By and large US banks are quite cheap. There is still a holdover from 2008-2009 where there were some issues. The longer that time goes on, the longer interest rates stay low and the longer these companies get rid of and restructure their balance sheets, the better is their outlook. They all have good upside potential of 50%-70%. It is a question of when the market is going to be a little more relaxed about the stocks and freely buy and recommend them again.
Believes it is the 5th largest bank in the US. Has a nice dividend yield of 2.7%. Very strong in commercial lending as well as business lending, and works with consumers. Has very good relationship management with communities in the Midwest. It really makes sense to buy a company like this. There will be more integration and more acquisitions within banking.
