Barclays Maintains an 'Equalweight' on Texas Capital Bancshares (TCBI); 3Q11 EPS Follow-up: Continued Robust Loan Growth Drivers Upside

Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Texas Capital Bancshares (NASDAQ: TCBI) price target of $30.00.

Barclays analyst says, "Significant earning asset growth, driven by expansion in both loans held for investment and loans held for sale, helped TCBI grow net interest income despite modest NIM compression during the quarter. Furthermore, credit quality continued improving, with NPAs and provision declining. Still, competition within its footprint has been picking up of late, middle market customers have held back a bit due to economic uncertainty, and continued mortgage warehouse growth is dependent on the broader interest rate environment."

"We are increasing our 2011 EPS estimate by $0.05 to $1.95, as net interest income continues to benefit from loan growth (pipeline remains strong), while modestly increasing pressures on loan yields are partially offset by increased funding from lower cost borrowings. Similarly, we are raising our 2012 EPS estimate $0.10 to $2.20."
