On CAPS, 88% of the 411 members who have rated Synovus believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, All-Star fukra, succinctly summed up the Synovus bull case for our community:

This one could work out spectacularly well -- or implode badly. However, with the economy reviving, and the south-east being one of the more densely populated regions of the country -- any uptick in home building/buying/small business activity will have a giant positive impact to this small bank in terms of mortgage and small business loans. With the economy almost certainly looking to heat up, this is a calculated risk I am willing to take.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Synovus may not be your top choice.
