FBR Capital upgraded Hudson City Bancorp (NASDAQ: HCBK) from Underperform to Market Perform. PT cut by $1 to $9.
FBR analyst says, "While balance sheet runoff, GSE competition, regulatory compliance costs, and interest rate risk remain concerns, we believe that they are reflected in HCBK's valuation, trading at 85% of tangible book. Hudson City's FDIC insurance expense will increase significantly in 2Q11, but HCBK has a strong case for appeal, given its pristine credit quality, which could result in a reversal in 3Q11 and an increase in our 2012 earnings estimates. Further, any acceleration in the pace of GSE reform would also be a positive catalyst for HCBK's shares, although we are less optimistic on that front."
