Bank of America (BAC) is currently viewed positively by various experts, highlighting its strong earnings potential amidst a favorable financial landscape. With last quarter's profit growth of 17%, the bank has seen its best earnings per share (EPS) in nearly two decades, buoyed by a favorable yield curve and improved net interest margins. While still trailing behind JPMorgan (JPM), BAC is recognized for its stability and potential for share buybacks or dividends due to loosening regulations. Although some experts express caution regarding market valuations and suggest there are better opportunities elsewhere, there remains optimism about BAC's resilience and growth trajectory. Waiting for a market pullback before investing is generally advised, but experts see BAC as a solid core holding within the U.S. banking sector.

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Citi, C

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.

BUY

Trying to raise a lot of capital this morning and are selling a lot of assets. Trading at less than 50% of Book Value. If you are a long term value holder and the way you look at financials, you would be attracted to it but there is always the risk in financials right now. He would be willing to take a risk and have a run at this one. You're not paying a lot. Expects a sharp recovery in financials some time over the next year with a 50% plus move.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 1/10. Down 61.1%.)

COMMENT

Sold his holdings a few months ago but is still a believer that over the long term, this bank has to do well if the US economy does well. Treasury is flattening the yield curve, making it difficult for the US banks to make money. There are a lot of risks in the banks but long-term they could do well.

RISKY

Regulators could step in. But he thinks BAC has been doing very well. He will either hit a grand slam or nothing. If company recovers the dividend should shoot up. Doesn’t think they will go bankrupt.

DON'T BUY

Would be very cautious with financials. With this one, you're looking at what the counter party risks out of Europe are, mortgage and real estate risks.

DON'T BUY

He will not be buying any US banks until they start raising their dividends. The dividend is the best signal that a company can give shareholders. Risk is way too high.

TOP PICK

There is an incredible risk here. Possibility of a chapter 11 filing or government regulators deciding to break up the company. Lost about $9 billion in the last quarter. 5 of 6 divisions are making money. Sells for about half book. Has about $700 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Good CEO

WEAK BUY

This is not a short-term hold. Housing, domestic and world economy are a problem. Interest margins are being brought down. There are some headwinds, but long-term, the banks are trading at cheap values.

DON'T BUY

Is cheap, but stock price is telling you it is not that cheap and could get cheaper. With unknowns in Europe and US housing market. This is probably a stock he would avoid.

BUY

This is not for those that can't stomach volatility. Long-term, its franchise has great importance. A significant bank in the US and doesn't feel the government will let it go under. Would approach this one with caution.

DON'T BUY

Not interested in US financials or banks. It would be a gamble or a trade. You won't get Warren Buffet’s terms. Lot of debt on the balance sheet. Not written off all that they need to. No dividend any time soon.
