Janney Montgomery Scott upgrades BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT) to Buy. PT $28.
JMS analyst says, "BB&T's diversified banking and fee-based business model has enabled the company to survive the worst of the downturn and will allow it to absorb significant hits from loan sales that are likely to occur over the next couple of quarters. Ridding the portfolio of problem loans should meaningfully hurt near-term earnings but accelerate profitability later in 2011. This combined with the potential commercial loan growth that the company demonstrated this quarter, bodes well for long-term shareholders."
