Investment bank transformation makes it a steal.
Wells Fargo's quarter was terrific, but analysts fixated on net interest income missed the transformation. CEO Charlie Sharp is turning the bank from a bloated lender into a merchant bank, moving up the league tables in M&A and IPOs following the Goldman Sachs model. The stock sells at only 12 times earnings and is a steal.

Banks have multiple tailwinds, still cheap
Banks have quietly become new market leadership with staying power this time. Four tailwinds: (1) moderately higher short-term rates let banks charge borrowers more than they pay depositors, boosting earnings; (2) surprisingly strong consumer with healthy retail sales and tame delinquencies; (3) stupendous bond and stock issuance generating advisory fees, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley crushing it, plus $1.2 trillion in M&A in the first five months of the year; (4) lighter regulation under the current administration. Bank stocks are still inexpensive. JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo can go up much more before being considered even reasonably priced. Capital One benefits from higher-rate credit cards. Bank mergers could be an additional catalyst.

Avoid banks with private credit exposure
Private credit default rates hit a record 6%, nearly 10 times bank default rates, and banks have significant exposure to non-bank lenders on a non-recourse basis. Whalen expects banks will take losses when the AI correction inevitably hits, particularly naming JP Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, PNC, and Goldman Sachs as exposed.

"The private credit problems are likely to continue... The real question is what is the impact to the banks. The banks have exposure to private credit players but this is nothing like what we saw in 2008 or 2009... They have been so de-risked since the financial crisis they will be able to weather any storm that comes from private credit." The market is indiscriminately punishing the broader financial sector due to headlines about private credit funds gating redemptions. However, large depository banks are heavily regulated, over-capitalized, and lack direct exposure to the riskiest private loans, creating a mispricing opportunity to buy high-quality bank stocks on unwarranted contagion fears. LONG. Large-cap banks are a buy as they will survive the private credit shakeout and potentially gain market share as shadow banking retreats. If oil stays above $100 for 12 months, it could trigger a severe consumer recession, leading to broad credit card and auto loan defaults that would hurt traditional banks.
