They could be the most stable banks out there.. but that doesn't mean that there is further room for dividend growth. The thing I don’t like about both banks is the high DPR (especially USB).

Their % Expense/Operating Revenue over the last 5 years ranged from a low of 44.3% in 2005 to a high of 49.6% in 2007. <br/><br/>For comps over the same period consider:<br/>BAC 47.9%-56.0%<br/>JPM 58.6%-97.7%<br/>C 72.2%-87.3%<br/>WFC 58.2%-64.8%<br/><br/>Best Wishes,<br/>D4L Anon: I think USB is a very effeciently run bank with a low cost structure.
