In a report released today, Marty Mosby from Vining Sparks maintained a Buy rating on BNY Mellon (BK), with a price target of $55. The company’s shares opened today at $53.06.
Mosby observed:
“BK is the only one of our Large Cap U.S. Banks that we currently do not rate “Strong Buy”. Over the recent collapse in financial services valuations, BK outperformed the other two 10 percentage points, or more. Given what we believe to be temporary earnings headwinds at the other two Trust Banks we believe this investment rotation should begin to reverse through 2019, limiting BK ’s total return potential to its YOY growth in tangible book value plus its current dividend yield, about 7%.”
According to TipRanks.com, Mosby is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 12.0% and a 61.3% success rate. Mosby covers the Financial sector, focusing on stocks such as Fifth Third Bancorp, Regions Financial, and State Street Corp.
