Bank of America (BAC) is perceived as a solid and stable player in the banking sector, particularly amidst a climate of deregulation and economic growth. Experts highlight its strong recent earnings, with notable profit increases and favorable guidance, indicating continued potential for growth. Comparatively, BAC is often seen as a close alternative to JPMorgan Chase (JPM), though it falls short of becoming a frontrunner in the sector. The bank's exposure to low-risk sectors, such as credit cards and retail banking, is viewed positively, enhancing its net interest margin prospects. However, some experts note that while BAC might not be the best option currently, it remains a core holding in the U.S. banking framework, with an emphasis on patience and market timing for entry points.

DON'T BUY

Not all that positive on any of the US banks. They all had some exposure to the sub-prime mortgage scandal.

BUY

Likes this bank. Have very little exposure to sub-prime mortgages.

BUY

Trades at 10 X earnings. Has a great franchise in every major state. Have made some very astute acquisitions in the last few years. Has probably been oversold and is a good buying opportunity.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 4/07. Down 6%.) Have raised their dividend every year for over 20 years. Trades at 9.5 X 08 earnings. Strategically well positioned. Cheapest big bank in North America.

HOLD

The financials in the US are doing well, particularly the brokerage stocks. However, we are at the top of the channel but the trend is still up. Would have a mental stop at $50.

BUY

He prefers US banks to Canadian ones. This one is the great model for a US bank. Growing very nicely and trading at a lower valuation. Expect to see a good dividend growth. Would actually prefer some of the investment banks or asset managements.

A dividend growth story that he likes. 4.1% yield. Trades at 11 X earnings, cheaper than any other banks. Under appreciated management.

Model price of $47.06, a negative 8/9% differential. Model price continues to erode.

Trading at a lower multiple then the Canadian banks. With the stronger Cnd$, you don't have a huge currency risk any more. Excellent dividend yield. Growth prospects are good. Credit card business is a good yield.
