Bank of America (BAC) continues to position itself favorably within the banking sector, driven by deregulation and solid performance indicators. Experts have pointed out its impressive profit growth of 17% in the last quarter, indicating strong operational efficiency and guidance for continued upside potential. The bank benefits from improving net interest margins, a strengthening economy, and a favorable yield curve, despite facing some concerns regarding private debt and market fluctuations. With analysts projecting valuations that suggest potential upside, it remains a recommended buy on dips, particularly due to its diverse business model and robust consumer banking performance.

Valuation

Fair Value

Citi, C

BUY

They reported yesterday, a beautiful quarter. Revenue was much higher than expected, 12% YOY, while overall expenses were roughly flat, meaning 58% earnings growth. Their deposit base rose 15% YOY, driven by their online banking platform. BAC is the most levered of US banks to interest rates which are expected to climb. He targets $50.

BUY

They report Thursday. BAC could have an earnings breakout, because long-term interest rates will rise.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 14/20, Up 71%) He'd continue to hold, and he'd buy it here. Banks will continue to do well over the next little while. Reserves are coming back into earnings. Dividend increases and share buybacks are coming. Steepening yield curves will allow the banks to stabilize net interest income. Good prospects in a growing economy.

BUY

Trades cheaply to the best-in-class in banks. Likes their capital return program, while their M&A and sales businesses are humming alone. Better than JPM.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 08/20, Up 78%) He was stunned when US banks lagged in 2020 as the FAANGs rose. So the banks offered better valued and still do. Governments around the world won't let their banks crash again (as in 2008). Banks have been building balance sheets and avoiding very risky areas. Finally, the market has accepted the banks. Interest rates and the yield curve will stabilize.

COMMENT

They reported a big earnings beat driven by a huge reserve release. Sales disappointed though. Its most important business, consumer & business lending missed too, as did the global markets division. BAC is the most sensitive to interest rates, so the collapse in bond yields makes it difficult for them. This is one to buy, if you believe the Fed will raise interest rates.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 30/20, Up 52.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with BAC has triggered its stop at $38. We recommend covering the balance of the position. This will result in a net investment return of 48%, including the 50% previously recommended to cover.

BUY

BAC reported today and the markets are reacting negatively because loan growth was not as expected. The reason for this is because the economy is starting to do well and there's a ton of liquidity out there. There's not a lot of reason right now to go to banks for loans. Once people spend what they have, they'll have the confidence to go to the bank for a loan. This is a good opportunity to buy with both hands. Leveraged to a steepening yield curve.

BUY

They report next week. If you believe the economy gets stronger and rates will rise rapidly, buy this.

BUY

Biggest interest rate sensitivity among the US banks. The bond yields moving higher has benefitted BAC to outperform. This and JP Morgan are his core US Bank holdings.

TOP PICK

Will benefit from very well from rising interest rates, but a lower rate will likely add more loan growth. They also boast strong investment and capital markets businesses. (Analysts’ price target is $43.04)

BUY

US financials are in a great position. Benefit from interest rates going higher. Will do well in capital markets and banking. US 10-year is back below 1.5%, and US banks have barely budged, so this signals a good time to buy. Still reasonably priced. Go long.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 30/20, Up 68.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with BAC continues to do well. We are now recommending to trail up the stop (from $30) to $38. If triggered, this would all but guarantee an investment return of 48% when considering the recommendation to cover 50% previously.

TOP PICK

The yield curve is steepening which will help revenues. They have held reserves very well, and these are coming off and going to the bottom line now. The Fed after June will allow banks for buyback shares and increase their dividends, too. Also, BAC has lowered their costs and using technology more efficiently. The U.S. banks are seeing growth. Wealth management business is also increasing. It pays a reasonable dividend that's rising and it trades at only 13x PE. (Analysts’ price target is $38.63)

BUY

Financial services are poised to do well as rates push up net interest margins. Global markets, consumer banking, and wealth management. Well positioned with loan loss provision reversals.
