Stan WongBarclays Bank PLCBCSTOP PICKSep 13, 2012

Hasn’t bought as yet but is looking to purchase on a pull back. Number 4 bank in terms of assets globally. Obviously got hurt by the entire European debt situation. Last week’s action by the ECB has certainly helped the stock. Has broken out above the 200 day moving average. In this kind of a situation, you want to have a stop loss in place.

He sold Barclay's because the loan business is slowing, maybe caused by Brexit, and this will harm ROE, which he pegs at 8% vs. the industry's 10%. At least, Barclay's gives investors exposure to international markets. He sees better opportunities elsewhere.

TOP PICK

Barclays Bank PLC(BCS)

Oct 07, 2021
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We reiterate BCS as a TOP PICK. The UK top ranked retail bank is well diversified across personal, corporate, investment banking, credit and wealth management. It trades at 7x earnings compared to peers at 14x and it trades below book value. It has a small dividend, backed by a payout ratio of 50% of cashflow and it is building its cash reserve holdings. We would buy this with a stop loss at $9.25 looking to achieve $12.50 -- upside potential over 16%. Yield 2.05% (Analysts’ price target is $12.46)

WEAK BUY

Barclays Bank PLC(BCS)

Jan 27, 2021

Best European bank? European banking is difficult, given negative interest rates. Best in class is Barclay's for its investing banking business or Lloyd's Banking. There should be more consolidation here, but it's difficult in Europe (look at ATD'B trying to buy Carrefour this month).

COMMENT

Sep 27, 2019
British banks have been hit badly due to negative sentiment for Brexit. Barclay has had management issues and we've seen political in-fighting. Would prefer Lloyd's. As long as there is Brexit uncertainty, this will be volatile.

More focused in London, but also in the Eurozone, where there is a negative interest rate. There could be more downside on the pound if there is a hard Brexit. Would look into U.S. banks.

COMMENT

May 07, 2019
Barclays vs. Deutsche Bank He prefers Deutsche Bank, because it trades at a much lower valuation. Both trade at a fraction of their book value. Deutsche Bank has turned a corner with cost-cutting, though Barclays pays a better dividend. He likes European banks because they've been so beaten down and are trading at a fraction of valuation of the US banks. This is a pivotal year for Deutsche Bank and it should enjoy a big earnings bump.

He thinks the UK Brexit situation will likely keep interest rates from rising, which will supportive to the market. He would prefer other names. He would stay away from BCS-N until they show better recovery in earnings.

BUY

Feb 13, 2019
Deustche Bank vs. Barclay's DB is poorly run; he much prefers Barclay's. DB has gone though massive restructuring with many difficulties, still is. They've had a poorly run retail banking business. With their investment bank, they've bought a lot of things without integrating their technology. So, after the 2008 crash, things got very difficult for DB. A lot of their business was in fixed income where a lot of capital is used. Barclay's is in a much better position. They bought Lehman Brothers; has a great retail business; great credit card and superb investment bank businesses. It's run by an ex-JP Morgan buy. DB is a trade at best, while Barclay's will see growth for a while.

Likes it. They bought Lehman, which had investment banking but was really a bond house, so Dodd-Frank caused a lot of capital issues and restrictions. New management is doing a good job by sticking with investment banking and have a great retail franchise in the UK, and they exited businesses around the world that didn't work out. They're going all the right things, though Brexit creates uncertainty. Great credit card business. It will do well, but have to get past Brexit early next year.

He owns other European banks instead. It has 25% of the business in Spain. With interest rates low, it could be poised for a good future once the yield curve normalizes.
