UBS has raised its price target on SouthState Bank (SSB) to $121 from $120, maintaining a Buy recommendation following strong fourth-quarter 2025 results from mid-cap banks. The firm expects continued momentum in regional banks due to yield curve steepening, loan growth acceleration and increased merger and acquisition activity. SouthState reported fourth-quarter net income of $247.7 million, up 71.8% year-on-year, with diluted earnings per share rising 31.6% to $2.46. Return on average assets improved 24 basis points to 1.47%, whilst return on common equity increased 178 basis points to 10.90%.
