Jefferies lifted estimates and its price target on Buy-rated Signature Bank (NASDAQ: SBNY) from $95 to $97 following solid Q4 results.

Analyst Casey Haire comments, "We raise our 2014 estimate $0.25 to $5.10 following another strong beat. Key delta is a stable NIM outlook, which is a meaningful EPS driver for SBNY as its robust balance sheet growth no longer has to fight through NIM compression. SBNY may lag peers in terms of asset sensitivity, but few banks can match its organic EPS growth trajectory without help from rising short rates or M&A, which warrants a premium multiple, in our view."

The firm raised Q3 EPS from $1.14 to $1.19, FY 2013 EPS from $4.45 to $4.59 and FY 2014 EPS from $4.85 to $5.10.
