Bank (Midwest) industry

Article Abstract:

The Midwestern banking industry has become more timely as of Jan 1997 and rankings for these stocks are expected to rise. Higher loan loss provisions and weaker commercial loan demand slowed Midwestern bank earnings growth in 1996, and loan loss provisions are expected to remain high in 1997. The prospects for these stocks for the next three to five years are reflected in their price levels, although several stocks are favorably ranked for 1997.

Article Abstract:

Midwestern banks will have good margins and growth in 1996, but not at the same level as 1995. Earnings gains will be steady with bank consolidation, improved asset quality, and higher productivity, along with lower premiums from the FDIC. Midwestern bank stocks are not timely for 1996, but there are exceptions, such as Star Banc, Northern Trust, and First Bank System. The returns for these stocks through 1998-2000 have more potential.

Bank (Midwest) industry

Article Abstract:

Prospects for Midwest bank stocks in 1995 are only fair, but projected double-digit earnings share increases for these banks over three to five years make them good long-term investment bets. Still, Fifth Third Bancorp, Norwest Corp and Star Banc are timely choices. In 1995, falling interest rates will bolster bank earnings, but declining yields for bank stocks and a slowing economy will put pressure on margins.
