Should I Buy Huntington Bankshares (HBAN)? Finance YouTuber Analysis

The YouTuber suggests Huntington Bankshares, noting its limited impact from recent market events and low commercial property loan exposure (13.5%). Its valuation at 1.08 times Book value is among the lowest in the group, representing a 20% discount from its 2022 valuation.

“Huntington Bank shares ticker HBA in wasn't affected as much by the crash last week it only sold off about 7.7% on the news but it clawed back most of that by the end of the week this is another small bank with just 13.5% of that 121 billion loan portfolio in commercial property there's no trouble here unless the selloff starts hitting residential loans as well along with regions the valuation here is among the lowest in the group at 1.08 times Book value but notice the stock only got up to about 1.36 times in 2022 so while the valuation looks lower here it's still only about a 20% discount”

Hogue recommends Huntington Bank shares, explaining that financial institutions like banks profit from increasing interest rates. This is because they can maintain low rates on deposits while charging more for loans, thereby boosting their margins.

“And here in this group I still like shares of Wells Fargo ticker WFC as well as Huntington Bank shares ticker HBA.”
