GROWTH AND INCOME: US Bancorp
Market cap billions: $57.0
P/E ratio*: 13
Earnings growth**: 8%
Dividend yield: 5.1%
U.S. Bancorp is the sixth-largest commercial bank in the country, with conservative lending practices and a 5.1% yield. It was one of the few large banks to avoid the recent mortgage meltdown. And it certainly doesn't hurt that investment wizard Warren Buffett increased his stake in the company in the first quarter.
"It always makes me feel good when you see Buffett in a stock you own," said Blake Howells, director of equity research for Becker Capital Management.
