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.

Valuation

Fair Value

Citi, C

BUY

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.

BUY

Has been disappointed in the stock's performance. People are concerned about the American mortgage market and whether there will be substantial defaults. They made a huge acquisition in the credit card business which is a good business. Trades at a discount to the other big banks.

BUY

Have executed pretty well. Managed to buy the biggest bank in California. Big exposure to US mortgages which has to be a slight concern. Are more disciplined on their loan weighting than other banks. Pays 4.3%.

BUY

Having a Canadian bank in your portfolio is important as they have the ability to increase dividends and grow at a steady pace. However, this is a good price and likes the story on it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Good management and has a very good dividend yield. What bothers him is that they seem determined to acquire other companies, but they are pretty good at it.

DON'T BUY

Trades at 10 X earnings with a yield of 4.5%. The US banks in general have not been doing well as short range interest rates have been moving up. This is probably one of the best US banks. If there is a housing melt down, they would be hurt. Would buy Canadian or English banks instead.

DON'T BUY

Financials are having a difficult time. The big US banks are way underperfoming the market. There are better places to put your money.

DON'T BUY

You should own US stocks when the Canadian $ is weakening, not gaining strength. However, there is still risk of the US$ going up. Prefers to invest in the US financials through toronto Dominion (TD-T) and its US subsiduary.

BUY

Dirt cheap. Has a model price of $54.06, a 25% differential. Dividend yield of 4.6%.

DON'T BUY

The same as Citigroup. The banks are having a tough time.

BUY

The outlook is high single digit earnings growth over the cycle with nice dividends. Has been impacted because of the integration of their credit card acquisition and people are worried about it. Approaching 5% yield which is very attractive. This is his 1st choice with Citigroup (C-N) being his second.

BUY

Had come up with what he thought was pretty good earnings and then they announced they were buying NBNA, one of the very large issuer of credit cards. That soaked up a lot of the liquidity from their balance sheet. It concerned the market and the stock dropped. Not too concerned about it.

BUY

Has beeen a great bank. Did a lot of acquisitions and have been able to integrate them very well. Has one of the best franchises in the US. Relatively cheap. One problem is that they are not strong in investment banking and sometime will have to make a large acquisition.

TOP PICK

Stock has dropped a bit because of the acquisition of NBNA they made as well as their recent numbers. Over 4% yield. Only 10.5 X next year's earnings which is cheaper than any Canadian bank right now.

BUY

One of the better run banks in the US. Have just taken over MBNA which is one of the largest credit card issuers in North America. This is a growth area which is what banks are looking for. A very logical buy.
