FCBC
with a price target raised to $16 a share. Keefe Bruyette & Woods notes, "On June 8, FCBC announced the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw Bank, adding $513MM of assets, $330MM of covered loans, and $428MM of deposits in eastern NC. Given the $15M discount bid (3% of assets), we assume no BPO, but a short TBV earn back in under two years. Raising 2012E and 2013E EPS to $1.25 and $1.40, price target to $16 and rating to OP. See PDF for model." FCBC closed at $12.84 on Monday.
