However, Baird analysts said that the Zions' loss was not systemic but rather a one-off issue. Also, Raymond James analysts agreed the risk for the bank seems contained. However loans at-risk level are rising. Zions will report Q3 earnings on Monday. The stock is up almost 5% in premarket today. Baird upgraded the Zions from Outperform to Outperform and $65 target, which is almost 40% higher than current share price.
