The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Customers Bancorp, Inc. CUBI-N PAST TOP PICK Oct 19, 2021

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CUBI is a $1.7 billion regional banking company operating 12 full service branches based in Pennsylvania. It went public back in 2013. It trades at 6x earnings and at 1.1x book value. With earnings growth over the next five years expected at 10%, its PEG ratio is a very low 0.6. We would buy this with a stop loss at $30, looking to achieve $46.50 -- upside potential over 24%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $46.38)
