barrons2	David Konrad, a banking analyst at Keefe, is partial to Fifth Third, National City and Sovereign. He notes that Fifth Third, whose shares now trade around 13, has a valuable processing business that could be worth half its market value. This unit could be sold to boost capital.	Love	July 19, 2008

barrons2	Cincinnati-based bank Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), which recently said it will slash its dividend by 66% and sell $1 billion in convertible preferred stock to shore up its balance sheet, has declined to 10 from 69. Having broken through a 10-year support of 30, the stock may be experiencing a final "capitulation" phase and could fall another 50%, Yamada says.	Love	June 28, 2008

Guest	The exact form of the cash payout isn't that important. It's the willingness to part with hard cash that counts. So I'd put Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) in this category. The company just announced it would pay out a $1,400 profit-sharing bonus to every employee. That's a huge announcement from a former banking-sector star that's been down for a long time. It's also a reason the shares fell just 3% during the selloff. Shares, which trade at $39.96 today, peaked just below $70 in April 2002.	Love	March 14, 2007

Barrons	Fifth Third has gone from a revered darling of Wall Street to a bank that "just two of the score of analysts following it rate the regional bank's shares a Buy..." This could be a contrarian's dream. Management changes should help to reinvigorate operations....According to Citigroup analyst Keith Horowitz, a rare brokerage-firm fan, Fifth Third was "under-earning" in recent years relative to its potential. Now, with "the underlying revenue-growth drivers still very strong," analysts' earnings estimates are likely to rise. Horowitz calls Fifth Third "one of the better values in regional banks."
