Sallie Mae Is Back in Shape - Barrons.com

, Is a complex, one-of-a-kind financial company, with an attractive business mix that involves holding, originating and servicing student loans. The stock (ticker: SLM) looks inexpensive, trading around 12—less than seven times projected 2010 profit of $1.80 a share, and 7.7 times estimated 2011 profit of $1.56 a share.

The 2011 forecast is a better measure of the company's earnings power because this year's results have been boosted by several one-time gains. Still, SLM has one of the lowest forward price/earnings ratios in the Standard & Poor's 500.

Next year's earnings are expected to increase over an underlying figure for 2010 of around $1.05 a share, based on lower credit losses on the company's $35 billion portfolio of student loans that lack a government guarantee, reduced operating expenses and the financial benefits from a $28 billion purchase of government student loans from (C) that closes in the current quarter. The company aims to cut its annual operating expenses by $300 million, to a rate of $1 billion, by late 2011.
