I predict that Countrywide stock will double in the next one to two years as they show the nation how they were not only capable of weathering the credit crunch storm but were also capable of growing their business during the most difficult time in the companies history!

Do you think its reasonable that Bank of Americas’ share price increased after the acquisition of Countrywide?

It would be great if you can update this post with new data now that the deal is real!

I believe the critics are underestimating the assets and strengh of Countrywide. I predict that Countrywide stock will double in the next one to two years as they show the nation how they were not only capable of weathering the credit crunch storm but were also capable of growing their business during the most difficult time in the companies history!! Go Countrywide!!! and thank you for helping one out of seven families!!

There is no truth to the BofA acquiring Countrywide rumor. BofA was in talks with Countrywide to start a joint venture with BofA’s mortgage to Division to operate it for BofA, and split the profit since BofA could not run it successfully despite being a banking powerhouse. BofA also told Countrywide if word gets out that that they are seeking their assitance the deal is off.
It is rumored Angelo Mozillo himself leaked the rumor becasue in constant stock sale mode to keep the price of the stock high.
Countrywide is falling apart with a 400% increase in defaults, a salesforce on the brink of a mutiny from uncompetitive rates, an increasing rigid underwriting approach and overly comservative appraisal service.
No one is buying Countywide. Buy Puts or the short stock.

why would BOA want to aquire more business in a region where forclosures are at an all time high??? Countrywide would certainly walk away with the last laugh!

When Countrywide converted its charter from a national bank to a federal savings bank on March 12, did it effectively derail B of A’s merger attempt? My logic is that when Countrywide converted, it effectively became a “bank” rather than simply a mortgage lender and thus prohibiting the B of A acquisition because of the 10% U.S. share of deposits restriction you have cited.

For this analysis, we identified specific pages on the Bank of America and Countrywide websites that contained information about home loans products (mortgage, refinance, and home equity). Any person who visited any of those pages was then tagged as a home loans “prospect.” We wanted to make sure our comparison was “apples-to-apples,” and it would not have been an accurate view to overlap all visitors to both sites, as Bank of America has many online bankers on its site who are not in-market for home loans products.

As to your second question about why, we think the regional data provides some insight to this. In many states there was a wide margin between market share of the two, especially those dominated by Bank of America. This division of share by region reveals that both competitors have adopted different strategies to marketing their home loans products, thus the division of online prospects.

Can you comment on how you gathered the data for the BA and Countrywide visitors? It would seem to
me that if one was shopping for a loan, you’d go to multiple sources. In which case, there should be a
high likelihood that there would be overlap. How do you explain it?
