FBR Capital maintains a 'Market Perform' on PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ: PACW).

FBR analyst says, "We expect that PACW Shares will outperform peers today on a strong headline number and some short covering (10% short interest); Overall, PACW reported a strong 2Q11 bolstered by beneficial purchase accounting adjustments on covered loan paydowns. Loan growth remains elusive as loans payoff and demand remains weak."
