In its report, The Bull Market Report wrote: "Valley National Bancorp is a conservatively run business, as evidenced by a comparison to its peers. The firm's non-performing assets as a percentage of assets is about half of its peers. At the same time, reserves on a percentage basis run much higher. Meanwhile, performance-wise the bank doesn't lose a step. The company's return on average assets is in line with the peer average, while the return on average equity greatly outshines that of its rivals. The stock trades at a premium to its peers because of this, but investors get a company that doesn't run great risks and still generates a ROE of 23% (in 2004) and a peer-beating stock yield."
In its coverage, The Bull Market Report looked at the following topics, among others:
-- Does Goldman Sachs have the catalysts to re-attain its
high hit earlier this year?
-- Why did Citigroup receive such a tepid response to the
announcement of its growth plans?
-- Does Valley National Bancorp look like a takeout candidate
in 2006?
-- Why is BlackRock one of PNC's strongest assets?
