WAIT

For US banks, mortgages originate at the community banks and then move up the channel and can be sold. BAC participates in this. Income from these is largely transactional. If transactions slow, as in a rising interest rate environment, this would be a revenue headwind, and you'll see a spike in non-performing loans. US banks will trade down. But when we bottom out, there will be a significant opportunity. Wouldn't touch a US bank now.

BUY

Likes the company is positive on outlook for the business. Traditional retail banking is not going anywhere. Owns shares in the company. Thinks management team is strong. Room for cost cutting and implementation of technology in business.

TOP PICK

The poster bank for investment are most levered to higher interest rates and will do the best as rates rise. Their last report was positive, talking about strong loan growth. If the US Fed navigates a soft landing, BAC will do very well. If there's a recession, that will hit loan growth in the banks, but he sees a soft landing. (Analysts’ price target is $42.43)

BUY

Among US banks, they are the best play as interest rates rise. BAC has a giant deposit base, their last quarter was solid, and they have best technology in the bank business.

TOP PICK

Owns 10% of all assets in the US. Cost-cutting. Trades at 10x earnings, below book value. Owns great businesses. Management strong on loan book. Will be able to buy back shares, though not as much as before, and increase dividend. Substantially lower payout ratio than most Canadian banks. Yield is 2.63%.

COMMENT

Reported a very good quarter today, but the market yawned. The stock deserved more love.

TOP PICK

One of the US's biggest banks. Trades at 10x earnings and 1x book. Cheap compared to competition. Paul Harris and Gordon Reid recently chose it as a TOP PICK. Social media mentions rose 33% over the past 24h.

TOP PICK

One of the US's biggest banks. It continues to cut costs using technology and still has a strong capital base. It trades at 10x earnings and 1x book. Cheap. Pays a 2.9% dividend. They continue to buyback shares and they will likely raise their dividend. You need to see more organic growth, since they can't buy more businesses (existing ones are strong, though). (Analysts’ price target is $47.11)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 15/21, Down 11%) Market sentiment has built-in a fairly deep recession. As research comes in, the market will rethink this and banks will continue upward. Very sensitive to interest rates, so does very well with steeper yield curve. Loan growth good, consumer is healthy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 08/20, Up 62%) Issue is where's the top in this interest rate cycle? With interest rate moves so far this year, financials are having a difficult time. Housing, a major component of the US economy, looks like it's weakening. Tough Fed talk is not good for asset prices like banks.

BUY

Banks have been hit lately, but don't forget that interest rates will go up and this will widen their spreads. The consumer is in good shape. Credit xxxx. Banks offer cheap valuations. JOPM is on her list while BAC is her biggest position among banks.

BUY

banks Banks have been hit lately, but don't forget that interest rates will go up and this will widen their spreads and feed their revenues. The consumer is in good shape. Credit quality is in excellent shape. Banks now offer cheap valuations. JPM is on her list while BAC is her biggest position among the banks. MS is big in asset/wealth management, though offers less lending. BAC is also attractive.

BUY

Financials have been sold off. BAC and JPM are trading at 1.7x tangible book. JPM hasn't seen such levels in 15 years, and BAC has returned to this level since Covid hit. Overall, bank valuations are now making sense.

BUY

Likes financials, sees value. Worry out there about recession and interest rates. As long as the economy continues to plug along, banks on both sides of the border are an opportunity. Fairly well run. Concerning that shares have fallen below 200-day MA. Should increase share buybacks and dividends. Great yield of 2.3%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 06/21, Up 2%) Great story. Net interest income up, good loan growth. Fee income generation will be much tougher. Not trading at a huge multiple of 11x earnings. Will see dividend increases and share buybacks. Good buy here. Yield about 2%.
