Wunderlich Securities upgrades Pinnacle Financial Partners (Nasdaq: PNFP) from Hold to Buy. Price target $26.

Wunderlich analyst says, "Sector weakness has created the pullback in share price that we needed to become more interested in Pinnacle Financial. We view Pinnacle as a best-in-class community bank and we believe that the company s above-average growth prospects are no longer appropriately discounted in the current share price. Additionally, we consider the company's abundant capital and strong coverage of nonperforming loans as supportive of our upgrade."

Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (Pinnacle Financial) is a bank holding company whose primary business is conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary, Pinnacle National Bank (Pinnacle National or the Bank).
