Best Regional Banks Stocks
Local + regional deposit-taking banks. Quality varies enormously by management and credit discipline; most are commodities. The best regionals compound at 12-15% for decades - but the failures are total.
Industry leader
ING Bank Slaski S.A. ING.WA
Buffett-Fit: 88/100
What drives this industry
Regional bank quality is best measured by ROE + loan-loss history + capital ratios. Sustained ROE above 12% across a full credit cycle is the screen - names like M&T Bank, First Republic (before SVB), Glacier Bancorp built compounder records that way. Buffett's rule: never own a bank you wouldn't deposit money at.
