Economic Judgement Day Is Coming... For The Bears

Affirmative. I have analyzed the data. Bank of America says UMB Financial could benefit from President Trump's economic policies. They project a $105 price target. That is a 16% upside. This is not some John Connor pipe dream; it's about making cold hard cash. Like my CPU this bank's credit quality is above average. No problemo for them.

Tariffs: I'll Be Back... With More Manufacturing Jobs

Trump wants tariffs to bring jobs back to the U.S. It is an uphill battle. But BofA sees a long term opportunity. "The bank has shown above average credit quality (near term defensibility) while President Trump's pro growth\u002Fre shoring agenda supports the high growth profile (longer term opportunity)," they say. They are not sending anyone to buy flowers and UMB's chances are looking good so far. Consider it a buy.

The Liquidity Profile: Come With Me If You Want to Live... Comfortably

UMB's credit performance and liquidity are strong. That is the key to survival and I think the bank is set for life. The shares should trade closer to 10x. Sentiment in the U.S. could act as a tailwind. It's like sending Reese back to protect Sarah Connor; preparation is key.

Prudent Risk Management: I Know Why You Cry But It Is Something I Can Never Do.

The analyst noted UMB's prudent risk management. The stock trades at a discount. That is the smart way. Bank stocks initially soared after Trump's election but the Invesco KBW Bank ETF is now lower. Clearly there is room for improvement.

Hasta La Vista Discount!: Get to the Chopper... And Buy This Stock!

UMB shares have struggled losing more than 19%. But this upgrade is a turning point. It is time to get to the chopper...and buy this stock. Remember the future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves but with Bank of America's recommendation the future looks brighter.
