Prosperity Bancshares News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Prosperity Bancshares this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks raised several near‑term and FY2026 estimates — including Q1 2026 to $1.37 (from $1.35), Q2 2026 to $1.52 (from $1.51), Q4 2026 to $1.65 (from $1.64) and FY2026 to $6.09 (from $6.07). These upward tweaks point to modestly stronger 2026 earnings expectations, which can support share momentum. Zacks estimate revisions
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks left the consensus for the company’s current full‑year earnings broadly similar to market expectations (the consensus cited is $5.83 EPS), so while some quarters moved, overall consensus remains near existing forecasts. Market consensus
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks also trimmed several estimates — Q4 2025 to $1.42 (from $1.44), FY2025 to $5.66 (from $5.68), and reduced FY2027/Q3 2027 projections slightly — signaling some localized downward pressure on near‑term comps and longer‑range estimates. Those cuts temper the positive revisions and represent risk if the trend continues. Zacks estimate cuts
