and Q1 2028 EPS to $0.49 from $0.43. Zacks maintained a “Strong-Buy” rating on HTH.
  • Hilltop’s latest reported quarter provides a favorable backdrop: EPS of $0.63 exceeded the $0.49 consensus estimate, and revenue of $315.81 million topped expectations of $306.18 million. The company’s current-year consensus EPS forecast is $2.51.
  • An upcoming preview of Hilltop’s second-quarter 2026 results could provide the next major catalyst for HTH, particularly as investors assess whether recent earnings momentum can support the upgraded full-year outlook. Hilltop Q2 2026 earnings preview
