Keefe, Bruyette & Woods upgrades Boston Private Fin'l Holdings (Nasdaq: BPFH) to Outperform. Price target increased to $7.50.

Keefe analyst says, "On Thursday evening, Boston Private announced the sale of its Florida banking affiliate, Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust, to a group of private investors. In our view, the announced sale of Gibraltar represents a potentially game changing event for the company in that balance sheet risk has been significantly reduced without meaningful impact to capital levels."
