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.

Valuation

Undervalued

Citi,C

SELL

Financials in the US have done a pretty decent job. Right at the 50 day moving average level. Everything is coalescing right around the current level. If it goes down to $8.60 or below, you’re probably going to see $7.20-$7.50. If you own and you made good money, take your money and run.

COMMENT

Purchase a Jan/14 Call with a $10 strike price? He prefers buying the common. The problem with the options is that you are so much at the mercy of timing. You don't know what could happen next January that could set the bank back temporarily.

DON'T BUY

Long options: You can lose 100% of your money if you do this so use a very small portion of your money. B of A has issued a lot of stock at the bottom so it has a long way to go. There is easier money to be made.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He likes the US banks, but the charts are all way up so they have discounted a lot of the good news already. Wait for a market pull back of 7-10% and then buy it. Prefers Canadian banks for the dividend tax credit.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 24/11, Down 26.48%) Thinks US banking is the place to be. .7 times tangible book. A great opportunity to own the stock.

SELL

He is warmer to the American banks and so there is more growth potential as they turn around. BAC is not one of his favorites. He prefers regional banks. Not a big fan of brokerage or management at BAC. Likes BB&T

DON'T BUY

A poor cousin of JPM. Had more difficulties through ’08 because of acquisitions that management made, such as Countrywide. Fed wants them to wait until later in the year before raising dividend.

WATCH

If they earn what they say then there is big, big upside, but you have to see them raise the dividend.

DON'T BUY

Roaring this year, but below a year ago. Have 8 Billion in costs to cut in a year. Next to no dividend. IF you want these, get a basket of them, but there are better things you could be holding.

TOP PICK

Almost a bipolar stock in that one quarter they lost $9 billion and in another made about $5 billion. Recently did a subprime settlement which is going to cost them $11 billion but have already put this aside in their reserves. Their acquisitions of Merrill Lynch and Countrywide could prove good for the company. Good management. Legal fees have been astronomical.

DON'T BUY

It is certainly cheap but what is their earnings power and prospects of stock price being lifted. This is a kind of trade he tends not to get too involved in. Doesn’t think Greece has any bearing except as a psychological factor. Would stay on the sidelines with most of the banks.

DON'T BUY

Not a favourite of his at all. You are taking on a degree of risk that is more akin to trading a stock as opposed to investing.

COMMENT

Thinks Wells Fargo (WFC-N) is a better proxy to this bank as easy as the mortgage book is all right. Thinks Bank of America does have more legs.

DON'T BUY

He won't touch any US financial until they start raising the dividend. A company that raises the dividend is giving the best insider signal on events going forward.

SELL

Sold into tax year-end and bought again. Fundamentals have not changed that much. Sold it a few months ago around this level. Sold because there are so many forces working against it.
