Wunderlich Securities downgrades Synovus Financial (NYSE: SNV) from Hold to Sell. Price target $1.50.
Wunderlich analyst says, "We are downgrading Synovus to Sell with a price target of $1.50 following yet another quarterly disappointment. The Q309 shortfall versus our estimate was largely due to significantly higher credit costs than we expected. With the disturbing credit trends that were evident in Q309, we are doubtful that the company can return to profitability anytime soon; thus, continued losses will likely erode TBV/share significantly over the next 12 to 18 months. Despite a recently completed $600 million equity offering, our model suggests that additional capital could be needed if Synovus is to survive this credit cycle, which would likely erase any remaining value for existing shareholders."
