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.
Would prefer a local bank in Spain for a Spanish bank. There are less than 10 Spanish banks left standing. Now you have a consolidated industry, plus in an economy that was on its knees until about 6 months ago. Prefers others for global banking exposure.
