Not willing to subscribe to the common 2008 theory that just because a bank is acquiring other banks, it's somehow able to shirk the financial industry problems-- or that a big bank is safer. Things not to like: They opened 20 new branches in 2007-- not a sign that mgt forsaw any of the obvious warning signs. Heavy in acquisitions: this has proved folly for banks, ESPECIALLY banks that made acquisitions before 2008 when they were expensive. Equity = $14 bn Now let's see what's so exciting on PNC's balance sheet... Assets = $140 bn (roughly) This means if PNC's assets suffer ...

Albertis $12.8B Bid to Lease PA Turnpike Expires with No Deal

Spanish infrastructure company Albertis and NY-based Citi Infrastructure have withdrawn their $12.8B bid to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike for 75 years after state legislators failed to vote on the proposal before an early end to their legislative session to focus on the upcoming election. Earlier in September, the Federal Highway Administration rejected a PA proposal to make I-80 a toll road, resulting in a $450M shortfall in the state's transportation budget when coupled with the failed bid to lease the turnpi

The Shakeout in Regional Banks


The accompanying table presents the 25 lowest-rated stocks in my US-based Regional Banking Index. The index contains a total of 99 companies with market caps between $500 million to $20 billion which are classified as either regional banks or savings and loan companies. The ratings for each company are calculated quarterly based on a formula which considers the price-to-book ratio, the trailing 52-week stock price performance, and the percentage of total market caps represented by each company.

Since putting together the index

PNC faces significant challenges from its low capitalisation and its poor quality asset portfolio.
Total asset backed securities of $28bn comprising: RMBS $20.7bn (either US govt agency issued or rated AAA), CMBS $4.9bn and other ABS $2.4bn.
The loan portfolio totals HELOCs $14.1bn and home mortgages of $1.8bn of which 61% are second lien.
PNC provides off-balance sheet liquidity commitments to Market Street of $7.8 billion and other credit enhancements of $0.7 billion.  With a CP market once again illiquid, these assets will now be migrating to PNC’s balance sh

PNC Financial Services: Facing the Heat Graphic_rating_sell PNC
+36.36%

To begin with, I would like to remind all that I am a private investor - not an analyst, nor a reporter or media professional.<!----> Hence, expect me to be short anything that I am bearish on and long on anything that I am bullish on. Very strong investment results are my goals, with the blog being a hobby.

With that being said, I am bearish on the regional banking sector withlarge concentrations of commercial real estate, consumer finance and 2ndlien residential real estate risk. I screened about 330 S&Ls, regional andsmall/mid-cap banks and the finalist of this contest was PNC (PNC). Bel

I like mid-sized financials before Fed's move to cut rate Graphic_rating_buy PNC

I believe that the financials have been beaten down too much amid extreme pessimism that the economy will enter into recession due to severe credit crunch.

With Fed now poised to ease, mid-size banks may be in a sweet spot to benefit from increased NIM and economy that is slowing but not entering into recession.

PE multiple may expand from extremely d epressed level.  I like PNC at this level.
