Jefferies Maintains a 'Hold' on State Street (STT); Revision Reversal; Better on Top and Bottom

Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on State Street (NYSE: STT) price target raised from $38 to $42.

Jefferies analyst says, "Raising estimates following better 3Q result. We are raising estimates ('12 to $3.80, '13 to $4.50) to account for a higher starting point in inv. servicing (custody) fees and net interest income (balance sheet size) post a 3Q beat and a better expense outlook for 2012. Near-term, EPS run-rates should be around $0.90/qtr due to spread income pressure and ikely lower FX fees, but continued momentum in core custody and accelerating cost saves should drive the EPS run-rate closer to $1.00/qtr. by 4Q12."
