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.

Valuation

Citi, C

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.

TOP PICK

Stock went down 5% recently because they bought the biggest credit card issuer in the US, MBNA, but feel they can manage it. Has a 4.43% dividend.
