Monday, May 13, 3:48 PM With consumer loan growth slow and margins slim, the conventional wisdom says C&I loans (and with them better spreads) at banks should be enough to offset. Sterne Agree isn't so sure, sensing accelerating price competition in this area as well. Most susceptible: CMA, SNV, ZION, SIVB, and CYN - with an estimated 9-16% of EPS risk assuming another 50 bps of spread compression. 2 Comments [Financials]
Friday, May 10, 11:28 AM Loan growth at midcap banks (KRE) should rebound in Q2, says Credit Suisse after digging through management commentary from MTB, ZION, BBT, CMA, FITB, and HBAN. Notably not sharing the positive vibe were First Horizon (FHN) and KeyCorp (KEY). Growth is nice, but what about pricing? Fulton Financial (FULT) and Key say it remains competitive, while Zions says margins are getting even tighter. Comment! [Financials]

Tuesday, April 9, 6:43 PM A Goldman Sachs note helps explain some of the recent weakness in big bank stocks and adds a warning signal: Banks that gain more than 10% in Q1 usually give back nearly all those profits in Q2 when future earnings estimates begin falling. Goldman's top concern heading into Q1 earnings is that "lackluster fundamentals could lead to a negative EPS revision cycle (which has been the trend the past few years)." 5 Comments [Financials, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, March 12, 11:57 AM Regions Financial (RF), SunTrust (STI), and Zions Bancorp (ZION) are likely to see the biggest dividend boosts among the regional players, says Credit Suisse. Buybacks would be best at the "cheap" banks as they would get the biggest boost to book value - Regions (again), KeyCorp (KEY), and Comerica (CMA) this year, and Fifth Third (FITB) and Huntington (HBAN) in 2014. 1 Comment [Financials]

Friday, December 7, 2012, 4:03 PM Shares of CombiMatrix Corporation (CBMX) soar today, finishing up over 334% after the New England Journal of Medicine published two studies concluding chromonosomal microarray analysis (CMA) is superior to standard karyotyping for identifying prenatal genetic abnormalities. CBMX currently is the only publicly traded firm offering CMA diagnostics. One caveat, despite today's big run - the shares still are down over 55% from its $20 peak at the beginning of the year.

Friday, November 16, 2012, 11:17 AM It's dividends investors want more than buybacks and Regions Financial (RF), SunTrust (STI), and Zions (ZION) (among the regionals) are likely to have the largest hikes next year, says Credit Suisse. For buybacks, the cheaper the valuation the better, and KeyCorp (KEY) and Comerica (CMA) would benefit most. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
