    By Bill Edson - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: CMA, FRC, USB, WFC

    I had thought that U.S. Bancorp's (NYSE: USB) impressive run over the past few years would finally come to an end with the close of 2012. Well, I was wrong, and in some ways its first quarter income, while lacking (barely) the double digit growth to which we had become accustomed, was as impressive as any.

    For the first quarter, U.S. Bank reported profits of $1.43 more »

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CLWR, CMA, KEY, WHR

    Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is one of the smart money’s favorite stocks, and despite its selloff in recent months, it was still one of the most popular investments among the managers we watch heading into 2013. Yes, AIG overtook Apple at the end of last year—in terms of short-term appreciative performance and popularity—but it’s still worth pointing out which hedge fund managers hold Apple in their portfolios more »

  • A Tour Of 4 Midwestern Regional Banks

    By Maxwell Fisher - March 14, 2013 | Tickers: CMA, FITB, FMER, HBAN

    Cincinnati based Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) has a well-earned reputation as a conservative, well run institution. Despite having much of its asset base in two of the states (Michigan and Florida) most devastated in last decade's recession, Fifth Third has only been unprofitable one year in the last twenty, in 2008. In contrast, 2012 proved that the roughly $120 billion asset bank is back to its pre-recession levels more »

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 27, 2012 | Tickers: CMA, USB, WFC

    Warren Buffett is one of the most well-respected money managers in history, so, when his Berkshire Hathaway has a large position in a company, it is generally worth taking note. US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) is one such position. It is one of the largest positions in Buffett’s portfolio. As of December 31, 2011, Berkshire Hathaway had $1.9 billion invested in this stock.

    US Bancorp is also quite popular more »

  • Don’t Jump Yet, Comerica Investors

    By Tim Brugger - April 17, 2012 | Tickers: C, CMA, WFC

    It’s hard to imagine a 26% jump in earnings year-over-year could be anything but good news. But a closer look into Comerica’s (NYSE: CMA) recently announced Q1 financial results exposes a few less-than-desirable factoids for the commercial lender.

    On the upside of course is the jump in earnings – to $130 million from $103 million in Q1 of 2011. That equates to $0.66 a share vs. $0.57 more »
