Stock price when the opinion was issued
One of his top 10 positions. Financial sector has been performing nicely. Best income, balance sheet, and technicals. Leader in the sector breaking out in 2013, whereas the sector didn't break out until 8 years later. That tells you what investors think about it. Long-term bull market in financials in front of us.
It's pulled back, so buy it now. Now only 130% of book value. Gold standard in banking in the world. Revenues were up 13% y/y. Economy is opening up a bit faster than predicted, so some reserves may be recaptured. Can absorb the recent fines without a hiccup. A different situation than with Wells Fargo; JPM penalty is a one-off.
