Popular, Inc. (BPOP)

CAPS Rating:
***

A diversified, publicly owned bank holding company operates four principal businesses or operating segments: Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, Banco Popular North America, Popular Financial Holdings and EVERTEC.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The Hispanic population is the fastest growing segment of the U.S., and as a community bank BPOP is "tailored" well to this part of the fabric of America.

Popular sold to GS so now the trouble seems to be they had to do it 6 to 8 months early. Not a good sign. Slack said Popular might have to raise new capital early in 2009, but not because of deterioration in credit quality. Instead the bank could need new cash as $850 million of debt matures during the first half of 2009. It is only 3rd quarter of 2008.

This is at a 52 week low.
