" (7/22/2017)
• 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "We reiterate our Outperform rating on PacWest Bancorp and our $62 price target, equal to 19.4x our 2018 EPS estimate, following 4Q16 results. Higher operating expenses and elevated provision levels triggered a miss this quarter, although both were caused by a strong quarter for loan growth, which should bear fruit over time. PacWest repurchased $28M worth of stock in 4Q, but market volatility following the election may have reduced the appeal of repurchases, which fell short of our expectations. We have reduced our repurchase outlook, but note that PACW still has significant excess capital, which gives it flexibility and options. Profitability remains strong (1.4% ROAA, 12.8% ROTCE, 46% efficiency). A best-in-class NIM, asset- sensitive balance sheet, ample capital, and relatively big dividend are other reasons we remain positive on the name." (1/20/2017)
• 3. FIG Partners analysts commented, "PACW reported 4Q16 EPS at $0.71 which met Street consensus and missed FIG estimate by $0.01. Solid top-line revenues and Core NIM (excluding purchase acct. marks) expanded by 6 basis points. Loan growth was stronger on gross production with less paydowns, with 19% annualized net growth (see Page 2). But, the compa-ny also built loan loss reserves worth $0.05 per share as we share in our 4Q16 fundamental trends in this report." (1/20/2017)
