Bank Earnings Pour In
The banking industry is on solid footing, and while Wells Fargo is creating negative headlines, the first quarter of 2018 was a good one for many financial institutions. Expanding revenue and net income, increased capital-return programs, solid returns on equity, and generally positive commentary, despite an increasingly competitive lending environment, were the norm. A narrowing of spreads on US Treasury instruments may pose a challenge to net interest margin expansion in the group, but there are other opportunities to capitalize on a surging LIBOR and the increasingly volatile equity market environment. All in, the performance in the first quarter of 2018 was “more good than bad” for the banks, and we continue to look for the right price to consider ideas, with many financial entities now trading well in excess of tangible book value per share.

Verint’s Big Move Puts It Ahead of the Market
We think Verint Systems is getting a bad rap about its non-GAAP reporting. Operating cash flow at the company is tremendous, and the market may finally be coming around to recognizing its undervalued nature.
