In a report published Friday, Sterne Agee Group reiterated its Buy rating and $15.00 price target on Old National Bancorp ONB.
Sterne Agee noted, “We view the recent pull-back as excessive with shares ~15% off recent highs (~8.0% for peers) due to skepticism on expense reduction efforts and the accretion-boosted NIM. We continue to believe pressure on the core NIM will be manageable and that expense reductions will offset declining accretion income. We also view ONB's high fee income/revenues (38%), potential for M&A-driven growth, and low ‘fiscal cliff' exposure footprint as advantages in 2013.”
Old National Bancorp closed on Thursday at $11.74.
