BUZZ-BankUnited falls after Q2 profit miss, outlook cut ** Regional lender BankUnited's BKU.N shares fall as much as 7.8%, last down 5.1% at $45.63
** BKU posted Q2 profit below Wall Street estimates and cut its annual forecasts for interest income and loan growth
** "BKU turned in somewhat underwhelming 2Q26 results, underscored by lower than expected NII, loan growth, and deposit growth," Piper Sandler analysts said
** "We view the changes as more reflective of disciplined underwriting and increasingly competitive loan pricing rather than a deterioration in the underlying franchise or a change in messaging," Raymond James analysts said, referring to downward revisions to full-year forecast
** As of last close, BKU stock up 7.9% YTD
