This bank has been growing aggressively by buying other banks and increasing its commercial loan portfolio for several years. It remains a candidate for an even larger acquirer like the Royal Bank of Scotland, which has been a rumored acquirer several times with attendant run ups of SOV's price. In each instance the rumor was not substantiated and in fact reliably refuted on each occasion. Nevertheless RBS or another bank may well make a bid. The takeout will likely be $30-35 according to Ryan Beck. Was this user's rating of 'SOV' helpful to you? Currently:   1 said yes (of 1 -- 100.00%)

Laurie Hunsicker chief strategist at FBR loves this stock. It is down considerably from its high this year. It is unusual in that it provides guidance out to 2005 when it anticipates earnings of $2 per share. It could be acquired by number of major banks. It trades at a discuount to its peers and is moving towards converting to a bank charter from a thrift charter. Was this user's rating of 'SOV' helpful to you?
