Truist management has faced deserved criticism for poor execution and lagging performance, but deal integration challenges should be largely over and the insurance sale creates new options. Management has already used some of the insurance sale proceeds to reposition the balance sheet, improving the securities yield and adding net interest income leverage. Despite challenges in organic market share, Truist still compares well on metrics like net interest margin, asset yield, and operating efficiency, and the bank has capital to invest in growth.
Bill Gross thinks investors should be "exuberant" about one bank stock, in particular. He likes the stock's valuation and the bank's low exposure to commercial real estate.

Truist Financial (TFC) remains well-poised for top-line growth driven by loan demand and fee income growth, restructuring plans and higher rates. However, high costs and weak asset quality are woes.
