Top 5 Regional Bank Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Wells Fargo’s (WFC) financial results disappointed investors but could be good news for PNC Financial Services (PNC), Fifth Third (FITB), KeyCorp (KEY) and Comerica (CMA).

Bloomberg News

Nomura’s Bill Carcache and Yuman Lui explain why:

Loan growth trends were solid. WFC�� total core loan growth came in at 6.9% YoY, up from 5.6% last quarter. Core commercial loan growth accelerated to 8.0% YoY, up from 5.4% last quarter. The strength in WFC�� commercial loan portfolio bodes well for other regional banks, given high C&I growth correlations (i.e., ~80% or higher) with…USB, MTB…RF, and HBAN. Total loan growth correlations also exceed 90% for PNC Financial Services, Fifth Third, KeyCorp, and Comerica. As we��e noted, the R-squared between earning asset growth and NII growth is 98% for regional banks, suggesting that stronger loan growth will lead to positive EPS revisions.
