Stephens analyst Terry McEvoy upgraded Fifth Third Bancorp to Overweight with a $27 price target. The analyst believes the company is positioned to outperform in 2019. With improving returns on assets, Fifth Third can close its price-to-earnings multiple gap over the next 12 months, McEvoy tells investors in a research note. Further, he believes the company recently reaffirming its 2019 outlook and offering a "firm message" on future expenses was a "step in the right direction."
