Legendary investor, fund manager and PIMCO co-founder Bill Gross sees extraordinary long-term value in regional banks.
In a tweet posted on Oct. 30, Gross said he sees regional bank stocks as a “falling knife” that “hasn't hit ground yet“.
Back in April, the Bond King had bought four beaten-down regional bank stocks trading at 60% to book value:
Gross sold off 80% of that holding in July making “mucho bucks” on them.
The billionaire has again indicated an appetite for regional banks, saying he would be “waiting just a little bit more to own some of these at 60% book and 7% yields.”
