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.
He owns this because Europe is going to get turned around. This is a big, international bank. Their UK operation is a bigger operation than Spain, and the UK economy has been one of the better ones in Europe. Have a good presence in the US and they are large in Brazil. He is going to be a bit more patient with this and see if they get that lift when the European stock markets turn. Dividend yield of 3.6%.
