Bulls: Reasons to Buy

Conservative and diversified portfolio

SunTrust’s loan portfolio is relatively conservative and well diversified. The firm focuses only on high-grade commercial and consumer credits.

More conservative attitude regarding underwriting that its peers

SunTrust has taken a more conservative attitude regarding underwriting than its peers. Its 10-year average charge-offs are about half of those of its peer banks.

SunTrust is a ripe acquisition target

Located in the fast-growing, attractive, market of the Southeast, SunTrust could make a ripe acquisition target for a company looking to expand into that area.

Bears: Reasons to Sell

Adversely affected by current interest rates

Given the current interest rate environment, SunTrust’s in-store, deposit-gathering branch expansion will likely yield little material benefit.

Credit derioration hurts their bottom line

As credit deteriorates, SunTrust will need to rebuild its reserves, hurting the bottom line. This is made particularly true given its low allowance for loan losses (only .90% of total loans).

Home Equity Portfolio -

$12.5b showing signs of distress and deteriorating very fast
