They reported in-line sales and earnings, but gave a lower-than-expected Q3 forecast, and cut their full-year outlook. But it still rallied 9% last week.
Gold standard amongst US banks. Consistently profitable during the downturn. Growing deposit base is growing the loan book. Past fed test with flying colours. Will increase dividend. So well positioned to continue to take market share.
Trades at a premium to book value and at the high end of the PE range. Thinks it will continue to do well. But others will do even better. Loan book is pristine and is an incredibly well run bank.
Likes the US banks. Feels this one is fully valued here. Their commercial lending was very strong. Because he is concerned about a market correction, he would much prefer an ETF (ZUB-T). Thinks there is too much risk buying individual banks. Likes the sector.
She likes US financials as economies recover and loan demand returns. Savings rates are high. USB is high quality. You can build positions in any US bank to take part in the economic recovery and when interest rates rise.
Earlier this week, they reported a modest revenue beat as EPS was inline, but guidance was tepid. After rallying hard in Q4 last year, shares have pulled back to start the year.
