What are Wall Street analysts saying about Fifth Third Bancorp stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Fifth Third Bancorp stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Fifth Third have outperformed the industry, over the past six months. Also, the company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters. The first-quarter 2019 results reflected elevated revenues, a strong capital position along with higher expenses and provisions. Fifth Third’s ongoing strategic efforts, such as Project North Star, will likely boost its efficiency and revenues over the long run. Also, margin pressure seems to be easing gradually due to the Fed’s interest rate hikes and improving economic backdrop. However, elevated expenses on the company’s branch-digitization initiative and legal issues remain headwinds. Nevertheless, the company's involvement in steady capital-deployment activities remains impressive." (4/26/2019)
- 2. Vining Sparks analysts commented, "Much like the other Large Cap U.S. Banks, FITB currently trades at a significant discount to what we believe is a reasonable valuation. We don ’t believe that FITB’s current 139% price-to-tangible book value, after adjusting for the MB Financial acquisition, is representative of the 17% return -on-tangible common equity, expected in 2019E, or its current 3.6% dividend yield. As earnings per share continue to grow at close to 10% in 2019E, following a 39% increase in 2018, we also believe the 9.5x price-to-earnings is also unsustainably low. 35% total return potential seems high, we would remind investors that FITB traded at almost $35 less than a year ago."
