Ally Financial is upgraded to a "Buy" as credit trends improve, and capital ratios gradually strengthen, despite a cautious reserve position. ALLY's credit quality is bolstered by tightened underwriting, declining delinquencies, and lower net charge-offs, insulating the bank from sector-wide subprime risks. Strategic deposit reduction and disciplined asset management have supported margin expansion, while the 3.1% dividend yield remains secure.
If any investor has stood the test of time, it is Warren Buffett, and with good reason.
