Avondale Partners analyst Kevin Campbell has raised his price target on shares of Corrections Corp. of America after the prison manager reported first-quarter results that topped consensus estimates. Campbell, who also lifted his 2013 and 2014 estimates for adjusted funds from operations by about 5 percent, now sees CCA (Ticker: CXW) climbing to $44 from its current level of about $38.

Community First's capital gap shrinks some more
Bank holding company Community First Inc. continues to make progress toward the capital levels imposed on it by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in September 2011 even though it posted only a tiny first-quarter comprehensive profit. The parent of Community First Bank & Trust now needs $7 million in capital to meet the FDIC's heightened requirements, which means it may still have put its shareholders through a very dilutive stock offering. But the gap is now $4 million smaller than it was at the end of 2012, which was itself a decent improvement from Q3's $15.3 million.
Another note from the company's quarterly report filed last week: Because Community First has missed six straight dividend payments on the $18 million of preferred stock it sold to the U.S. Treasury four years ago, the feds now have the right to put two representatives on the company's board.
