This summary was created by AI, based on 23 opinions in the last 12 months.

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

Likes this company a lot. Has had a meaningful pull back in recent days on its acquisition of MBNA. That has created a very favourable opportunity. Raised the dividend 11% recently, so at the current stock price the yield is almost 4.5%. Trades at less than 11 X earnings.

TOP PICK

Favourable on US banks. They have a lower P/E multiple and higher dividend yield than Canadian banks. Likes the financial sector. With the Cdn$ starting to decline, they are moving money to get some currency gain. Extremely well run. Growing quickly. There is still lots of consolidation still to happen in the US. Very good dividend yield.

TOP PICK

Return on equity is very good and the 4.5% dividend is very good. Growth is pretty good. In the non-risky part of the market. A very solid holding.

BUY

One of the leading banks in the US and one of the better run banks.

WEAK BUY

When looking at this bank, you have to look at the credit cycle and where we are in the credit cycle. Good track record of working its way through that. Even if corporate profitability turns over during the next 8/24 months, they should do OK in the areas they are in. Yield of 3.8%. Prefers Canadian financials without any currency risk.

BUY

Cheap and a good dividend yield. Still some restructuring.

TOP PICK

Should do well if Kerry wins the election.

TOP PICK

4% yield. Assimilating an acquisition of Fleet. Heavy loan portfolio, so makes money if interest rates rise.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan of banks at this time. Feels there will be a major set back in banks before this cycle is finished. Fair market value is in the high $30's so the stock is overvalued. Paying decent dividends which is helping to hold the stock up.

TOP PICK

Made a very smart decision getting into FleetBoston. Cost savings are going to be very significant. Strong management.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

In general, US banks look more vulnerable than Canadian banks because of the mortgage market in the US. Has structured itself to take advantage of higher interest rates so it is a psychological factor. Buy on weakness. Excellent management.

TOP PICK

DON'T BUY

A reasonably well-run bank. Prefers retail banking. Don't expect a lot of growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick July 15/03. Down 9.3%.) Has dropped because of a big acquisition. Thinks it’s a short-term blip. Still likes.

DON'T BUY

Fairly valued now.Right on their model price.
