This summary was created by AI, based on 25 opinions in the last 12 months.

Bank of America (BAC) has seen strong performance recently, reporting a significant 17% increase in profits, marking its best earnings per share (EPS) in nearly two decades. Experts express optimism around BAC's potential for growth with expectations of continued net interest income increases driven by favorable economic conditions, including deregulation and a steep yield curve. Several analysts believe BAC is underappreciated, trading at a discount compared to competitors like JPMorgan, and exhibiting a favorable valuation. Concerns do exist about the broader banking sector's performance, particularly with the impact of interest rates and an evolving economy, but BAC remains a favored choice among analysts for investors looking for a stable banking franchise with good recovery potential after taking a slight hit in recent trading sessions.

COMMENT

Seasonality of big US banks is strong from January until April of each year. This bank had a huge write off in the 2nd quarter of last year. They’re reporting their 2nd quarter results this week for 2013. Look for some good news. Chart shows a nice base forming.

TOP PICK

This one could be in a major turnaround. The longer they go without major negative announcements, the better it bodes. Have been selling off some of their assets and dealing with their lawsuits. Can see the stock going over $30. On their capitalization ratios, one is at record high levels and they're getting their house in order.

COMMENT

Jan/14 $10 Strike Price Call Options. Good idea? Doesn’t think this would be a bad trade.

TOP PICK

Has bought and sold this one several times. This is one of the companies that is slowly being restructured by management to cut costs but it is really a play on the US mortgage and housing market. If there is stabilization on housing, the stock will go up quite substantially. European assets are very limited.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't understand what goes on inside of US banks so he would avoid them.

DON'T BUY

If you want to be in the banks, you're better off being in the better managed ones.

WEAK BUY

There is a conflict in the banking thesis. There is relatively low loan growth so you could see an increase of capital on balance sheets and could fund increases in dividends, but we are facing global financial issues. NA banks are well capitalized and somewhat insulated. He has a small weight in banks and it has not worked out but there is dividend support. He would own some, but not a big position.

COMMENT

Some of the headwinds that are in front of the US multinational banks are increased government regulations and scrutiny on similarity to what they did in 2008. This bank is highly involved in the US real estate and mortgage business, which needs to improve. Longer term this is okay, but there are still a lot of bumps along the way.

TOP PICK

Likes this stock a lot now. Risk has been reduced now. Could easily do a quadruple. Likes what the CEO has done. It is his big play in the banking sector and he is happy to have it. Thinks dividend will be 5 cents in a couple of years.

TOP PICK

Trades at .4X Book Value, which is around $20. Management is doing a very good job. Cutting costs. Making the bank smaller. Have very good core businesses. Loan losses have been going down each quarter for the last 4 or 5 quarters.

DON'T BUY

The thing about the “deposit based” banks is that they have a lot of things going against them. Yield curve is flat. Federal Reserve has done quantitative easing that forced the long and of the curve down, which took a major source of income away from the banks. Still trying to climb out of the housing troubles.

DON'T BUY

You should look at how well a bank did in 2007/8. How strong is their ability to correctly price loans. This is a pretty challenged organization. As soon as you get above 1 trillion US in assets, they’ve pretty much cross sold every product they could hope to sell in every market in which they could hope to be successful and so they move up the risk curve.

SELL

In a diversified portfolio, he would probably have of most of his bank weighting in Canada. US banks are a completely different animal. Wave suffered on the back of the housing problems. Slowly working their way out of it. A flat yield curve where long rates are about the same as short rates, more or less engineered by the Federal Reserve, takes away a very, very big revenue and earnings component of the banks.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 24/11, Down 33.56%)

TOP PICK

A still have legal and litigation problems. Every quarter is going to be different. Some quarters make a lot of money and some lose a lot of money. Management wants to increase the dividends. He can see it as an over $30 stock but they are still not completely out of the woods.
