Evercore ISI Starts Wells Fargo (WFC) at Hold

Evercore ISI initiates coverage on Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) with a Hold rating and a price target of $57.00.

Analyst John Pancari comments, "A diversified business base and core-funded B/S should continue to support Wells Fargo’s above-peer returns (‘15E ROTCE 15%; peers 11%). However, a more cautious NIM and loan growth outlook supports our below-cons EPS view (2016 4% below cons). Given this outlook and WFC’s premium valuation (particularly post 21% price appreciation in ‘14), we look for a more attractive entry point."
