Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on SunTrust Banks (NYSE: STI) price target of $29.00 (from $28.00).
Analyst, Ken Usdin, said, "We view STI's Coke (NYSE: KO)(NotCovered) sale and balance sheet derisking as a modest positive as it eliminates the mortgage repurchase overhang and creates a cleaner earnings run-rate for '13. We increase our '13 estimate by $0.10 to $2.75 as lower credit-related expenses offset lost net interest income. We increase our price target to $29 as a result of our new estimate."
FY12 EPS estimate raised from $1.95 to $3.66 and FY13 from $2.65 to $2.75.
