The company itself is fine, but the capital/lending cycle concerns him, where bankruptcies will increase and decrease earnings, buybacks and dividends.

Their just-released quarter shot the lights out, with great loan growth and defaults well below pre-Covid levels. Shares surged over $9 today. The street expected their credit card business would be plagued by defaults, but those folks were wrong.

Likes some of the credit card companies. They make sense. Secular push from cash to electronic payments. Likes this name, but watch its auto loans and sub-prime lending. Technically, has performed well since the lows of last year. See his Top Picks.

WEAK BUY
It's the 10th-largest US bank, at 8x PE. They expanded from credit cards into banking, and are building a strong brand. They're using technology to drive efficiency, will move to the cloud later this year. The trouble they'll have is that their client base on the retail side is weaker than peers like JP Morgan. COF isn't expensive and have grown impressively. Tech will make them more efficiency and overall COF will perform better post-Covid.

*Short*. The Company derives a good chunk of its revenue through its credit card business of about 40%, and its auto financing business, another 20%. Of that business, approximately one 3rd is subprime. One weak link in the US market is the subprime market where delinquencies and some of the charges are going to increase. Dividend yield of 2.1%. Thinks the stock can trade down to $59. (Analysts’ price target is $98.)

You have to start with a top-down analysis. Do you like financials? He can make a great case that financials will be much higher 5-10 years down the road. Remember, this is one sector that has never come back from the peaks that they held before the 2008 subprime crisis, so valuations generally are low. Also, it is one of the few groups that can benefit from higher interest rates. He feels this one has an excellent franchise. They are with the credit cards which is a growing way people pay worldwide. They also have some great individual banks.

(Top Pick Jan 9/15, Down 5.91%) He thinks you will have significant credit card growth in the US next year. There is potential for dividend growth.

TOP PICK

Decent sized regional US bank with credit cards being a big part of their business. Attractive share price. Trading at about 11X forward earnings. When and if short-term interest rates go up in the US, earnings will grow at a very decent clip. A very strong bank with a very attractive position in the credit card industry. Dividend yield of 1.79%.

This is a play on an increasing consumer spending and loan growth. It has been really hard for the US consumer to get a loan unless they had a pristine credit score. Credit card defaults and mortgage defaults have been the lowest they have ever been. Credit scores at origination have been as high as they have ever been. Eventually, as unemployment continues to get wound down and as consumers feel better because consumer confidence is high, there should be an acceleration of borrowing which plays right into this company. Valuation is reasonable and the balance sheet is in good shape. You should see outsized dividend growth going forward as they start to execute on their buybacks and return capital to shareholders. Credit card receivables in the US are still 15% lower than they were in 2007. Yield of 1.5%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/11. Down 8%.) Sold Aug Puts for $1.05. Stock took a severe drop along with a lot of stocks. Could have bought the Put back but because of volatility, the price increased. A way to get around it is to Short the stock, which he did.

Selling August Puts for $1.05. Great earnings momentum. Looking for a 3.1% yield.

Would still avoid this one. Their earnings power has been greatly diminished. There has been a lot of dilution. Trading at about 20X next year's earnings. Still have consumer problems. He switched from this to MasterCard (MA-N).

COMMENT
Cheap, cheap. Model price is $63.36, a 38% positive differential. He presumes everyone fears what they have and as they are not disclosing what they have so the market is punishing them. Will be looking closely at this in January.
finance / leasing
BUY
Forward PE of about 6.75. They have a great franchise and a great brand. They have had an ability to pick the people they send a credit card to. Default statistics have been better than the market. Not for the faint of heart but if you are willing to take some risks it is worth it.

BUY
(Market Call Minute) – Keeping his eye on this one. Thinks it’s good for the long term. The model price is $68.66, a 33% positive upside.
