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

Bank of America (BAC) has demonstrated strong financial performance, reporting a 17% increase in profits and achieving its best earnings per share (EPS) in nearly two decades. Analysts express optimism about the bank's guidance and potential upside, estimating a price target as high as $62.74. Despite facing headwinds from economic concerns, such as private credit worries, experts agree that BAC is well-positioned to benefit from a favorable interest rate environment, especially if the yield curve steepens. The bank's valuation remains attractive, trading at about 11 times earnings, and is regarded as having solid fundamentals and a robust growth trajectory, making it a compelling choice in the financial sector. However, some caution against buying at current levels, suggesting a wait-and-see approach for future investments.

Valuation

Citi,C

TOP PICK

Sell Nov $16 puts and Buy Nov $11 puts. This bank will survive and will probably do all right. In effect he is Short $16 puts and is obligated to Buy shares at $16 between now and November. He has an out at $11. In a worse case scenario, if everything collapses, his risk is limited to $11. You get a $2 credit roughly.

HOLD

Long-term project coming off the 2008 financial system problems. Great franchise owning Merrill Lynch and Countrywide. De-leveraged and cheap at about 1X tangible book. Thinks they have $2.50-$3.00 earnings power. Good Hold, but a long-term hold.

DON'T BUY

As a rule he doesn’t particularly like the US banks. US is not out of trouble. Mortgage problems continue to haunt it. Pickup in their economy is very tepid.

COMMENT

Fundamentals are still rocky but getting better. Historically major US banks have done very well from around the end of January and moving into springtime. Hasn’t seen confirmation of this yet on a technical basis.

DON'T BUY

Hated this one for a long time but now has more competent management. There is still the legacy of prior management. There are better things to buy. He chooses not to own any US banks right now.

BUY

They are one of the banks that hurt their net equity position and is trading at a deep discount to book value (70% of book value). There is a reasonable opportunity for them to recover here. Retail side of business would drive things here. Need improvements in loan losses and we are starting to see that.

BUY

Was extremely negative on US banks for many years but has started to accumulate now. Thinks US economy is going to show more strength than what is expected. Us housing looks like it is getting close to a bottom, which is an important aspect for US banks. If you own you cols start averaging down.

HOLD

Expecting it to be in the mid to high teens by the end of the year, which gives you a decent return.

DON'T BUY

Stays away from the US financials. Sold out of S&P 500 index. It’s pretty tough to get a handle on tangible book. Prefers Royal TD or Scotia.

BUY

Has a model price of $20.10, an upside of 41%. Wouldn’t put his whole portfolio in this but would have selected US financials.

HOLD

C-N has a lot more potential and will move more quickly.

BUY

Really good prospects longer term. Great franchises. Has some headwinds. Very cheap at at about 1X tangible Book Value. Return on assets is low as the leverage has been really squeezed out of the stock. Long term could probably earn $2-$3 a share.

BUY

US banks are looking interesting and in a stringer market will start to look better.

DON'T BUY

Has interesting future. If you own, don’t average down. You’re better off with a Wells Fargo (WFC-N) or CitiGroup (C-N)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 10/09. Down 26%.) Still likes. In the long term the US banking sector is slowly getting better. Steep yield curve in the US is helping them out. Cheap stock Low BV. Feels it is worth $40 to $50 in 5 years.
