- Sunday, January 6, 2:56 AM The Fed is reportedly holding up a $10B deal between 14 large banks and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to settle abusive foreclosure practices in 2009-2010. While the banks and the OCC want to finalize the agreement ahead of the start of earnings season this week, the Fed is unhappy about the way payments to consumers under the settlement would be determined. Smaller banks also oppose the deal. 2 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, January 4, 10:47 AM Big-cap bank bulls worried about a little too much love being shown for the hot sector may take comfort from an Atlantic cover and story entitled "What's Inside America's Banks?" It rehashes worries about the opaqueness of bank balance sheets and seems to draw quite a bit from a frustrated Bill Ackman who unloaded his Citigroup stake at a big loss right around the bottom last summer. 12 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, January 4, 7:20 AM More on the Goldman bank moves: SunTrust (STI) joins Citigroup in being upgraded, while Wells Fargo (WFC) and BB&T (BBT) join JPMorgan in being downgraded. "The stronger the bank, the fewer the EPS levers," says Goldman, clearly expecting a stronger economy and housing market in 2013. 2 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, January 2, 8:50 AM More on the Bank of America (BAC) upgrade: Evercore isn't frightened away by the doubling in BofA's stock last year, noting the move came off a ridiculously cheap price. The bank stands out among its TBTF brethren as having the "greatest identifiable levers" for higher earnings. Knocked out as Evercore's top large-cap bank stock is Wells Fargo (WFC). 6 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, December 31, 2012, 2:37 AM Fourteen banks are reportedly set to reach a $10B settlement with regulators over abusive foreclosure practices such as incorrect paperwork and excessive charges. The banks include the five that agreed to pay $26B in another deal earlier this year - JPMorgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC), Citigroup (C) and Ally Financial. The latest settlement will allow banks to end a review of 4M loan files that has cost 1.5B so far. 32 Comments [Financials, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 2:03 PM A U.S. appeals court has lifted an injunction and $203M restitution award levied on Wells Fargo (WFC) in a class-action suit related to its overdraft fee policies. However, the court did still find Wells to have violated a portion of California's unfair competition laws, and has remanded the case to a trial court. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 1:16 PM Morgan Stanley is out with mostly positive calls on a slew of big-cap banks, with C, JPM, COF, and STI their top picks. Downgraded to Neutral, however, are WFC, USB, and BBT. 4 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 9:11 AM Angling to offer clients more in the way of hedge funds, Wells Fargo (WFC) purchases a 35% stake in Rock Creek Group, a fund of funds firm with $7B in AUM. While Rock Creek is strictly institutional investor territory, it's hard to believe Wells Fargo doesn't have an eye on a retail offering at some point. (PR) 1 Comment [Financials, M&A]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 1:10 PM Leading the market higher are the financials - WFC +3.3%, BAC +3%, PNC +3.3%, to name a few. At a 52-week high of $10.90, Bank of America is poised to take out $11 for the first time in 18 months. Up 1.7% today, the XLF +25.3% YTD. 2 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 3:17 AM The Fed is reportedly discouraging the top U.S. banks from making large acquisitions as it informally uses powers it received under the Dodd-Frank Law and attempts to limit the ability of banks to threaten the stability of the financial system should they fail. Those told not to make major purchases include Capital One Financial (COF) after its $9B acquisition of ING's U.S. online business. 10 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, December 10, 2012, 6:03 AM The Bank of England and FDIC unveil the first cross-border plan to deal with too-big-to-fail banks that start...failing. Senior management would be sacked, shareholders would be wiped out, and unsecured bondholders "can expect that their claims would be written down to reflect any losses that shareholders cannot cover," which didn't happen in the financial-crisis bailouts. (PR) 21 Comments [Financials, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 11:07 AM Previously benefiting from European banks' need to offload U.S. assets, Wells Fargo (WFC) isn't seeing as much action lately, says CEO John Stumpf. The pressure is somewhat in Europe at the moment, but there's also the competition. "We are asset-hungry, but then again, most companies are right now," he tells a Goldman conference. (presentation) 1 Comment [Financials]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 10:06 AM The FRBNY's Bill Dudley notes a widening spread between primary and secondary mortgage rates. In English, lower mortgage rates as a result of the Fed's MBS purchases are not being fed through to consumers. Who could have guessed that ever happening? It's no shock to mREITs, many of whom have noted origination capacity - decimated during the financial crisis - isn't coming back overnight. For those still in the origination business, it means fat profits. 5 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 3:55 AM The SEC has dropped a long-running investigation into whether Wells Fargo (WFC) misled investors in the sale of mortgage bonds. The probe is the second one related to such securities that the SEC has closed without making charges, with the agency dropping an inquiry into Goldman Sachs earlier this year. Still, the SEC did recently win settlements totaling over $400M from JPMorgan and Credit Suisse. 6 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 1:11 PM Wells Fargo (WFC) expands its board to 16 members, bringing on former PWC partner Howard Richardson to join the audit and examination committee's. Richardson's appointment makes for the third board addition in the last 18 months. (PR) Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, November 26, 2012, 4:23 PM Merit Medical Systems (MMSI) acquires Thomas Medical Products from GE Healthcare (GE) for approximately $167M in cash. MMSI intends to finance the the purchase by expanding it's existing credit facility to $275M, which Wells Fargo Bank (WFC) has committed to provide in a single transaction. The company expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to net earnings, and expects to take advantage of tax benefits with approximately $43M of net present value. 1 Comment [M&A, Healthcare]
