Monday morning has greeted the Street on an optimistic note toward large banks, as Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) has upped its coverage on the banking sector to "attractive" from "neutral." Goldman went as far as to name some specific banks, including Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), which it upped to "buy."
Goldman believes that Wells Fargo's capital position is improving, with it eventually benefiting from its takeover of Wachovia. The brokerage stated that Wells Fargo purchased Wachovia at a "distressed price" and that will help its assets increase 70% from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2009.
