Jefferies initiates coverage on Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) with a Buy. PT $39.00.

The firm comments, "Wells delivers above-average ROEs on a strong capital base, and has growth potential even at $1.3 trillion of assets. As for other banks, net interest margin pressure and tough comps in mortgage banking put us modestly below consensus for '13 ($3.55 vs. $3.64). While WFC has closed some of the valuation gap to regional peers, we see upside potential with downside protection."
