Equitable Holdings ( (EQH) ) has provided an announcement.
Equitable Holdings, Inc. said it is considering repurchasing shares of its common stock ahead of its pending merger with Corebridge Financial, Inc., which was announced on March 26, 2026. Any buybacks would occur before the deal closes, including during the period between filing a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC and the start of its mailing.
To proceed, Equitable would need Corebridge to waive a merger-agreement provision that currently bars share repurchases while the transaction is pending. The company emphasized there is no certainty it will execute buybacks, and if it does, the scale, pricing, timing, and method would be at its discretion, underscoring ongoing deal uncertainty and potential impacts on capital management and shareholder returns.
The most recent analyst rating on (EQH) stock is a Buy with a $58.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Equitable Holdings stock, see the EQH Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on EQH Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EQH is a Neutral.
The score is held down primarily by weakened financial strength (notably the sharp equity deterioration to negative in 2025) and a bearish technical setup with the stock below key moving averages. These are partially offset by improved recent cash generation, a constructive 2026 outlook from management (cash and EPS growth guidance), and a reasonable valuation with a moderate dividend yield.
