Flagstar Bancorp (NYSE:FBC) was upgraded to Outperform from Marlet Perform at FBR Capital. The firm set its target price at $2, following a reassessment of the company's burn-down book value. Given that the company is a step closer to profitability this quarter, the firm believes that the current valuation offers a buying opportunity for the appropriate investor.

The firm set its target price at $76.

The firm set its target price at $93, as it noted that with the stock trading slightly above book value of $67, trading at over a 16% discount to the group on a P/E basis for 2011, over a 9% discount to the group on a P/E basis for 2012, and anticipated increasing earnings going forward, it believes the current stock price should be an excellent entry point for investors and believes it has a tremendous upside at present levels.

The firm set its target price at $44 based on an increasingly attractive risk-return proposition.

The firm says as the company enters the all-critical summer season, it is either able to right the challenges in its core North American amphitheater business or not. It believes that at this stage, while all of the industry's structural issues have not been waved away, that the company is seeing progress on this front and that its above consensus EBITDA estimate for this year is very achievable.
