In a report released today, Steve Moss from B.Riley FBR reiterated a Buy rating on Comerica Inc (NYSE: CMA), with a price target of $110. The company’s shares opened today at $96.18.
Moss noted:
“We reiterate our Buy rating on Comerica (CMA) as a hawkish Fed, combined with a strong capital position, bodes well for CMA’s earnings outlook over the next 12-18 months. CMA’s recent mid- quarter update was on balance positive as QTD loan growth is in line with our expectations, despite a modest decline in deposits. We expect a continued upward bias to both our estimates and consensus given the likelihood of four rate hikes by the Fed (we currently model three in 2018), management’s expense control, and the probability of significantly greater capital deployment. We raise our estimates to reflect our updated assumptions for NIM trends given 2Q18 LIBOR trends and higher capital deployment than we had previously modeled (we now estimate a 132% combined payout ratio).”
