Warren Buffett has reduced his bank stock holdings but still maintains significant investments in Bank of America and Ally Financial. Bank of America represents a $34 billion stake, while Ally Financial is valued at over $1 billion. Bank of America is a large, profitable bank with a strong deposit base and stable charge-off rates. It has successfully created shareholder value through growth and stock buybacks, despite facing pressure on interest margins. Ally Financial, primarily an auto lender, has diversified into a full-service online bank. It offers higher yields on loans and could benefit from falling interest rates. However, it faces concerns over rising charge-offs, impacting its recent stock performance.
