Fitch affirms Hancock

Fitch Ratings said it affirmed Hancock Holding Co.'s and its primary banking subsidiaries' long and short-term issuer default ratings at BBB+/F2.

The outlook is stable.

The agency said the rating action reflects HBHC's conservative operating philosophy, continued satisfactory operating performance and improved capital ratios relative to the prior year period when the company completed its acquisition of Whitney Holding Corp.
