UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on BB&T Capital (NYSE: BBT) price target of $35.00 (from $34.00).

Analyst, Greg Ketron, said, "Q2 had a number of positive trends indicative of the broad-based growth at BBT: above average loan growth, elevated insurance and mortgage revenues, advantageous funding trends, positive underlying expense trends, and continued sharp declines in ORE expenses from a concentrated effort to reduce NPAs. Excluding a $29 million TruPS redemption benefit, NII was stable despite a 6-bp NIM decline." (FY12 EPS estimate raised from $2.70 to $2.74)
