Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (ADR) (BBV)

Large Spanish bank with $70 billon plus market cap. Large presence in Latin America, particularly Mexico. Good chance of 15% growth with approx. 3% dividend. Good stable European bank, with stong ties in a growing market.

I think they will outperform in the long run, but I think they'll be kept down in the Spanish housing mess for a while before that happens.

Second largest bank in Spain, it is also operated in Latin America, US and soon in China. With a dividend 4.3%, PEG 0.75, no long-term debt, and 15% EPS growth, this should be a sure bet.

Good bank in a good area

Have a look at my overall picks - you will see that I like banks.

long term picl

Decent Dividend and good P/E. Currently at 52 week low due to Spanish housing scare.

huge bank that stayed out of the subprime mess. Price has been driven down by overall stress in the financial market. Hence, the company is undervalued.

BBV is expanding their business activities in high growth economic zones like latin america. They are positioned as ¨retail banking kings¨with low risk assumptions and high yield investments. Perhaps, they are not really sophisticated trading lovers, but their business model really works...

trying a couple experiments, which hopefully wont mess up my whole portfolio. trying to follow the downtrend.

Good entry point.

Stable Spanish bank. Seems unscathed or less impacted by the financials collpase.

Affected by the global financial crisis for the short term. The long term may have significantly better performance though - I'll let you know in a few months.

Good long-term play on Latin American finance on a company with a pretty good and steady value.

paid out a dividend of $0.10

Excluding the 19 biggest banks that underwent the stress test, banks with nonperforming loans above 5% had combined deposits of $193 billion, according to Bloomberg data.

This is a good bank with presence already in emerging markets, and now buying banks in US

Deflation in Spain for past 3 months. They had a bigger real estate bubble than the US..
