Standard Bank looks very cheap....Standard Bank is far from a “quality” company, and they arguably have several structural headwinds over the next several years. Nevertheless, the company seems to be trading at a discount.
Standard bank suffered a +/- 55% reduction in their annual earnings per share from 2018 – 2020. This has resulted in the annual debt to EBITDA more than doubling from 2019 to 2020.
The price to book ratio is trading at 1.19 which is comparable to where it was at the height of the Global Financial Crisis in 2009.
Standard Bank has flagged higher earns alongside a brighter outlook for earnings growth. Standard Bank has announced that its half year earnings in 2021 was x3 that of the first half of 2020.
All things considered, it appears to be cheap with a lot of the bad news already having been priced in. The share price has yet to recover to where it was before covid struck. It looks like a good entry point into a cheap company that just needs to do the basics right.
Lets see how it pans out.

Bank of AmericaLooks like we are at a higher high on the weekly and daily timeframes. Bank of America is a nice safe stock in my eyes. Although we are in a season where alot of shopping will go on, I can see this being bullish for banks and other holiday related tickers. Bank of America holds a high position in many prominent portfolios including my Uncle Buffet's. I want to see if price can continue trading above the 20 and 50 ema. Say if there is a pullback i'd at least feel that a 38% is realistic on the daily timeframe. If it surprisingly pasts that support level, price could reach the support that was created back in July of this year. Let's see what happens. Alot of credit cards will be swiped this season and for swipe a BAC customer pays, BAC will charge a surcharge to the business for every transaction that is made. Looking forward to a nice but slow ride. Good luck!
