Piper Jaffray analyst Brody Preston downgraded Eagle Bancorp to Neutral from Overweight and lowered his price target for the shares to $47 from $63. The company's Q2 results were highlighted by nine basis points of margin compression and elevated legal expenses tied to ongoing investigations by various government agencies, Preston tells investors in a research note. He believes investigations will be a continued overhang on Eagle Bancorp shares.
