** Raymond James cites the bank's recent intra-quarter update and commentary at a recent investor conference

** However, the brokerage maintains an "outperform" rating on the stock, citing share repurchase resumptions and attractive valuation

** " As the averages for loans and deposits catch up to the nice point-to-point growth. I think we're going to see some really positive tailwinds as we go through time for net interest income," said CMA's CFO James Herzog at RBC Capital Market's conference last month

** Brokerage adds that any news of an acquisition in the industry is set to be beneficial to CMA's stock given an "improved outlook for bank consolidation"
