Why Triumph Financial (TFIN) Shares Are Falling Today

What Happened?

Shares of financial services company Triumph Financial (NASDAQ:TFIN) fell 3.4% in the afternoon session after B. Riley Securities downgraded its rating on the company's stock to 'Neutral' from 'Buy', citing valuation concerns. 

The downgrade came as Triumph's stock price neared the analyst firm's $70 price target, which remained unchanged. According to the firm, the risk and reward appeared more balanced at current price levels. B. Riley also expressed caution on valuation, noting the shares traded at 30 times its 2026 earnings per share estimate. Additionally, the firm pointed out that the first quarter is a seasonally weak period for the company.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Triumph Financial’s shares are very volatile and have had 20 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 11.1% on the news that investor fears over a potential credit crisis eased, following reassuring commentary from regional banks. 

After a volatile previous week sparked by news of stress from some U.S. regional banks, sentiment shifted. These events now appear to be isolated, according to market analysis. The recovery was evident as the KBW Nasdaq Regional Banking Index rose, regaining some of its recent losses. Adding to the positive momentum, several regional bank CEOs reported that their loan portfolios remain broadly healthy. This wave of reassuring news helped calm jitters that had revived memories of the 2023 banking turmoil, leading to a recovery in bank stock prices.

Triumph Financial is up 5.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $67.04 per share, it is still trading 27.1% below its 52-week high of $91.97 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Triumph Financial’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,117.
