Q: When comparing SAN to JPM, I was surprised to see that SAN-ADR significantly outperformed JPM over 5, 3 , 1 years and YTD. I did not compare appreciation in shares of SAN in €. Notwithstanding remarkable appreciation in share value YTD, SAN still trades at below market multiples in its industry. Having used SAN’s services (business and personal) I find this bank to be well-run, and customer focused, far superior to Barclays , Lloyds et al . Am I missing something that justifies the low valuation? If not, do you think SAN is a good investment that could also be a reasonably good diversifier? .

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
SAN has been on a positive run this year hitting a new high. I know you do not follow European Banks. However any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Apparently they are selling their Polish Bank. So do you think all the good news has been baked in? Do you think it has any more up side or will it plateau soon and maybe retreat? Thanks for your insights!
