Diamond Hill Large Cap Strategy made the following comment about Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE:TFC) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:
"Another one of our bank holdings, Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE:TFC), was also under pressure during this time. Truist, while not considered a “money center,” is a large, super-regional bank with an attractive Southeastern US footprint that has added value to the communities it serves via its extensive branch network and lending franchises. Truist also owns the fifth largest insurance brokerage in the US, which it recently sold a portion of for roughly $3 billion. While the company has meaningful unrealized losses in its securities portfolio, it also has other assets on the balance sheet that we believe are undervalued. Truist has a smaller percent of uninsured deposits (46%) relative to some of the regional banks that have come under the most pressure, and we believe it has a relatively stickier deposit base. Weighing all of this, we are comfortable with our current position in Truist and believe there is a significant amount of pessimism baked into its current share price."
