On CNBC’s “Halftime Report Final Trades,” Kourtney Gibson of Loop Capital Markets chose Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS).
“It’s trading about 1.15 times book. Goldman doesn’t go below book value,” Gibson stated. She added that the bank “is not getting credit for their asset and wealth management businesses.”
Although the bank’s first quarter is “going to look terrible for investment,” the rest of its business “is why you own Goldman Sachs,” Gibson said.
Rob Sechan of New Edge Capital Group said that JPMorgan Chase & Co’s (NYSE:JPM) quarterly results showed healthy deposit growth, while net interest income and capital market revenues were higher than expected and expenses were in-line. He recommended to “buy this stock on the dip.”
