Jefferies initiates coverage on Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE: WAL) with a Buy rating and $8.50 price target.

The firm states, "We like WAL as a risk/reward play on credit recovery and decent growth prospects as the company continues to gain share in a weaker and more rational competitive landscape post-cycle. Despite a challenged economic footprint, we believe WAL will continue to grow the franchise and reduce credit costs, which will allow shares to retrace recent underperformance."
