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]
Monday, April 22, 4:51 PM More on Zions Bancorp (ZION) Q1 earnings: Net interest income declined to $418M from $430M in Q4 - net interest margin fell to 3.44% from 3.47%. Noninterest income rose to $121.1M from $54.2M thanks to a lower impairment on CDO securities than taken last quarter. Pleased by "somewhat better loan growth," management sees "renewed signs" of loan pricing pressure. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Earnings]

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]
