Jefferies Cuts Price Target and Estimates on TCF Financial (TCB); Lets Go For a Drag

Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on TCF Financial (NYSE: TCB) price target of $12.00 (from $14.00).

Analyst, Emlen Harmon, said, "Following the release of 2Q12 earnings, we are taking our 2013 EPS down a dime (to $1.05) to account for a higher-than expected expense run-rate. Our 2012 estimate goes to -$1.16 (from -$1.05). The core earnings power of the bank remains uncertain, as it has yet to rehabilitate the profitability of its retail customers, and specialty finance businesses remain in their infancy."
