By and large, it looks like investors continue to prefer the regional banks to the money center banks such as
JPMorgan (NYSE:
JPM),
Citi (NYSE:
C) and
Bank Of America (NYSE:
BAC).
To a certain extent, this makes sense - the regional banks are simpler
to understand, less volatile (due in part to less reliance on trading
and investment banking), and less of a soft target for litigation. That
said, while JPMorgan's trading losses earlier this year highlight the
fact that no bank with a prop desk is ever completely safe, today's
valuation seems to undervalue not only the company's balance sheet and
array of businesses, but the quality of its management and growth
opportunities.
