Keefe, Bruyette & Woods upgrades Pacific Capital Bancorp (Nasdaq: PCBC) to Market Perform. Price target $5.

Keefe analyst says, "We are upgrading PCBC to MP based on valuation. The shares have come in below our price target and we do not feel that an UP rating is still warranted at these levels. Our outlook for PCBC and the California banking market has not changed (we remain cautious) and we are not changing our price target at this time. We are adjusting our 2009 estimate for the FDIC special assessment."
