The Bancorp: A Change Of Opinion Justifies An Upgrade
Initially bullish on The Bancorp, I downgraded it to 'hold' due to its high valuation, but now I believe a soft 'buy' is justified. The Bancorp's unique fintech focus, including payment facilitation and specialty lending, differentiates it from traditional banks and drives significant non-interest income.

Horizon Bancorp Appears Undervalued With A Positive Earnings Outlook
The loan growth will likely slow down significantly this year because of a planned runoff of auto loans. Further, the outlook for commercial loans is lackluster.

I'm expecting earnings to grow to $1.75 per share in 2025 from $0.80 per share in 2024.

Banking stocks have corrected, but USB has underperformed - it offers a medium-term buying opportunity with a 15-20% upside potential. Despite a 6.4% YoY drop in Net Interest Income (NII) due to deposit mix pressures, NII and Net Interest Margin (NIM) have turned a corner. While delinquency ratios have increased from 2022 levels, they stabilized throughout 2024, signaling low room for further drop. Commercial Loans remain a risk.

East West Bancorp shows impressive balance sheet growth and high asset quality, but declining revenue and profits remain concerns. Despite recent stock appreciation, East West Bancorp's current valuation and mixed financial results justify a 'hold' rating over a 'buy'. The company's net interest income and net interest margin have decreased, while provisions for credit losses and non-performing assets have risen.
