Goldman Sachs resumes coverage on Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ: ZION) with a Sell rating and $18 price target.

The firm said with the stock essentially pricing in a 100 bp rise in rates, they see risk to the stock's premium multiple and estimates as rate hike expectations are right-sized.

"In the near term, we see further compression in store for ZION's above-average 3.9% NIM as new loans are originated at lower yields without the floors that have historically supported ZION's NIM," the analyst said.
