Keefe, Bruyette & Woods upgraded First Commonwealth Financial (NYSE: FCF) to Outperform. PT $7.

KBW analyst says, "The recent pullback in share price has resulted in shares trading below tangible book value, an attractive entry point, in our view; we raise our rating to Outperform. While the bank will most likely continue to deal with additional credit costs in the near term, we believe that the bank's capital buffer is strong enough to withstand pending credit problems. Our forward estimates and $7 price target remain unchanged."
