Mike Mayo has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight US Bancorp’s strategic positioning and financial performance. The company has demonstrated strong operational leverage, which has positively impacted its earnings, despite some concerns about net interest income growth. Mayo notes that US Bancorp is on track to meet its key targets for 2025, driven by stable core costs and improved efficiency, which are expected to result in a return on equity in the high teens.
However, Mayo also points out some challenges, such as the potential for slower revenue growth and a decline in net interest margin, which could affect long-term profitability. Despite these concerns, the anticipated improvement in operational efficiency and the strategic focus on meeting medium-term targets support the Buy rating. Mayo acknowledges that while there are long-term uncertainties, the current financial metrics and strategic initiatives provide a solid foundation for future growth.
