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.
Bank of America (BAC-N) or Banco Santander (SAN-N)? This has a much lower dividend yield. They cut the dividend by two thirds and did a big equity issue, which is the reason for the big slide in the price. A very well-run bank, but there was a big chunk of stock that was placed with investors, so the share price is probably going to mark time for a while. Bank of America is probably the one you should stay with.
