Banco Santander SASANTOP PICKNov 22, 2013Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 18, 2026. Market Open.
He doesn’t own this, but he owns comparable banks. The whole global banking sector is trading at very cheap multiples. They are all under pressure from the flattening yield curve, and they all pay hefty dividends. The bank’s poor performance is sector-driven more than driven by the political issues in the countries where it does business.
Spanish bank with a lot of Latin America exposure as well. Great yield. Has never taken any government money and hasn’t cut the dividend. Has a big operation in Brazil. Has flexibility because it does have international operations. Very big in the UK and in northern Europe as well. Thinks it can reach the Basil requirements with no problems.
