Value Plays Among the Thrift Stocks
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- An annual ranking of thrift holding companies features a number of thinly-traded names, but digging a bit further into the data reveals plenty of respectable value plays.
Malaga Financial (MLGF) of Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., came in as the top performer in SNL Financial's yearly evaluation, which uses weighted scores derived from the metrics in the chart below to compare the largest 100 publicly traded thrifts. SNL defines a thrift as a holding company whose main subsidiary is either a savings bank or savings and loan association, and inclusion on the list is based on total assets for the year ended March 31.SNL Financial's Top 10 Thrift Holding Companies
