Deutsche Bank upgraded Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A (NYSE: BLX) to Buy. PT raised to $21.

Deutsche analyst says, "We recently spent some time on the road with Bladex's CFO and came away pleasantly surprised with increased confidence that management will eventually reach its 15% ROE target, although still a few years away. While we don't think the bank will deliver +20% ROEs like its Latam peers, we think it is more defensive, trades at a steep discount, and compares favorably to Developed Market Banks. Indeed, the bank trades at a discount to most Developed Market peers with similar (or better) profitability and growth prospects."
