Bernstein lists Figure (FIGR) as "Top Pick Stock" for 2026, with the target price raised to $72

2026.01.13 18:41:30

**Jan 13: Bernstein Lifts Figure Tech (FIGR) Target to $72, Names 2026 Top Pick** Bernstein analysts raised Figure Technology Solutions’ (ticker: FIGR) target stock price from $54 to $72 on Monday, designating the firm a “Top Pick for 2026.” The team cited **tokenized lending market growth exceeding expectations** and improving operational leverage, with the new target implying ~38% upside from FIGR’s Monday close of $52.23. Bernstein has rated the stock “Outperform” since initiating coverage in October 2024. In a Tuesday (Jan 14) client report led by Gautam Chhugani, the team noted the blockchain-based lender is well-positioned amid a clearer regulatory framework tied to banking transformation and the proposed U.S. crypto market structure bill (dubbed the “Crypto Bill”). The report highlighted Figure’s blockchain infrastructure replacing traditional banking ledgers, with its tokenized equity business holding long-term growth potential. Bernstein added Figure’s performance has outpaced its “already optimistic” initial forecasts, driven by a partner-focused market model and expansion into new loan categories. Consumer lending volume hit ~$2.7 billion in Q4; Figure Connect (its tokenized lending platform) processed 46% of credit volume, up from the prior quarter. The report emphasized Figure’s active expansion into new products (debt paydown coverage loans, small business loans, crypto-backed loans) alongside its core HELOC business. The firm also plans to launch a tokenized equity platform to create a secondary market by tokenizing its equity, with analysts calling the equity segment a long-term “strategic option” rather than a short-term revenue driver.

Iran Conflict Shifts to Oil Price Game, Iranian Side First Mentions Talks Conditions, Crypto Trades Sideways in Narrow Range Awaiting Direction

March 12 – A turning point emerged in the U.S.-Iran-Israel trilateral conflict overnight and this morning, with the situation now centering on oil prices and U.S. equities. Iran also put forward conditions for negotiations. BlockBeats summarizes key developments below: Last night, led by the U.S., the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced the release of 400 million barrels of emergency oil reserves—marking the largest strategic reserve release in history. Almost simultaneously, former President Trump stated the war would end “very soon.” On the flip side, Iran warned oil prices could surge to $200 per barrel, noting Gulf countries’ oil storage capacities are saturated and nearly 20 million barrels of daily supply still cannot reach the market.

International oil prices spiked sharply Thursday morning, topping $90
