Evercore ISI Has Outperform Rating on Corebridge Financial (CRBG), Following Solid Q4

Corebridge Financial Inc. (NYSE:CRBG) is one of the 13 Deep Value Stocks to Buy Right Now.

Evercore ISI, on February 10, slightly trimmed its target price on Corebridge Financial by 2.6% to $37 (from $38) but retained its Outperform call on the stock. The price target update comes a day after the company released its Q4 2025 earnings, which the firm described as a “solid quarter.” The release showed a deceleration in management’s guidance for EPS growth for 2026, which just about offset the positive impact coming from the improved quality and reduced rate cut sensitivity of the company’s portfolio.

For context, Corebridge’s management is projecting a 10% to 15% growth in earnings per share for 2026. They further added that growth will likely be closer to the lower end of the range, given the likelihood of the US Fed cutting rates in 2026. This growth range represents a 3-percentage point to 5-percentage point deceleration vs. the 18% EPS CAGR from 2022 to 2025.

Corebridge also showed that it has reduced its portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rate cuts by 75%. It achieved this result through better duration matching its assets and liabilities and heavier utilization of floaters (variable rate investments) in its asset allocation.
