Underperform, but only temporary. 5/3 has new management in many crucial divisions and has tremendous potential for growth. Gallup is starting to show 5/3 outperforming same-sized competitors. Look for 5/3 to start coming up after close of 2007.

Fifth Third Bancorp is acquiring 9 Atlanta branches from First Horizon National Corp (FHN). FITB is acquiring deposits, but not the loans from these branch banks. FHN keeps the loans.
FITB is also acquiring First Charter Corporation for $1 billion. The transaction is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2008.
FITB is rumored to be looking at NCC also. NCC has said it is looking for a buyer.
I think history will show that lenders who survive the current crisis are an excellent buy. Obviously, FITB shares that opinion. CEO and corporate officers share that opinion also as they continue to buy stock.

Anything related to financials has taken a beating in the last year - I believe the market has overshot on the down side at this point.

Large enough to withstand the credit BS. Plenty of open accounts to stay alive and Big Ben.

"Worst Possible Business Model
Minyanville Professor Bennet Sedacca is writing about the business model of Keycorp and other banks. Let's tune in.
More on KEY and Others
What could be the worst possible model?
When a company pays out its entire EPS in dividends and then goes to market with a 9% preferred. Then it RAISES the common dividend. Come on!! Then it announces deteriorating fundamentals. Who is it?
Keycorp (KEY), Fifth Third (FITB), Regions Financial(RF) and Wachovia (WB).
What should they be doing?
Cut the dividend, lay people off and sell common equity while they can. If not, it could be curtains."

Along with HBAN, this regional bank has a solid management group and will outperform over the long run.

Fifth Third has been oversold. They run a tighter ship than most banks but the stock price has been hit too hard. They will emerge stronger. From the current price levels it will be easy to outperform.

This is a well run super-regional bank that has managed their exposure to residential and commercial real estate losses well. There are still some pains to be felt short-term, but as those issues get resolved this stock is poised for huge gains.

Mgmt raised dividend in face of subprime debt crisis. Either inept or confident in their business-I believe the latter. Government's actions on liquidity, a shallow recession and maintaining the dividend will allow regional banks to recover a decent chunk of the market capitalization lost in the last 5 months

This has been undervalued for awhile, but the yield curve snapping back should go a long way.

Stock price of this Rodney Dangerfield of regional banks should slowly but steadily increase by 50% in next two years as its lack of flash becomes appreciated, and will generate solid, increasing dividends as well.
