- Friday, March 8, 7:40 AM A check of the largest banks premarket after last night's stress test results: C +2.1%, JPM -0.8%, BAC +0.3%, WFC +0.5%, MS -1.6%, GS -0.3%. The XLF +0.6%. Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, March 7, 4:50 PM More on the Fed Stress Tests: The exams measured to make sure banks' Tier 1 Common Ratio remained above 5% in the Fed's "severely adverse" economic scenario - GDP falling 5%, the UE rate rising to 12%, a 50% fall in stocks, and recessions overseas, among a number of other variables. This table shows the results, with GS and MS just passing, and BAC, C, WFC, and JPM getting by with a little more room. 6 Comments [Financials]
- Thursday, March 7, 4:37 PM Fed Stress Tests: Ally Financial is the only bank not meeting the Fed standards. All of the other 18 holding companies showed a Tier 1 Common Ratio higher than 5% under the central bank's severe loss scenario. 24 Comments [Financials, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Thursday, March 7, 11:01 AM The big U.S. banks are considering defying the Fed and announcing capital return plans shortly after stress tests are released this afternoon, reports Bloomberg. The Fed wants the lenders to wait another week, but bank lawyers worry the plans will leak out. It's under discussion, JPM CFO Lake told an investor conference (transcript) Tuesday. XLF +0.6%. 34 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, March 5, 8:34 AM After generating 12 consecutive quarters of EPS growth, will Wells Fargo (WFC) produce a 13th? A questioner at Wells' presentation at the Citi Financial Services Conference notes Q1 estimates are for $0.88/share vs. Q4 earnings of $0.91. Whatever the earnings are, says CFO Tim Sloan, they won't be low-quality. With Fed stress test results due Thursday, Wells says its aiming for a payout ratio of 50-65% of earnings. (earlier) Comment! [Financials]
- Tuesday, March 5, 7:39 AM KeyCorp (KEY), State Street (STT), Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan (JPM), and BB&T (BBT) make RBC's list of best-capitalized banks - those that the Fed this month should allow dividends/buybacks of 75-100% of earnings. WFC, FITB, and MTB are in the middle of the pack and should be allowed payouts of 50-75%. Capital laggards - BAC, C, and COF - may only be allowed payouts of 10-30% of earnings. 6 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, March 4, 11:55 AM Expect gradual, but not outsized jumps in capital returns from the banks this year, says Goldman (stress tests results are due Thursday, capital return decisions due March 14). Management teams are likely to be conservative in their requests from the Fed as "taking a mulligan" - i.e., resubmitting a plan after being shot down - is not seen as a viable option. 6 Comments [Financials]
- Sunday, February 24, 4:52 AM Federal and state regulators are reportedly investigating the role of major banks in facilitating the activities of online payday lenders that make short-term loans at exorbitant interest rates. The banks, which can earn lucrative overdraft and other fees, allow the lenders to automatically withdraw cash from debtor accounts, even in states where such loans are banned. 31 Comments [Financials]
- Thursday, February 21, 3:26 PM Wells Fargo (WFC +1.3%) is a rare big-cap in the green, with news Warren Buffett added 17.3M shares to Berkshire's stake in the company (total now 439.8M) not hurting. Wells has now surpassed Coca-Cola as Berkshire's largest holding. Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, February 21, 8:04 AM Loopholes. "We believe that we will continue to be able to invest, and we continue to invest today," in our P-E business, said Wells Fargo (WFC) CFO Tim Sloan recently. By using its own capital and the capital of some employees for deals, Wells is considered to be engaging in "merchant banking," likely to be exempt under Volcker. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Wednesday, February 20, 6:25 PM Morningstar's Ultimate Stock Pickers recently have displayed more breadth than depth in its high-conviction and new-money purchases, even with the increase in investor inflows in early part of 2013. Their newest top 10: TJX, GILD, AIG, BAC, AAPL, DVN, ORCL, WFC, DELL, KO. 7 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, February 13, 7:45 AM Are more gains in store for the banks after the President last night gave a push to the stalled Menendez-Boxer bill which would streamline the refinancing process for Fannie and Freddie borrowers? BAC +0.9%, C +0.3%, JPM +0.5% premarket (no trades for WFC). 6 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, February 11, 4:11 PM Wells Fargo (WFC) is nearing the sale of its mortgage servicing rights while retaining customer contact through sub-servicing, suggests Compass Point. The arrangement would be similar to that between Ocwen (OCN) and Home Loan Servicing (HLSS). Cerberus Mortgage's IPO filing on Friday discusses this sort of investment. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, February 11, 8:26 AM Wells Fargo (WFC) is upgraded to Buy at Stifel Nicolaus, as valuations have the firm doing a bit of shuffling in its bank ratings. UBS catches an upgrade as well, but Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) is cut to Hold. 3 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, February 5, 12:18 PM More on the banks: Wells Fargo (WFC) is a top pick of Mosby's, with an expected return on tangible common equity of 17.4% far above the 9.5% cost of of equity. The bank recently hiked its quarterly dividend to $0.25, and Mosby expects more - a total 2013 dividend payout of $1.20. Comment! [Financials]
- Tuesday, January 29, 12:41 PM Why doesn't Buffett (BRK.B) buy back more shares? He can do better elsewhere, writes The Brooklyn Investor, posting the "astonishing" record of book value/share growth in Wells Fargo (WFC) over the past decade. If a fund had this sort of record, investors would be begging to get in, but just because it's a TBTF bank, many refuse to invest. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
