He expects it to reach new highs as it pays a yield of 4%.

They reported an okay quarter earlier this week, beating revenues and EPS, but their guidance wasn't encouraging. It rallied when the regional banks rebounded last year. PNC isn't his favourite in this space, but owning it won't hurt you.

The regional banks have been reporting decent earnings, because net-interest margins are great and high rates are another benefit. She will buy names like PNC.

They reported a 5% earnings beat, but a tepid forecast. Still, shares rallied nearly 7% last week.

Likes that they have a diversified deposit base of retail and commercial, and have only 2.7% exposure to commercial real estate. Deposits have grown, taking some business from the smaller regionals.

Pays a yield of 5%. The regional banks are now valued the same as the big money centers, so were overvalued before. He targets $130 for PNC as a trade.

Favourite US bank He avoids cyclical businesses. Brokerage businesses in Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are very well run are more investment bank/trading firms. Theoretically, they should trade lower multiples than more diversified banks like JPMorgan. He owns 4 banks, including PNC will likely be a major consolidator given their strong balance sheet. Are well-run. he expect them to buy back shares and raise their dividend.
