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.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Undervalued

Similar

Citi,C

BUY

Averaging down at this price is a very reasonable proposition, particularly if you have a 3 to 5 year view. Dividend yield is outstanding, well above a 10-year treasury bond.

PARTIAL BUY

A speculative buy. They are doing a lot of the backstopping of the SIV’s that are going on right now with Citigroup. Quality of the company is very good but there will be a lot of volatility in the short run. Dividend yield is 5.63%. Start an accumulation and if things turn out well than you can increase.

COMMENT

Still a lot of mystery on the books and he would not be buying into mystery. The market knows what some of a subprime mess is but doesn't know what some of the derivative exposure is, et cetera. If you own, he would trade around the position during a rally. There will be a lot of volatility in the sector.

BUY

Trades at a crazy 1.4X Book Value. A fantastic global bank. Technicals indicate that if it breaks $42, it will probably go down to $40 but probably no further.

DON'T BUY

Banks in general have been too conservative in writing down their asset backed commercial paper, SIV and sub prime loans. This bank is in the same boat as the others. They made one big mistake by throwing out a lifeline to Countrywide Financial (CFC-N) at about $16 - $17 in the stock is at about $9 and could go lower.

SELL

Wouldn't own any US banks right now.

TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick Nov of22/06. Down 70%.) This is a great buying opportunity in the US financials. When things bottom out, he will be adding to his position. Expects to be buying in the next couple of weeks. Trades at 9X earnings. 5.7% dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

Feels there is value elsewhere. This one hasn't come down enough for him. $36 would be of interest to him. His model prices $56.70, an 18% positive differential.

BUY

The risk is that the sub-prime risk isn't over, and there may be bigger exposures still to come. But with BAC the risk isn't huge. They will be getting all the problems (skeletons out of the closet) out right away. It will be a higher price a year from now.

BUY

These companies are hard to replicate in the Canadian market. Thinks it's interesting. Colgate Palmolive also. With the Canadian dollar high it's a chance to get into world class companies.

DON'T BUY

Wouldn't touch any US bank with a 10-foot pole.

HOLD

Long-term outlook is excellent, probably better than the short-term outlook. Right now it is caught in the vortex of what is going on in the US financial system with questions revolving around subprime debts and the ability of banks to finance their hold

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 22/06. Down 7%.) Largest domestic bank in the US market. Cheapest big bank in North America. The dividend. Trading at 9X 08 earnings.

BUY

4.5% yield. Thinks the sub prime concerns are overdone for most of the big financials in the US.

DON'T BUY

Would not be an owner of most US large cap banks because of valuations and exposure to sub-prime mortgages. Rising interest rate environment is also negative for banks.
