Another TARP bank but with something different. A while back the CEO was quoted about how the other banks in the this were out of control with options, bonuses and salaries. His comments impressed me and his overall attitude shows that he is thinking about the business and shareholders. Quite refreshing.

What money they borrowed or force to take from TARP wasn't enough to make the top 15 Bad Boy list which speaks pretty good about their numbers. Speaking of which, financially, they look pretty good all things considered and I suspect they return the TARP funds fairly quick

Some regional banks are going to underperform for a while as they continue to deal with asset quality.

Strong balance sheet with insider buying from mid 30's- 20's price range. Dividend yield and diversified services create an added plus,with slingshot potiential.

Unlike many of its peers, WL has a strong balance sheet with very little long term debt. Revenue up considerably last quarter while maintaining an 8% return on investment. Significant insider purchases last fall at about 25 dollars. Currently trading at 20 bucks while it remains over 60% institutionally owned.

Someday, the market will forgive the financial sector, and when it does, WL's valuation should soar. WL is virtually immune from the sub-prime crises and is very well diversified in terms of services. By catering to the well-to-do, look for earnings to outstrip competitors as the market begins to recover.

Solid international wealth management and banking firm. Healty ROE of 16.15%. Excellent debt/equity ratio of 1.91. Respectable revenue/share of 2.64. Dividend yielding 4.2%. While this stock has plunged from the $46/share range to as low as the upper $20's/share, the company has fallen victim to the "guilty by association theory". Other financial institution's woes have dragged down the value of banking industry stocks by virtue of relationship in a business sector. Wilmington Trust has managed their credit portfolio in an excellent manner, and in fact, boasts one of the better performing loan loss estimates in its class. That coupled with the fact that Wilmington Trust is not heavily involved in the "credit card" business, postures them in an excellent position when the credit crunch eases. A robust dividend yield of 4.20% is indicative of this company's rich history in providing positive results. Its agressive growth plan includes not only the addition of a internet banking platform, but continued international expansion of its corporate client services business. The addition of Family Office services is sure to contribute significantly to this company's growth. At $33 +/- per share, Wilmington Trust is substantially undervalued. Look for Wilmington Trust to outperform over the next 2 to 4 years after the current credit crisis eases.

Year after year this regional bank is rumored to be bought out. In the meantime it pays a great dividend and continues to appreciate. When the buyout occurs, perhaps within the year, this bank stock will shoot the moon.
