Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Banco Santander SA (SAN) has shown remarkable performance this year, attributed to increased tourism spending in Spain and its diversified operations across Latin America. The bank is also making noteworthy strides in the U.S. market with the launch of Openbank, indicating a strategic expansion. However, experts highlight a significant risk factor: Spanish banks, including SAN, have a higher level of non-performing assets compared to their European counterparts, which raises concerns about potential future vulnerabilities. Despite these risks, the bank is viewed as well-run with effective risk management practices, suggesting that it has the capability to navigate the current financial landscape despite some underlying challenges.

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya, BBVA-N

WEAK BUY

The large Spanish banks are up 40-50% this year due to more tourism spending there, plus the bank's diversification across Latin American. They may leave the UK and its high taxes and laws. But the Spanish banks are 3x riskier than European ones, because the Spanish one's non-performing assets are 3% vs. the 1% average. Take this with a grain of salt. SAN is having a great year, but is coming off previous lows.

BUY

A huge Spanish bank whose presence is rapidly growing in the US. They just launched Openbank in the U.S.

BUY

He likes European and US financials. SAN is solid and well-run, managing risks well.

BUY

The stock is breaking out. They are crushing it in Mexico.

BUY

If Ukraine gets settled soon, it's a great buy, as it's very cheap. Politics is getting in the way. A worldwide bank, but the bulk is in Europe. He'd prefer ING.

DON'T BUY

European bank stocks have been hammered worse then North American ones because of the Russian war. Valuations now look cheap, like 6x PE with SAN. However, ING is better-run and trades at a similar PE, and pays a 6% dividend, so he prefers it.

BUY

A great CEO, though he's never had the nerve to buy it. The best European bank.

BUY

Banco Santander has a massive franchise and good potential to do well.

WEAK BUY

A unique franchise--a Spanish bank with a strong presence in Latin America as well as Europe and UK. It's a retail bank. Look at their growth in emerging markets, which is the key to the story. This can be volatile given the economies of those countries, especially during Covid. That said, they execute well. You buy this for the growth in Latin America.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 17/18, Down 1%) Tailwind went when Fed slowed on interest hikes. Dissatisfied holding it. Wouldn't panic sell it, but it depends if he finds a better place to park capital.

COMMENT

Low book value. The premise was that it was cheap and with the dividend you would do well and with interest rates going higher in Europe you would get your growth. That never happened.

DON'T BUY

European banks have been hit hard. He sees better value in ING Groep NV. Cheaper and better.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It held up very well during European economic crises, but the issue is they are waiting for higher interest rates in Europe. After this sell-off, he'd buy it. It's Latin-focussed, so if you believe in those territories, it's a good buy.

DON'T BUY

If you are selling anything to buy bit back, consult your tax advisor. He would not go near any Spanish banks because the country is over banked. Latin American exposure is also a risk.

BUY

He's long owned this. European banks are cheap like American ones in 2015-6 before they took off. SAN does 25% business in Brazil, and their recent election brings clarity. So, their economy is ready to go. SAN is a well-managed bank. The problem with Europe is getting their central bank to normalize the yield curve, and until then it'll be tough slogging.
