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

DON'T BUY

Been looking at the sector. Doesn’t own any banks in US. When sovereign debt concerns pass, housing market recovers, this sector will grow.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan of US banks. They’re not producing earnings and this is what stocks trade on.

DON'T BUY

Has had a hate on this one for quite some time. The big mess will take a long time to undo. Most US banks have so many derivatives that no one knows what their true value is.

BUY

Has not seen a lot of momentum in this stock recently. Has tremendous earnings power. Less than 2/3 of book value. Nothing is going to drive it in the short term but if you are long term you could own it.

BUY

Feels US financials relative to Cdn financials are a lot cheaper. Trading at tangible Book Value. Good opportunity for it to do much better. Good assets. Own all the deposits in the US. One of the largest credit card issuers globally.

DON'T BUY

Still too early to buy. You still have to wait at least another year or two to see how the mess plays out. All the big US banks are effectively black boxes and nobody really knows what their assets are or what they are worth. Their earnings are subject to re-statement if they find out if they’ve overvalued these complicated securities, which they still own.

BUY

A wonderful play on the recovery of the market and the economy. They have the ability to generate a tremendous earnings power.

COMMENT

This one is on his watch list. Canadian banks have moved up a tremendous distance and are not interesting. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Has struggled. Increase of dividend was turned down by the fed. They’ll eventually get it. Have a big wealth management area and stock markets are starting to percolate again but are losing on the real estate side.

DON'T BUY

This and CitiGroup (C-N) are the 2 banks that have struggled the most because of all the loan/loss provisions they had to deal with. Took on acquisitions that have not paid off yet.

TOP PICK

Still believes in this company. Canadian banks are trading at the higher end of their multiple range. 43% retail and the rest of investment banking and wealth management. Can make $2 per share, maybe $4. Great franchise.

BUY

It is difficult to know what is going on inside the company. He sold it in the spring of 2008. He would continue to hold it if you held it this long.

TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 10/10, Down 18.17) There is earnings power here of $2.50. Interest margins are on the rise. Expenses are going down. Default rates are starting to drop. Will create excess capital, which he thinks will be used to by shares back. 1.5 times book value, which is low. This one is a buy it and be patient situation. Different companies do the heavy lifting at different times.

RISKY

Put it back on the watch list about 2 months ago. Not as favorable as many of the smaller banks. Prefers C-N, although more risk. If it went under $10 or $12 he would be much more impressed. He is looking elsewhere, however.

DON'T BUY

After a really good lift off the 2009 bottom, US banks generally under performed. Haven’t gone down but have not participated in the rally. Will likely under perform going forward. Could be a short bounce when dividends are declared.
