Banc of California (BANC) will ultimately end up in the hands of someone else, just not today, Piper Jaffray analyst Matthew Clark tells investors in a research note. The analyst does not believe the hiring of Jared Wolff, with an M&A background at PacWest Bancorp (PACW), as CEO, and the involvement of long-time bank investor Rich Lashley on the board is coincidental. Clark says the "unexpected decision" by CEO Doug Bowers to resign and not see his three-year plan come to fruition reinforces his view. He likes the risk/reward on Banc of California shares and keeps an Overweight rating on the name with a $20 price target.
