Linda R. Medler, who serves on the board of PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC), recorded a purchase of 20 shares of the company’s $5 Par Common Stock on March 9, 2026, according to a Form 4 filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares were acquired at $200.38 apiece for a total outlay of $4,007.
As noted in the filing, Medler now directly holds 20 shares of PNC. The company’s common stock is trading at $204.72 at the time of the report. Separate InvestingPro analysis included in filings indicates PNC appears undervalued relative to its Fair Value assessment. The same InvestingPro material also highlights that PNC has sustained dividend payments for 56 consecutive years.
The insider purchase arrives against a backdrop of solid corporate results. PNC reported fourth-quarter 2025 core earnings per share of $5.01, beating analyst expectations. The company attributed the outperformance in part to higher fee income as well as lower provisioning and taxes for the period.
Following the quarterly release, several sell-side firms adjusted their price targets upward. TD Cowen raised its target to $260 while maintaining a Buy rating. Evercore ISI also lifted its target to $260, specifically citing the company’s strong fourth-quarter performance and accelerating loan growth. RBC Capital moved its target to $235, pointing to PNC’s business model and fee-based services. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods set a new target of $247 and referenced PNC’s financial guidance for 2026 in its rationale. Raymond James raised its target to $245, citing a strong outlook and the bank’s track record of exceeding forecasts and consensus estimates.
Taken together, the collection of analyst revisions reflects a generally positive market response to the bank’s reported results. The Form 4 filing documents Medler’s small direct holding, and the earnings and subsequent analyst commentary provide the immediate context for both the insider transaction and market sentiment.
