barrons2	Buy - Price 27.47 on May 27 by Sandler O'Neill We're establishing an '08 operating earnings estimate of $2.98 a share and $3.80 a share for '09, versus consensus $3.07 and $3.74...respectively. We don't believe the net-investment-income shortfall [seen] in 1Q08 -- due to underperformance of limited-investment partnerships -- is likely to repeat. And the shares look inexpensive. Our Buy rating is principally a valuation call; DFG's trading at 9.2 times our '08 earnings estimate of $2.98, compared with their five-year average multiple of 12.1 times. Target: 34.
