PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 17/21, Down 22%) Hard time for banks right now with rising interest rates. Premier bank in the USA and maybe the world. Will continue to hold shares. Good long term investment. Excellent management team.

BUY

It is in the top five in investment banking. All lines of business including the credit card business are strong. Trades at 10X earnings and 1.1X book. It has a good balance sheet, continues to buy back shares, and has room to grow its dividend. Buy for the long term.

TOP PICK

Best-run US bank for a number of years. Impeccable management. Consistent growth. #1 in their businesses. Very well capitalized. Valuation of 10-11x earnings. Buying back shares and increasing dividend. Opportunity to buy a best-in-class business. Yield is 3.41%. (Analysts’ price target is $138.37)

BUY

Has traded down with all the US banks on recession fears and weaker loan growth. This is pessimistic. Wit higher interest rates by the Fed, the banks would make money on their interest spreads. Any loan growth loss would be marginal and would be covered by other businesses within the banks. The lack of IPOs now means the banks are focusing instead on their trading desks--the banks always have a lever to pull to make money. Also, the loan reserves during the pandemic didn't happen, so in 2022 the banks released those reserves.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 25/22, Down 20%) People feel they will earn less in capital markets, but JPM has so many tools to make money. Plus, their scale is so vast. Remains a must-own.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 13/21, Down 25%) The only US bank she holds. It's one of the best managed. JPM continues to invest on tech and AI to fund future growth. Well-capitalized. Nice dividend and PE.

BUY

They report Thursday. Usually, shares get crushed after the report, but what if there's nowhere to go except up because they have fallen so far? It makes no sense that their net interest margins are so high, yet shares are so low. Before when net interest margins were much lower, shares were much higher. No sense. He likes the banks before their quarter. The St. Louis Fed says that loans were still strong this quarter. Banks, which have been frigid, could be hot now and they usually work well at this point of the cycle. MS pays a good dividend.

TOP PICK

Market is pricing in a recession. If that does not happen, JPM will deliver good results. Positive loan growth. Guy Adami recently gave a Buy signal. Social media mentions are up 300% for the past 24h.

HOLD

No surprise that banks are off so much, because the market is pricing in a recession, though he's neutral. He's holding onto his banks including JPM and isn't buying the current weakness in banks. Labour costs are a headwind, but improving loan growth is a positive going forward. He also likes Blackstone because of their superb management.

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.

HOLD

Impact of Russia? They don't have as much exposure to Russia as other American banks like Citi. Also consider the size of the Russia economy, which is around Canada's, so not that large. JPM shares are down because of fears that the US Fed will lead the US economy into recession. If that does not happen, JPM will deliver good results, like positive loan growth. This is good to hold onto.

DON'T BUY

JPM is too pricey at 2x price-to-book. GS is only 1x, so he prefers this. He also likes regional banks to some degree.

BUY

You don't need to worry about them (earnings missed today), because the CEO is so strong. He's underpromising and over-delivering. The financial sector is an opportunity overall. Banks with a diversified business mix will do well, despite facing some challenges. She feels this way about Goldman Sachs, too.

BUY

The best time to invest is when things are down. Phenomenal, long-term franchise. Weathered financial crisis well. Good and growing dividend yield. Low valuation. Great time to step in. Flat yield curve is not great for banks, and geopolitical risk right now. But if you wait for things to normalize, the stock's already recovered.

WAIT

JPM vs. WFC Neither stands out over the other. JPM is 10x earnings, whereas WFC is 10.7x. Problem is that rising interest rates by themselves don't mean bigger profits. Wants to see stability in the yield curve, as it's flattened quite quickly. Needs to see fund flows get better before buying.
