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

Citi,C

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.

DON'T BUY

Chart shows a long downward trend with no signs of bottoming. There is no indication that it wants to stop. Seasonally, you normally look at US banks in January for move to March.

BUY

People don't understand so this gets thrown in with everything else and people are concentrating on their mortgage business. In the last quarter, they made $.33 without the write-off and $.74 before that. Have actually grown really well outside of their mortgage business. Cheap.

TOP PICK

When Warren Buffett bought in, the risk element went down. 5 of the 6 divisions are making money but the sub prime one is killing them. Lost about $9 billion in the last quarter with about $8 billion for settling a lawsuit. Targeting it at $38 but you have to realize the possibility of a chapter 11.

RISKY

His most hated bank in the world. It could go to zero; but the government would not allow it. Worst acquisition in the world. Warren Buffet got terms that regular shareholders can’t get. You may get lucky. If you put up with the extreme risk you might make money.
