It's hard to call Comerica (CMA)
cheap, but bank investors want growth, and this very asset-sensitive,
C&I-focused lender is likely to produce a lot of it in the coming
years relative to its peers. Although I don't really expect superior
loan growth from Comerica, the combination of higher net interest
margins, higher fee income, better expense leverage, benign credit, and
lower taxes can be a powerful one, and Comerica should generate
attractive growth in the coming years (with a big jump between 2017 and
2018). Even though I understand that investors will pay up for growth, I
struggle to understand paying such a high premium for Comerica, and
there are several other banks I'd consider before this one at today's
prices.
