7 Things You Need to Know About BB&T Corporation (BBT) Bank

Foolish bottom line

BB&T isn’t huge, but it’s big enough to matter. And its ROA and ROE demonstrate the bank is skillfully using that size to its advantage, as well to the advantage of its shareholders. Past-year and year-to-date returns are solid, the bank pays a healthy dividend, and it’s even managed the impressive trick of growing its revenue at a better rate than two of the country’s biggest banks. All of this makes BB&T a bank worth further investigation, at the very least.
