Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on IberiaBank (NASDAQ: IBKC) price target of $48.00 (from $53.00).

Analyst, Emlen Harmon, said, "While the company continues to show enviable asset growth, it has yet to meaningful operating leverage necessary to sufficiently boost earnings growth. Our expenses estimates still leak upward as a higher expense rate in the quarter more than offsets the benefit of an announced efficiency plan. Our '12 estimate goes to $2.50 (from $2.70), and '13 goes to $3.05 (from $3.25)."
