HOLD
PacWest Bancorp
It hasn't done well. Regional US banking hasn't done well in recent years because of a flattening yield curve which hits all banks. This is slightly changing though as the 10-year yield ticks up a bit and there are hints of inflation coming, given all the government borrowing. The banks have good days ahead. Be patient.
