Hudson City Bancorp is a very conservatively run bank holding company that focuses on bread and butter lending in the metropolitan New York area. How conservatively run is this bank? They actually keep on their books the loans they originate. This means that they have to extra picky about loan quality. In fact, they have increased their cash position and earnings and even increased their dividend last quarter. That's nothing short of amazing in this environment. The financials will rally once this deal is approved and I'm putting money behind one of the best managed.

Cramer Touts Hudson City Bancorp

On Wednesday’s Mad Money, Jim Cramer invited the CEO of Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK) Ron Hermance to discuss the company’s third quarter results. The results were an example of the consistency as the regional bank reported EPS of $.27, which was one cent better than expectations and two cents better than last year’s results. Hudson City Bancorp is regarded as one of the most conservatively managed banks in the market, a trait which seems to have been counted against them in the rally of the last 7-plus months.

Hudson City and Wells Fargo - Two Attractive Picks

Have all banks run amok? Not quite. I’ve gone out on a limb lately and recommended a couple of banks in the advisory I edit, Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter.

Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK) owns and operates 127 savings bank branches in northern New Jersey and New York City. The bank specializes in writing jumbo mortgages in the more affluent counties of New York and New Jersey. High loan standards and the avoidance of the sub-prime market have led to Hudson City’s strong balance sheet and low mortgage defaults.

A bank stock that did not take TARP money, did not issue stock and in fact bought back stock. That's impressive!

Filed under: Management, Newsletters, Stocks to Buy, Housing, Recession

"Hudson City Bancorp (NASDAQ: HCBK) is a fortress of safety with plenty of upside potential," says value investor Nathan Slaughter.

In his Half-Priced Stocks, he explains, "The 140-year old bank is a classic example of the tortoise and hare fable. Its slower, measured approach has paid off handsomely and keptit at arms length from the problems plaguing other banks."

<>"Hudson City manages a network of 130 bank branches spread throughout affluent regions of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. At last count, the firm had ove...
