Goldman Sachs Is Cheap, Filthy Cheap, and It Had a Great Quarter

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 cheap business

Safe to say that Goldman Sachs (GS) really crushed it. The firm had a great quarter. At the headline level, Goldman posted GAAP EPS of $9.68. The street was looking for roughly $5.50. That’s not a misprint. Revenues landed at $10.78 billion. That number was good enough for year over year growth of 29.6%. That number was good enough to beat consensus view by almost $1.4 billion.

Digging In

Going through various business segments, some of these numbers are decent, some are just eye-popping. None are outright lousy. My eyes went right to trading. Sure, on the equity trading side, revenue grew “just” 10%, and for the past quarter (honestly), that’s not outstanding, but in fixed income, these guys nailed it. Fixed income revenue popped 49% to $2.5 billion. (Remember, JP Morgan (JPM) posted 32% growth for this line on Tuesday.)

Beyond trading, because I have an obvious interest there,

Fake COVID-19 news makes you want to treat yourself on the cheap

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 cheap business

People exposed to fake news during the already uncertain COVID-19 era are simultaneously compelled to treat themselves and to try to save money, according to new research from CU Boulder and the University of New Hampshire.

The findings are published in an upcoming edition of the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research.

Participants exposed to fake news said they felt more uncertainty about their lives. The researchers found this effect was compounded by the pandemic. It even occurred when researchers reminded participants that fake news exists.

The researchers then asked participants a series of questions about making hypothetical choices between premium or cost-effective food and grocery products.

“The finding that surprised us is that this uncertainty can cause people to feel a joint desire to save their money for a murky future and also to spend a little bit to make themselves feel better about

Is the IAG share price too cheap for ISA investors to ignore?

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 cheap business

It’s been a tough year for International Consolidated Airlines Group (LSE: IAG). Being part of the aviation industry, it has seen consumer demand fall through the floor since the end of Q1. Even with some national lockdown restrictions lifted, reports show that demand for air travel is nowhere near where it needs to be for airlines to be optimistic. As a result, the IAG share price sits below 100p, having started the year above 250p.

In the latest development, the boss of British Airways (owned by IAG) is leaving with immediate effect. Alex Cruz’s departure follows Willie Walsh announcing he’s stepping down as head of the group shortly. The IAG share price has been choppy in the aftermath of the Cruz news, with it closing down 4% yesterday.

2 Cheap Dividend Stocks You Can Buy Right Now

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 cheap business

Dividend income can be a great way to boost your portfolio’s value over the long term. Amid a recession, it can also be valuable source of cash flow at a time when returns may not be so strong. And in good times, it can pad your total returns.

California-based drugmaker Amgen has had a so-so year in 2020; its share price has remained relatively stagnant while the S&P 500 has risen by about 9%. But this is the type of stability that value investors like to see, especially in the middle of an economic recession. The company

Major retailers aren’t about to hand over all the shopping traffic to Amazon, just because it’s Prime Day.

The company’s plight has been brought to our attention again since the second wave of Covid-19 infections has been sweeping across the UK. This time, all of the UK’s Cineworld cinemas were closed in early October. But Cineworld is one of the world’s largest cinema operators. And late last year it was all set to buy out Canadian rival Cineplex in a $1.3bn deal. So there must be a recovery investment opportunity here, mustn’t there? Well, if you see

M&T Bank: A Cheap Valuation Sets Up The Stock To Bounce After Third Quarter Earnings (NYSE:MTB)

October 13, 2020 [email protected]_84 cheap business

Investment Thesis

Headquartered in Buffalo, New York, M&T Bank Corporation (MTB) is a $140 billion asset holding company and parent to M&T Bank. MTB has offices located throughout the Northeastern United States. Specifically, the bank has 785 branches located in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and a few other states.

While MTB is more of your classical “loans and deposits” type community banks, relative to super regional peers, it does have a strong wealth management presence associated with its Wilmington Trust business. While most other banks focus on growth first, I believe MTB is more focused on sound credit quality above all else. As one can see from the charts below (under “Credit Analysis”), the bank did quite well during the last recession in terms of credit pain.

As one can see from the valuation chart below, the current valuation (in terms of Price to Tangible

Why Foot Locker Stock Is the Cheap Way to Ride Nike Higher

October 13, 2020 [email protected]_84 cheap business

Cross-related business trends of one company often help other companies in their food chain. This definitely can be true in the world of retail and apparel, particularly in an age in which the retail apocalypse seems to have been sped up by years thanks to COVID-19.

According to BofA Securities, Foot Locker Inc. (NYSE: FL) should see its recovery continue. The firm raised its rating in a two-notch upgrade to Buy from Underperform and it lifted its price objective to $50 from $20. If the firm’s Robert F. Ohmes and Alexander Perry are correct, then Foot Locker just went from having over 40% potential downside to having almost 35% in potential total return upside, if its dividend is included.

The BofA team specified that Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE) product cycles are positioning Foot Locker well for the coming holiday sales trends. In fact, the
