Argentina's Banco Macro (NYSE:BMA)
has already had a pretty solid year, with the shares up 26% over the
last 12 months on improving prospects for Argentina's economy. In fact,
Banco Macro has been something of a standout, as Galicia (NASDAQ:GGAL) has climbed about 15% and BBVA Francs (NYSE:BFR) has fallen more than 15% over the same time period. Even so, better things could still be ahead.
Banco
Macro is the third-largest private bank in Argentina and conservatively
run, leaving the company with a good credit position and ample capital
and liquidity to benefit from the improving Argentine economy. While I
do expect Banco Macro's ROE to decline (due in large part to the
distortions created by inflation), I believe the company can post
double-digit earnings growth. If that's a reasonable expectation, a fair
value of close to $80 is in play.
