Overweight -> Equal Weight

Reason

Stephens downgraded Cathay General to Equal Weight from Overweight with an unchanged price target of $50. With Cathay raising its net interest margin guidance in April and NIM expansion having slowed materially such that NIM guidance was reiterated this quarter, the firm believes its prior upgrade rationale predicated on less-appreciated fixed asset repricing potential catalysts have \"mostly played out,\" the analyst tells investors.

Reason

Jefferies analyst David Chiaverini initiated coverage of Cathay General with a Buy rating and $53 price target. The firm initiating coverage of 32 regional and mid-cap banks with a "constructive outlook." Despite tariff uncertainty, several factors could positively impact banks, including a rebound in loan growth as the U.S. avoids a recession, net interest margin expansion with a steeper yield curve, "resilient" credit metrics, excess capital "to play offense or defense," and attractive valuations, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies' top regional bank top picks are Huntington Bancshares (HBAN), M&T Bank (MTB) and Fifth Third (FITB). The firm's mid-cap top picks are Flagstar Financial (FLG), Axos Financial (AX) and Western Alliance (WAL).
