Bank of America (BAC) continues to position itself favorably within the banking sector, driven by deregulation and solid performance indicators. Experts have pointed out its impressive profit growth of 17% in the last quarter, indicating strong operational efficiency and guidance for continued upside potential. The bank benefits from improving net interest margins, a strengthening economy, and a favorable yield curve, despite facing some concerns regarding private debt and market fluctuations. With analysts projecting valuations that suggest potential upside, it remains a recommended buy on dips, particularly due to its diverse business model and robust consumer banking performance.

Valuation

Citi, C

DON'T BUY

The problem for this bank will be that as the crisis evolves in the US will there be further write downs because of a shift into commercial real estate and the credit card side of things?

BUY

One of the banks that had the biggest problem with its balance sheets with the biggest decline and subsequent return. Had the stress test and the number was disappointing but not unexpected. Have a great deposit base and going forward can earn their way out of the current issues. Good buy looking ahead a couple of years forward.

WATCH

There has been a big recovery in the US bank stocks. There are still some risks. There are rumours that they have failed the Stress Test. They also have to raise some capital to survive the environment.

DON'T BUY

Unless you are a speculative investor, you would not invest in any US banks just yet.

DON'T BUY

To buy one of the major banks at this point seems very risky. Very little visibility.

TRADE

Stock is not very far from its low. Thinks there will be a turnaround in this stock.

WAIT

This is the tail of the S&P. Has along way to go to get above the 200. Key think is volume – it has not been there.

DON'T BUY

Likes this one longer-term and thinks it will make it through this but there are better plays out there. Would prefer Morgan Stanley (MS-N) or J.P. Morgan (JPM-N).

BUY

Still have challenges on the loan book and still a lot of consumer exposure on the mortgage side and consumer auto loans. There will be continued write-downs going forward. Have the ability to grow themselves out of these problems. For a long time horizon of 5 or 10 years it could make sense.

DON'T BUY

Chief executive, Ken Lewis has been a destroyer of value of this bank for years. Terrible collection of acquisitions over the years.

TOP PICK

Think they will benefit from the Merrill Lynch take out. Buy the stock at $7.50 and Sell Aug $8 Call at $2.10. Gives you a 50% return if this is called away in August.

SELL

Have fewer problems than CitiGroup (C-N). If you own and have some profits it would be wise to take some out. You have to watch and make sure that all the bad news is out on their investment portfolios.

DON'T BUY

On a 5-year hold, if the global economy was better, this could turn out to be better also. Probably true, but not for sure because of the possibility that it is so badly damaged they may under perform the market. Would wait to see if things got a little brighter.

DON'T BUY

Absolutely no visibility in their business. Nobody knows what is behind the balance sheet at this point. There is huge risk in this one.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't think the banks are out of the woods yet. This one is not in as dire a position as CitiGroup (C-N) was in but there are challenges. If she were playing in the US financial space, she would tend to go with a JP Morgan (JPM-N) but it is still too early.
