Keefe Bruyette analyst Catherine Mealor views yesterday's post-earnings pullback in shares of Eagle Bancorp as overdone. The analyst lowered her price target for the stock to $65 from $70 and keeps an Outperform rating on the name. While the quarter was in-line, the 168% deposit beta is what drove the stock, Mealor tells investors in a research note. The analyst points out that even with the beta, net interest margin "held the line" at 4.15%, only down two basis points.
