Although bank stock investors are wading through a period of uncertainty and jittery sentiment, Oppenheimer has a positive outlook on certain stocks. Oppenheimer named several megabanks as winners of the recovering industry, recommending Citigroup , Goldman Sachs , Bank of America , Jefferies Financial , JPMorgan Chase , Morgan Stanley and U.S. Bancorp . These stocks are trading at a 47% relative P/E multiple on a forward basis and are "significantly undervalued," according to the firm. Jefferies and JPMorgan are the two gainers, trading higher by 12.7% and 8.5% this year, respectively. Oppenheimer on Tuesday trimmed its price target on Bank of America by $1 to $48 and maintained its outperform rating.
