U.S. Bancorp: Buy the Bank on a Pullback - Cheap, Cash-Generative, and Yielding 3%
U.S. Bancorp (USB) looks like a pragmatic value buy: a $99.6B market cap bank trading at ~13x earnings and 1.66x book, growing loans, and paying a $2.08 annual dividend (3%+ yield). Initiate a long position on a controlled pullback; target a re-rating to a higher P/B while collecting yield along the way.
