7 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

In the current market session, Bank of America Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) stock price is at $44.03, after a 0.43% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 10.48%, and in the past year, by 14.06%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748469619_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Bank of America P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Bank of America has a better P/E ratio of 13.2 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 12.44 of the Banks industry. Ideally, one might believe that Bank of America Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748469619_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Payments startup Airwallex<a href="https://www.airwallex.com/newsroom/airwallex-raises-usd300-million-at-a-usd6-2-billion-valuation-to-build-the-future-of-global-banking"> announced</a> Wednesday that it secured a new $300 million funding round, pushing its valuation to $6.2 billion.
Founded in 2015, Airwallex has grown into a global player by helping businesses send, receive, and manage international payments at scale, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/fintech-airwallex-valued-over-6-billion-latest-funding-round-2025-05-21/">Reuters</a> reports. With a network spanning more than 150 countries, the company now reports over $1.2 billion in total funding, with investors of the latest round including major names like DST Global, Square Peg, Lone Pine Capital, and Blackbird.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Growth Amid Industry Slowdown</h2>
While fintech startups exploded in valuation post-pandemic, many are now facing investor fatigue. According to Reuters, persistently high interest rates, recession concerns, and geopolitical volatility have forced many firms to delay fundraising or accept lower terms.
Airwallex has bucked that trend since its 11% increase in valuation from the previous round in 2022 is a signal of both operational strength and investor confidence. The company now counts industry giants like Shein, Qantas, and Xero among its client base, Reuters says.
CEO Jack Zhang told Reuters that more than 70% of the company's net revenue now comes from online payment processing and spend management, rather than just cross-border infrastructure.
The diversification strategy appears to be paying off. Zhang emphasized in the company&#8217;s announcement that Airwallex is no longer just a cross-border payments solution, but a broader financial operating system for modern businesses.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
&#8220;The global financial system wasn't built for today's borderless economy,&#8221; Zhang said. &#8220;Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that's slow, costly, and fragmented. At Airwallex, we're building a new foundation for the global economy – one that's fast, seamless, and built for scale. This investment marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine global banking, and to empower businesses everywhere to grow without limits.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding Global Footprint With U.S. And Asia Focus</h2>
Airwallex is also doubling down on global expansion. The company said it opened its U.S. headquarters in San Francisco last year and recently opened new offices in New York, Toronto, and Paris. According to Reuters, the startup is joining other payment providers competing with major players like JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>).
In addition to its growing presence in North America, Airwallex is targeting Japan, South Korea, and Latin America as core areas for future growth. With a global headquarters now based in Singapore, the company is positioning itself as a truly borderless platform for modern business finance, Reuters says.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Riding A New Wave Of Fintech Infrastructure</h2>
Airwallex said it developed a proprietary global infrastructure designed to modernize how businesses move money across borders. By building direct connections to local clearing systems and card networks, the company has created a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional banking rails. Most of the company&#8217;s transactions are completed within hours, with a majority processed instantly.
With tools that span global business accounts, FX, spend management, and embedded finance APIs, Airwallex is positioning itself as the operating system for modern businesses. With the new funding, Airwallex said in its funding announcement that it is now preparing for its next phase: deeper integration, bigger partnerships, and an even broader global footprint.&nbsp;

Behind the Scenes of Bank of America's Latest Options Trends

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to add more context on the move in bond yields.
Long-term U.S. bond yields spiked last week to levels not seen since late 2023, after President Donald Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Tax Bill" was passed in the Republican-controlled House. The yield on 30-year Treasuries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45600354/trumps-big-tax-bill-clears-the-house-30-year-yields-jump-to-5-15-as-bond-market-freaks">broke above the key 5% level</a>, climbing as high as 5.15% on May 22, on investor concerns about ballooning deficits and the long-term risks of the country's mounting indebtedness.
To be sure, yields have retreated somewhat since then thanks to easing trade tensions after the president paused a move to slap 50% tariffs on Europe. A global yield decline in response to Japan's move to cut long-term debt issuance also helped.
Yet, according to&nbsp;Lawrence McDonald, founder of the Bear Traps Report, it's too soon to take comfort.
On Monday, McDonald fired off a blunt warning on X, about the potential catastrophic consequences of an extended surge in bond yields on the financial sector.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Smoking In The Dynamite Shed&#8217;</h3>
"Washington – They are smoking in the dynamite shed," he wrote, urging investors to prepare for a world with 5% or even 5.5% yields on 10-year Treasuries. Ten-year yields peaked at 4.63% on May 22, and last topped 5% in October 2023.
&#8220;There is a price for higher for longer – it&#8217;s NOT free. Interest rates up, bond prices down,&#8221; McDonald said in an accompanying post on X, pointing to billions of dollars in bond losses faced by Japanese insurance firms.
McDonald also highlighted a policy shift floated by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: the possible reduction of the Supplementary Leverage Ratio, a key regulatory capital rule for large banks.
"Bessent&#8217;s move toward lowering the SLR&#8230; reeks of financial repression," McDonald said. Loosening the SLR would allow banks to load up on more Treasuries with less capital, possibly papering over demand issues but at the cost of financial stability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Regional Banks Are More Interest-Rate Sensitive</h3>
The surge in yields has created winners and losers within the banking sector—and the divide is stark. In a follow-up comment, McDonald highlighted a striking divergence between large-cap financials and regional lenders.
"Who is wearing the interest rate risk? Who doesn't have the hedges on? It's pretty clear."
The interest-rate risks are once again squarely on the shoulders of banks—especially smaller ones.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>)—dominated by financial behemoths like&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;&amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),&nbsp;Goldman Sachs Group Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)—has been up 30% since January 2022.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) is down 21%, a gap that McDonald says you'd need to "look far and wide historically to find&#8230; outside some kind of crisis."
McDonald's comments also echo lessons of the March 2023 banking crisis, when Silicon Valley Bank&#8217;s failure exposed the danger of unhedged interest rate exposure. That crisis erupted after SVB sold long-term Treasuries at a loss to raise liquidity, prompting a wave of withdrawals.
The aftermath saw federal regulators step in with extraordinary support measures, including the Bank Term Funding Program.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Steep Yield Curve Lifts Big Banks, Sinks Regionals—Here's Why</h3>
Higher Treasury yields impact banks differently based on their size, funding structures and asset-liability profiles. 
As the yield curve steepens, large banks gain from wider net interest margins, stronger trading revenue and diversified income streams.
Since Trump&#8217;s election victory in November 2024, the 30-year and 2-year Treasury spread has widened from 30 to 100 basis points, helping boost large-cap financials.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) has outperformed the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) by 20% during the same period. 
For regional banks, higher short-term funding costs, long-duration asset losses and weaker hedging strategies are eroding profitability. Many smaller lenders remain exposed to the same vulnerabilities that triggered the 2023 bank failures. 
In this environment, a steeper curve is more of a risk signal than a recovery story for America's regional banking industry.

Trump May Be 'Smoking In The Dynamite Shed' With The Big, Beautiful Bill Pressuring Yields Higher (UPDATED)

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) is trading at $2,654.33, having increased by 0.77% over the past 24 hours. The token grew 1.95% over the week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-ethereum">and has surged 48.44% over the month</a>.&nbsp;
The growth comes on the back of Ethereum's milestone, as it crossed Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) by market cap, while ETH Co-founder makes a large transfer.&nbsp;
ETH reached a market cap of $327.82 billion, which is higher than Bank of America&#8217;s market cap of $326.20 billion. Bank of America has existed for more than a century, yet Ethereum has outpaced it within a decade, giving a boost to investors' confidence, and a strong sign that crypto is surpassing traditional finance on more than just technical grounds.

The Ethereum network has completed the Pectra upgrade that doubled the capacity of its layer-2 solutions. The upgrade improved validator tools, as well as smart wallets, which make products in the Ethereum ecosystem easier to use.
Stripe has integrated Ethereum-based stablecoin accounts, enabling users in more than 100 countries to receive, send, and store assets like USDC. Ethereum has the potential to become the global infrastructure for decentralized finance.
Ethereum co-founder, Jeffrey Wilcke, made a transfer of 78,000 ETH (around $260 million) to Kraken, raising concerns among traders. Wilcke's previous large sales have coincided with local market peaks. The timing is also right as ETH&#8217;s price has nearly doubled its recent low at $1,390, which can invite a short-term correction.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw a similar pattern, where an anonymous whale placed an $800 million leveraged long bet on the token using 40x leverage. With the Federal Reserve adding to the uncertainty with unclear policy signals, traders are now worried about a violent market shift.&nbsp;
A post from Ethereum's official X account, formerly Twitter, showed 21 developments over the last few weeks. Along with the Pectra update and Stripe integration, names like CoalaPay, BTCS Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTCS#NASDAQ">BTCS</a>), and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) have contributed to Ethereum&#8217;s growing reach and technical ability. Layer-2 solutions are active, secure, and faster than ever, and the ecosystem continues to innovate in ways that traditional finance can&#8217;t keep up with.
Ethereum passing Bank of America indicates that talent, capital, and attention are pouring into it, not due to hype, but because it&#8217;s providing actual utility.&nbsp;

Ethereum Surpasses Bank of America As Price Soars 48%, Stripe Integrates Stablecoins

Bank of America Corporation Announced That It Will Redeem On June 12, 2025 All CHF375,000,000 Principal Amount Outstanding Of Its 0.2525% Senior Notes, Due June 12

Top U.S. banks are contemplating a joint venture to issue a dollar-pegged stablecoin in an attempt to counter the increasing competition from the cryptocurrency sector, according to a report dated Thursday.
What Happened: Companies co-owned by&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>),&nbsp;Citigroup&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and&nbsp;Wells Fargo&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) are exploring the possibility of a joint stablecoin, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. The discussions, still in their infancy, involve Early Warning Services, the operator of&nbsp;mobile payment app Zelle, and the Clearing House,&nbsp;a real-time payment network.
The decision to proceed with the stablecoin will hinge on several factors, including&nbsp;legislative actions around stablecoins and&nbsp;the demand for them. The banking industry has been gearing up for the potential widespread adoption of stablecoins, which could divert&nbsp;the deposits and transactions they&nbsp;handle.
A Bank of America spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by Benzinga. Responses from other banks are awaited.

Why It Matters: The potential joint venture by these banking giants comes at a time when the Senate is making strides towards the final passage of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage">GENIUS Act, also known as the stablecoin bill</a>. The proposed legislation aims to establish the first U.S. regulatory framework for issuers of stablecoins—digital tokens that are tied to fiat currencies like the dollar.
The SEC has already clarified that <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/statement-stablecoins-040425#_ftn4">certain stablecoins</a>, particularly those pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by low-risk, liquid assets, are not securities.

Warren Buffett Shows How Patience Pays: 98% Of His $160 Billion Wealth Came After Turning 65, Thanks The Power Of 'Compound Interest'

On Tuesday, in a post on X, investor and economist Peter Schiff highlighted U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields climbing back to 4.5%, despite the &#8220;trade truce&#8221; with China early this week, while the U.S. dollar &#8220;resumes its broad-based decline.&#8221;
What Happened: &#8220;Despite the trade truce, the world is losing confidence in the dollar and our ability to get our fiscal house in order,&#8221; Schiff said, highlighting structural issues, rather than short-term diplomacy, as driving factors behind recent market behaviors.
Schiff says, &#8220;The consequences of de-dollarization will be profound,&#8221; referring to a potential pivot by foreign central banks and investors away from U.S. debt and currency reserves in recent weeks, leading to high borrowing costs for the U.S. Government.

10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield hit its highest level in a month at 4.45% on Tuesday, up from 4.17% at the beginning of this month, and 3.99% at the beginning of April. This comes as markets continue to assess the impact of the trade de-escalation with China this week, according to TradingEconomics.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is flat during the day, trading at 100.95, up 0.001%, while being up 0.72% for the month. The currency witnessed a pullback following a sharp rally on Monday, mainly owing to the soft inflation data, which hints at a rate cut by the Federal Reserve, according to Reuters.

Why It Matters: Other analysts and economists have expressed similar concerns. Macro researcher Stephanie Pomboy described Monday's market rally as a &#8220;headline sugar rush&#8221; fueled by tariff optimism, warning that &#8220;the market's partying on tariffs, but the foundation is cracking&#8221; amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45369770/whos-going-to-buy-2-trillion-worth-of-paper-macro-expert-calls-wall-street-rally-a-headline-sugar-rush-as-treasury-yield-spike-signals-bigger-trouble">rising Treasury yields</a>.
Last week,&nbsp;Michael Hartnett, a Chief Investment Strategist at&nbsp;Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), warned that 5% Treasury yields could <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett?_gl=1&#x2A;tvuwqm&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;OTU0MzA1MzE4LjE3NDcwMTIxNDM.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MyLjEuczE3NDcxMzY3MTkkbzE2JGcxJHQxNzQ3MTM4MzEzJGowJGwwJGgw&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NDcxODQ5NDAkbzE0JGcxJHQxNzQ3MTg1Mjk1JGowJGwwJGgw">compel the U.S. Government</a> to walk on its protectionist trade measures. 
Analysts at Deutsche AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) early last month referred to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44756751/full-spectrum-collapse-top-bank-rings-alarm-over-simultaneous-fall-of-us-assets">simultaneous collapse</a> of U.S. equities, the dollar, and Treasury yields as &#8220;uncharted territory,&#8221; which they blamed squarely on markets having &#8220;lost faith in U.S. assets.&#8221;
This comes as the U.S. Treasury Department <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45204657/us-treasury-ramps-up-borrowing-needs-to-514-billion-marking-a-surprising-320-jump-from-its-previous-forecast">ramps up its borrowing</a>, projecting $514 billion in net marketable debt being issued during the current quarter, which is a staggering 317% over its own forecasts two months earlier, at $123 billion.

Bank Of America Bets On Brick-And-Mortar, Expansion Plans Include 60 Markets Worldwide

On Monday, Stephanie Pomboy, the founder of macro research firm MacroMavens, rained on Wall Street&#8217;s victory parade following the trade war de-escalation between the U.S. and China.
What Happened: Referring to the rally as a &#8220;headline sugar rush,&#8221; Pomboy believes the market is misreading the situation. &#8220;To listen to the financial media, you&#8217;d think it was the final agreement, and it ain&#8217;t,&#8221; she said <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIbYX9-gLl0">on</a> Kitco News, referring to the temporary tariff pause.
While equities rallied, Treasuries were telling a different story, according to Pomboy, &#8220;10-year yield just surged to 4.45%,&#8221; she says, calling the instrument &#8220;recalcitrant,&#8221; given its growing unpredictability and lack of cooperation with macroeconomic signals.

With more than $2 trillion in Treasury issuance on the horizon and major foreign buyers like China pulling back, &#8220;Who's going to buy $2 trillion worth of paper?&#8221; She asks.
The U.S. Treasury is expected to issue new debt in 2025 to finance ongoing federal deficits. Recent projections include $514 billion in borrowing for the April–June quarter and $554 billion for July–September, with similar amounts in earlier quarters. On an annualized basis, total borrowing exceeds $2 trillion.
She further warned that the Federal Reserve may ultimately be forced back into balance sheet expansion. &#8220;The Fed is the only obvious candidate to absorb all this issuance,&#8221; Pomboy said, adding that credit stress is growing despite a lack of response in spreads.
&#8220;This is a structural fiscal problem,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The market's partying on tariffs, but the foundation is cracking.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Last week, Michael Hartnett, a Chief Investment Strategist at Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) echoed similar views, stating that 5% Treasury Yields could <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">push the U.S. Government</a> to walk back on its protectionist trade policies. 
This comes amid the Treasury <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/05/45204657/us-treasury-ramps-up-borrowing-needs-to-514-billion-marking-a-surprising-320-jump-from-its-previous-forecast">ramping up its borrowing</a>, at $514 billion, up 317% from its own forecast of $123 billion made just two months ago.

'Who's Going To Buy $2 Trillion Worth Of Paper?' Macro Expert Calls Wall Street Rally A 'Headline Sugar Rush' As Treasury Yield Spike Signals Bigger Trouble

President Donald Trump has significantly reduced tariffs on Chinese imports as the United States enters a 90-day period of trade negotiations with China, according to a May 12 executive order.
What Happened: The order decreases the de minimis tariff rate on low-value Chinese imports from 120% to 54%, effective May 14. 
Additionally, the planned increase of the per-postal-item duty from $100 to $200, originally scheduled for June 1, has been suspended. The executive order also lowers general Chinese import tariffs to 10% by suspending 24% from the previously imposed rate for the 90-day negotiation period.
Trump justified these reductions by stating that China has taken &#8220;significant steps to remedy non-reciprocal trade arrangements&#8221; by entering discussions with the United States to address &#8220;the lack of trade reciprocity in our economic relationship and our resulting national and economic security concerns.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The tariff adjustments represent a significant shift in Trump&#8217;s trade strategy that previously targeted Chinese e-commerce platforms like Temu owned by PDD Holdings Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and Shein, after closing the de minimis exemption that had allowed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44714336/temu-shein-brace-for-impact-as-trumps-tariff-torpedo-blows-up-the-800-loophole">goods valued under $800 </a>to enter the United States duty-free. 
The earlier crackdown had substantial ripple effects across digital advertising markets, with Sensor Tower reporting that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45190742/meta-google-snap-set-to-lose-billions-in-ad-revenue-from-chinese-sellers-as-trump-closes-de-minimis-loophole-report">Temu reduced its average daily U.S. advertising</a> spend by 31% between March and mid-April. 
Marketing firm Tinuiti noted that Temu, which represented 19% of all U.S. Google Shopping ads, saw its share <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45190742/meta-google-snap-set-to-lose-billions-in-ad-revenue-from-chinese-sellers-as-trump-closes-de-minimis-loophole-report">drop to zero just one week later</a>.

Trump Lowers De Minimis Tariff On Chinese Imports From 120% To 54%, Pauses $200 Postal Fee Amid 90-Day Trade Shift

Investment banks managing Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) battery supplier CATL&#8217;s IPO, the world&#8217;s largest listing of 2025, are set to earn underwriting fees that fall below the industry standard. 
What Happened: Nine underwriters of Shenzhen-listed battery titan CATL are projected to receive a maximum of HK$238.7 million ($30.62 million). This data was shared by the Chinese firm in a securities filing earlier this week. The fixed commission on Hong Kong's largest listing of the year is just 0.2% of the funds raised—well below the industry average, according to Reuters. 
This fee is just one-third of what Chinese home appliance maker Midea paid banks last year for its nearly $4.6 billion Hong Kong listing. It's also only a quarter of the 0.8% underwriting fee that China's largest express delivery firm, S.F. Holding, paid for its $792 million secondary listing in Hong Kong last November.
The sponsors of the CATL deal—JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), China International Capital Corporation, and China Securities International—will each receive $300,000 for their involvement. That's roughly half the five-year market average, according to Dealogic data. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and UBS are serving as joint global coordinators for CATL&#8217;s Hong Kong listing,
CATL may offer a 0.6% discretionary fee as an incentive. The modest fees underscore the tough environment banks face in Asia&#8217;s financial hub, even as a recent uptick in trading volumes and new listings has raised hopes for a rebound in major Chinese offerings.

Why It Matters: This development comes after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45343633/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-to-raise-4-billion-through-hong-kong-listing-report">CATL&#8217;s announcement</a> to raise over $4 billion through a stock listing on Hong Kong&#8217;s stock exchange. The company, a battery supplier for the Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc, aimed to raise the figure by selling over 117.9 million shares priced at HK$263 ($33.75).
CATL&#8217;s offering has seen strong demand and was oversubscribed multiple times since its launch on Monday, attracting interest from sovereign wealth funds and global long-only investors, according to a book message reviewed by Reuters.
Earlier in April, CATL had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44894382/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-unveils-new-fast-charging-battery-with-323-mile-range-in-five-minutes">launched</a>&nbsp;the second-generation ‘Shenxing&#8217; fast-charging battery, which can power over 67 new EVs this year. The battery enables a range of 520 km or approximately 323 miles on a 5-minute charge, and can also be charged from 0% to 80% in 15 minutes in cold weather.
