Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on City National (NYSE: CYN) price target raised $1 to $48.

Analyst, Casey Haire, said, "While a lower for longer rate environment will lead to underwhelming ROEs and more NIM compression, CYN is still poised to modestly grow EPS thanks to deposit growth, cost discipline, and low credit costs. Capital management is unlikely to make a meaningful splash with buybacks off the table and few M&A opportunities big enough to move the EPS needle."

Jefferies raises FY12 EPS estimate from $3.35 to $3.40 and FY13 from $3.60 to $3.65.
