Bank of America (BAC) is currently viewed positively by various experts, highlighting its strong earnings potential amidst a favorable financial landscape. With last quarter's profit growth of 17%, the bank has seen its best earnings per share (EPS) in nearly two decades, buoyed by a favorable yield curve and improved net interest margins. While still trailing behind JPMorgan (JPM), BAC is recognized for its stability and potential for share buybacks or dividends due to loosening regulations. Although some experts express caution regarding market valuations and suggest there are better opportunities elsewhere, there remains optimism about BAC's resilience and growth trajectory. Waiting for a market pullback before investing is generally advised, but experts see BAC as a solid core holding within the U.S. banking sector.

Citi, C

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.

TOP PICK

4.5% dividend. Good buying opportunity.

BUY

Quite a bit of value in this company right now. About 4.5% dividend yield. Trading at about 10 X earnings making it very cheap. Has a flat yield curve, which is a short-term phenomena.

TOP PICK

Well diversified. Has about 9% of the retail deposits in North America. Dividend yield of 4.5% and he is expecting an increase later this year. Trading at around 9 X forward earnings. Very little exposure to sub prime loans.

DON'T BUY

Not a big fan over most of the American Banks. Better valuations in other banks outside of North America. In Canada he prefers Bank of Montreal or National.

DON'T BUY

Too expensive, but cheaper than Canadian banks.

DON'T BUY

Not one of the stronger groups in the market, due to the quality of credit in the US. If going to the US market would rather go toward more of a global growth stock then the domestically owned names.

BUY

If you take currency into consideration, this is not a bad entry point. On a multiple basis, senior US stocks are now cheaper than Canadian.

SELL

May be a problem on mortgages. It looks like the easy money for US banks has been made. He recently sold his banks.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 22/06. Down 6.2%.) Steady Eddy type of company. Has a lot of respect for management. Cheapest large-cap North American bank trading at 10 X 07 earnings and 9 X 08 earnings. 4.5% dividend.

BUY

Trading at a significant discount to Canadian banks. 4.4% dividend yield.

BUY

US banks had a hard time because of the sub prime mortgage situation. Chart shows a double bottom in March with a higher high. Technically it says the downturn is over for a while. You could enter now for a short-term trade.
