racemize Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 JPM -- only buy backs! 10 billion. What's the BAC total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tng Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 BAC is around 8 billion total, sounds like they could have gotten 10 billion approved based on the other banks. They probably got conservative given the embarrassment last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpRaider Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Dimon is beautiful with the 100% going to buybacks of far below intrinsic value stock. Seems like a textbook "Outsider" CEO adding value with a capital allocation decision. I frankly loathe myself a little for owning BAC and not JPM. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treasurehunt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Dimon is beautiful with the 100% going to buybacks of far below intrinsic value stock. Seems like a textbook "Outsider" CEO adding value with a capital allocation decision. I frankly loathe myself a little for owning BAC and not JPM. ;D The press release says that JPM is continuing its 48 cents per share quarterly dividend. That is an annual payout of about $7 billion. So if everything goes as planned, shareholders get a total capital return of $17.5 billion or so over the next year. As a shareholder, I'm pretty happy.

CorpRaider Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I would be happy too. Congrats. Gold star to Moynihan and Co too. Much better than recent years for sure. We are all getting paid like 6 - 8% in "shareholder yield" to wait. Too bad we BAC holders are on the lower end of that spectrum (looks like the lowest of all the big banks to me). Buybacks would of course be even more impactful given the current valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I expected $7-$8 billion, so I'm pretty happy. Their minimum ratios are much higher than I had expected, bodes well for 2017 capital return even incorporating gsib surcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finetrader Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Just sold half of my BAC position to buy WFC. BAC was about 50% of my portfolio, so I diversified a bit. Let's see if it was a good move or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemize Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Forgive the double post, but since this is the thread that sparked the whole discussion, I thought it made sense to post my CoL essay here. Also, there's a long discussion of BAC-A warrants and their CoL behavior since inception that I think is worth looking at for BAC investors. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u3epy2qiepi9odr/2016-10-11%20Cost%20of%20Leverage.pdf?dl=0 The CoL on the warrants are now at one of their lowest levels in a while, so they aren't too bad. However, in the past, common performance has pretty much always beaten the warrants due to CoL fluctuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racemize Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Glad they are out buying, but 1.5 billion is only 1% of the company. And I don't think they can raise until next year and/or next stress test results (maybe they can do what them and JPM did at Q1 last year?).

ourkid8 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 BAC's is ~4%, not significant like AIG but still meaningful. Glad they are out buying, but 1.5 billion is only 1% of the company.

brendanb22 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Starting to approach TBV / intrinsic value. What are everyone's thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAiGuy Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Starting to approach TBV / intrinsic value. What are everyone's thoughts? Move on to something cheaper? Worth ~$18-20 a share w/ ROTE at ~10-12% and multiple of ~10-12. It could be worth more, but then you need a view on interest rates, interest rates, growth, etc that are more favorable than a return to normalcy.

rkbabang Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I still have a very full position... maybe I should trim some. I trimmed a lot today. I still have some warrants, but I have closed all of my options out. It's been a tough 12 months or so holding the calls. I'm glad I didn't panic and sell earlier though. I'm done with options for a while I think. Too much stress and I don't like the time constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Lots to like about financials right now: 1.) US 10 year bond is up 22 basis points and is now over 2%; it was 1.4% a few months ago 2.) good bye Elizabeth Warren 3.) financial regulators appointed by Trump will likely be much more supportive of the big banks 4.) likelihood of new anti big bank laws getting passed is very low 5.) likelihood of Dodd Frank getting watered down is medium to high (Trump said he wants to repeal it) The big banks are over capitalized. They are also very profitable. They are returning around 8% to shareholders (dividends plus stock buybacks). The political tone in Washington will likely shift in the coming months and become more pro bank (from rabid anti bank). Weave it all together and I see earnings growth, much lower share count and multiple expansion. This usually results in much higher stock prices. And if the fed raises in Dec this will be icing on the cake for bank investors, PS: and, yes, the past 12 months have been very hard for investors in bank stocks (felt like I was living the movie Groundhog Day).
