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

Similar

Citi, C

HOLD

A major money center bank in the US. He bought in early in the cycle and sold out in March when the Fed Reserve went to a loosening strategy. He saw that as a threat due to the risk to the interest rate curve. Now that the curve is steepening again, he sees this as a good hold now.

BUY

He believes the target price is achievable but not in 12 months. Reconstruction over recent years is starting to pay off. He would consider this if you wanted a US bank but he prefers Canadian banks. (Analysts’ price target is $37.00)

DON'T BUY

Take profits? He's short the US banks and owns them. He expects interest rates to head down. Loan growth is anemic. What's great here? Either a stronger economy or interest rate hikes would excite him. BAC is more levered than its peers. Its valuation is full.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 13/18, Up 23%) At the start of 2019, the Fed seemed accommodating. But now they're on hold, and this has been a real booster for the banks because they make money off the spread. He sold on the belief that he didn't want to be overly levered to a shallower yield curve.

WEAK BUY

BAC vs. WFC A lot of banks have started to perform. Doesn't own either of these. Both have same price to book. WFC has a slightly higher dividend yield of 3.8%, whereas BAC is 2.2%. The fraudulent accounts scandal is still hurting the WFC brand. WFC revenue relies heavily on the yield curve. He prefers BAC, as they're a little more diversified with their capital markets division.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 06/18, Up 20%) He is still bullish on financials. When the yield curve normalizes all the banks will make a lot of money. They are doing well going into the headwinds currently. He likes the technical price breakout now too.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 13/19, Up 16%) Trades at 1.2x book vs. 1.5 by Canadian banks. Investors were fearing the inverted yield curve which scared them off US banks stock. BAC continues to decrease its costs and buyback shares. A great story.

COMMENT

He would buy Bank of America. The stock is still very cheap, price to book value. It has a decent growth rate. This is the one to be buying in this kind of climate.

DON'T BUY

It's cheap vs. upside potential, though pricey vs. its past. He hopes it returns to $36.50, but negative interest rates aren't good.

BUY

A terrific business. US banks are well-capitalized. BAC is doing well introducing their business into new markets, though don't expect them to do big acquisitions. BAC is using tech aggressively to cut costs and in turn reinvest those savings. Low and declining interest rates are a neutral to modest negative factor.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 02/18, Up 9%) BAC is holding on as banks around the world are struggling. The most capitalized bank in America. It's been in a trading range the past year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The U.S. banks have had a big rally with the Fed's cutting interest rates. They are a bit pricy right now. They've been buying back shares and they have had little growth.

DON'T BUY

C-N would be much cheaper. It is much more internationally focused. BAC-N is much more domestic focused. The flat yield curve and negative yields is not good for either of them. It is a tough sector to invest in.

WAIT

There is a lot of reasons why they should win relative to their peers -- wealth management and potential into Europe. The problem is interest rates are not cooperating. They have large free balances on savings and trading deposits, making them very sensitive to rate declines. He would wait for a time when there is more clarity on the direction of these rates.

COMMENT

Time to add on? A big and steady US bank -- you can expect continued performance from them. They will work their way through the flat interest rate environment. This is not an expensive stock, pays a good dividend, and has a good ROC. Yield 2.5%
