Recommendations	SunTrust raises price targets across regional/community banks » 09:34 06/30/20 06/30 09:34 06/30/20 09:34 EWBC East West Bancorp $35.26 / +1.45 (+4.29%) , IBTX Independent Bank $38.91 / +1.52 (+4.07%) , SIVB SVB Financial $207.23 / +3.38 (+1.66%) , WAL Western Alliance $36.67 / +0.675 (+1.88%) , ZION Zions Bancorp $33.05 / +0.77 (+2.39%) SunTrust analyst Jennifer… SunTrust analyst Jennifer Demba adjusted her price targets across the Regional and Community Bank space, noting the industry offers an attractive risk/reward opportunity over the next year as the economy slowly recovers. While loan losses should be "much higher" in 2020-2021, they should also be "manageable" and capital levels remain strong for the industry, the analyst believes. Among the names with the higher price target changes, Demba raises the target on East West Bancorp (EWBC) to $40 from $32, Independent Bank Group (IBTX) to $43 from $35, SVB Financial Group (SIVB) to $260 from $220, Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL) to $41 from $36, and Zions Bancorporation (ZION) to $50 from $39.

Downgrade	Western Alliance downgraded to Equal Weight from Overweight at Wells Fargo » 06:33 06/02/20 06/02 06:33 06/02/20 06:33 WAL Western Alliance $38.17 / +0.05 (+0.13%) Wells Fargo analyst Timur… Wells Fargo analyst Timur Braziler downgraded Western Alliance to Equal Weight from Overweight with a $34 price target. Braziler says the perception of greater credit risk surrounding the national portfolio could prove especially challenging for Western Alliance in the next 12-months, as any realization of losses could further fuel this sentiment and negatively weigh on the current 43% TBV premium. The analyst expects shares to underperform in an environment of credit uncertainty and thinks Western Alliance could be one of the last banks to see sentiment improve.

Downgrade	Western Alliance downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS » 06:13 04/22/20 04/22 06:13 04/22/20 06:13 WAL Western Alliance $30.95 / -1.1 (-3.43%) UBS analyst Brock… UBS analyst Brock Vandelvliet downgraded Western Alliance to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $31, down from $38.50, and also cut his FY20 EPS view to $3.18 from $4.09 and FY21 to $4.26 from $4.78. The analyst is citing mounting credit concerns and a slower expected balance sheet growth in the second half of the year. Vandelvliet adds that Western Alliance has a relatively larger exposure to hotel and casino lending, with respective loans of $1.9B and $500M - segments that experienced especially severe damage from COVID-19.

The analyst says the company again demonstrated its ability to generate strong ongoing balance sheet growth and drive net interest income in spite of the net interest margin compression, all while maintaining its strong asset quality. Tenner adds that Western Alliance's strong earnings power is supportive of the company's ability to weather the Covid-19 related credit challenges.

Hot Stocks	Western Alliance pauses share repurchases for remainder of Q2 » 16:28 04/16/20 04/16 16:28 04/16/20 16:28 WAL Western Alliance $27.95 / -1.79 (-6.02%) In response to the… In response to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the company focused first on the well-being of its people, customers and communities. Preventative health measures were put in place including elimination of business related travel requirements, mandatory work from home for all employees able to do so, social distancing precautions for all employees in the office and customers visiting branches, and preventative cleaning at offices and branches. The company also focused on business continuity measures, including forming a COVID-19 task force, monitoring potential business interruptions, making improvements to our remote working technology, and conducting regular discussions with our technology vendors. The company has also taken measures to both support customers affected by the pandemic and to maintain strong asset quality, including: helping business customers through the Paycheck Protection Program and other loan products; implementing a broad-based risk management strategy to manage credit segments on a real-time basis; tightened underwriting standards; monitoring portfolio risk and related mitigation strategies by segments; placing limits on originations to higher risk industries and customers including, but not limited, to transportation, travel, hospitality, entertainment, and retail; contacting customers in order to assess credit situations and needs and develop long-term contingency financial plans; and offering flexible repayment options to current customers and a streamlined loan modification process, when appropriate. The economic environment and uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the $51.2 million provision for credit losses recognized during the quarter under the CECL accounting standard adopted by the Company on January 1, 2020. Continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the pandemic and related economic effects will continue to affect the accounting for credit losses under the new standard. As a result of the economic uncertainty, the company will pause its stock repurchase program for the remainder of the second quarter. While the company does not anticipate any need for additional liquidity, it may take advantage of federal facilities in the future in connection with funding loans to small and medium-sized businesses. The company's capital ratios remained strong as of March 31, 2020, with a tangible common equity to total assets ratio of 9.4%.
