Jefferies boosted estimates and its price target on SunTrust Banks (NYSE: STI) from $34 to $36 Monday following Q2 results last week. The firm said EPS of $3 is "doable."
Analyst Ken Usdin comments, "We increase our '13 estimate by $0.10 to $2.75 and our '14 estimate by $0.15 to $3.00. Faster-than-expected improvement in mortgage and home equity credit and a better run-rate for non-environmental expenses are the main reasons for our revisions. Better EPS visibility should allow STI to trade at a lesser discount to the group over time, but we still believe revenue needs to improve for the stock to break out."
Despite the positive commentary, the firm maintained a Hold rating on the shares.
