Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 62 days.
The thesis — published July 17, 2025
After earnings the stock fell sharply even though most investors remain upbeat. The bank earned $7.1B last quarter, expects higher interest income, and plans to restart share buybacks. Shares trade for less than the value of their net assets, so if long-term rates rise again the valuation could improve. Heavy trading shows big investors buying the dip, so a bounce toward $49-$50 in the next three months looks likely.
Primary drivers
- Strong quarterly profit and planned buybacks should draw buyers
- Very oversold level plus upbeat mood hints the drop may reverse
- Rising long-term rates would boost the bank’s interest income
- Volume 30 percent above normal shows large investors stepping in
