Analysts at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/truist-securities">Truist Securities</a> initiated coverage on 24 large-cap, regional, and trust banks, as well as credit card companies. They anticipate strong earnings growth over the next two years, projecting an annual increase of 12-15% fueled by factors like improving loan growth, a steeper yield curve, and ample capital for expansion.
What Happened: Forecasting a favorable environment for banks in 2025 and 2026, the analysts at Truist foresee a less stringent regulatory environment, with more clarity and flexibility for banks regarding mergers and acquisitions, and the deployment of excess capital.
The note highlighted that the banking stocks were de-rated during the first two years of Trump 1.0 because the yield curve was flattened and late-cycle macro concerns surfaced, even as the administration enacted bank-friendly tax reform and regulatory tailoring. However, according to the brokerage, a little Fed easing and a steeper curve are necessary for the stocks to be re-rated and two rate cuts are expected in 2025, as hinted by Fed during their December meeting. 
According to Truist, while bank valuations have increased, they remain relatively attractive compared to historical levels. They currently trade at a price-to-book value (P/TBV) below their post-financial crisis average, and at a significant discount to the broader market. The note adds that given the current market valuations, bank stocks appear undervalued relative to the S&amp;P 500.
However, despite Truist beliefs that the sector offers attractive opportunities, careful stock selection is crucial according to them. &#8220;While we're not at &#8216;close your eyes and buy ‘em levels,&#8217; we still see attractive opportunities across the sector and view stock selection as increasingly important,&#8221; the note said.

Why It Matters: Truist&#8217;s coverage on 24 financial stocks is spread across three subgroups namely, large-cap, regional, and trust banks, which is initiated with a positive outlook.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Large-Cap Banks</h3>
The research note examines long-term investment potential of large U.S. banks as these institutions possess significant advantages, including, &#8220;embedded offense&#8221; with the presence of strong existing businesses and customer relationships.
It also anticipates cyclical tailwinds and capital leverage for such banks given a favorable economic environment and the ability to effectively utilize capital for growth.
These factors position large U.S. banks to achieve organic growth by the expansion of core businesses, double-digit earnings growth and an attractive returns on equity.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trust Banks And Capital Markets</h3>
Truist anticipates gradual interest rate decreases, the eventual end of quantitative tightening, and a healthy economy and capital markets providing a competitive landscape to trust banks.
According to the analysts, investors should prioritize stocks with the potential for sustained operating leverage. Which is the ability to increase profitability significantly with relatively small increases in revenue. And stocks with strong capital returns, with high levels of income through dividends and share buybacks.

Yield Curve Normalization, Cheap Valuation, EPS Growth To Boost Banks In 2025: Truist Initiates Coverage On These 14 Regional Names

JP Morgan analyst Anthony Elian maintains Comerica (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $73 to $70.

JP Morgan Maintains Neutral on Comerica, Lowers Price Target to $70

A stronger lending environment, stable credit and renewed confidence in valuations could set the stage for a multiyear rally on U.S. regional banks, with some analysts predicting up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/regional-banks">20% upside in 2025.</a>
Three major investment banks — JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., Bank of America and Goldman Sachs — released fresh outlooks on regional banks Tuesday, issuing rating changes, top stock picks and sector recommendations for 2025.
Overall, analysts at all three firms are optimistic. Goldman Sachs analyst Ryan Nash, for example, highlighted several factors likely to improve sector fundamentals in 2025:
<ul>
<li>Loan Growth Recovery: While still slow, loan growth is expected to accelerate to 6%-7% by the second half of 2025 as corporations resume borrowing.</li>
<li>Net Interest Income Growth: A steeper yield curve and the repricing of fixed-rate assets are anticipated to boost NII. Nash expects margins to expand from the current 3.03% to 3.31% in 2025.</li>
<li>Fee Income Rebound: Treasury management, payments, and capital markets are set to improve, helping banks diversify revenue streams.</li>
<li>Stable Credit Conditions: Credit losses, measured by net charge-offs, are projected to remain flat or decline, while reserves could decrease as economic clarity improves.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>
According to Nash, the stocks of regional banks are trading at approximately 11.5 times estimated 2025 earnings—near their historical averages but with room for valuation expansion. 
The sector could generate returns on tangible common equity of 14%-15%, compared to 16% pre-2023.
This suggests the group could rise as much as 20% next year, according to Goldman Sachs, assuming the market gains confidence in forward earnings.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs: Upgrades Zions, Downgrades Comerica</h3>
Goldman Sachs upgraded Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>) from Neutral to Buy. The firm predicts a significant upside for the stock, with shares potentially reaching $70 in 2025.
Goldman downgraded Comerica Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>) from Buy to Neutral, citing challenges in deposit management, fee income pressure, and elevated expense growth. Comerica's margins are expected to improve in 2025. But Nash sees limited upside, with shares already trading near their fair value of $70.
Goldman's top picks for 2025 include Truist Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>), Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>), KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>) and Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>).
Analysts remain positive on Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITB#NASDAQ">FITB</a>), Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBAN#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>) and First Citizens BancShares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Case For Valuation Upside</h3>
JPMorgan Chase analysts are similarly bullish, indicating that regional banks are trading at just 1.4x their projected 2025 tangible book value, below the 1.8-2x historical range.
Anthony Elian, a JPMorgan analyst, said regional banks&#8217; valuations appear favorable relative to the broader market.
&#8220;While inflation remains above target, the steeper yield curve coupled with gradual rate cuts should serve as a favorable backdrop for regional banks,&#8221; Elian said. 
He expects the sector to attract more interest from generalist investors in 2025, further supporting valuations.
JPMorgan identified several regional banks with strong upside potential, including First Horizon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHN#NYSE">FHN</a>), Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>) and Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNFP#NASDAQ">PNFP</a>). These names are expected to benefit from rebounding loan demand, robust deposit bases, and favorable capital return dynamics.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Improving Regulatory Environment </h3>
Bank of America analyst Ebrahim H. Poonawala also indicated that regional banks are poised to outperform the broader market in 2025, citing stronger earnings growth, discounted valuations, and a more predictable regulatory environment.
While Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) remains BofA's top pick, the bank also flagged KeyCorp and Huntington Bancshares Inc. as preferred names within regional banks.
The analyst highlighted a favorable backdrop for small- and mid-cap regional banks, particularly those with exposure to rebounding loan demand and capital return opportunities. 
Among these, BofA sees First Horizon Corp. and Synovus as potentially strong performers.
Bank of America highlights that looser regulation is a positive tailwind for the sector.
&#8220;Headlines tied to regulatory&nbsp;changes&nbsp;(once Trump appointees take charge)&nbsp;could kick-in as a positive catalyst&nbsp;for stocks,&#8221; Poonawala said. 
&#8220;We see Fed Vice Chair Michael Barr&#8216;s decision to step down from his position as vice chair of supervision as the opening act.&nbsp;End to Fed&#8217;s QT&nbsp;program&nbsp;could also&nbsp;serve&nbsp;as a positive for deposit growth/pricing,&#8221; he added. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
The SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) was 0.4% lower on Tuesday, while the Invesco KBW Bank ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBWB#NASDAQ">KBWB</a>) rose by 0.5%.

Are Regional Banks The Next Big Opportunity? Why Wall Street Analysts Expect Multiyear Rally

Barclays analyst Jason Goldberg maintains Comerica (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>) with a Underweight and raises the price target from $66 to $68.

Barclays Maintains Underweight on Comerica, Raises Price Target to $68

Regional bank stocks have been on a tear since the 2024 U.S. election, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) climbing about 10% versus the broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42536512/market-breadth-worsens-as-tech-giants-break-free-from-sp-500-reality-is-this-bullish-or-bearish-for-2025">S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 5% gain. </a>
Despite this already strong outperformance, JPMorgan analysts, led by Anthony Elian, CFA, see more upside.
The key drivers? A potential Trump administration's pro-business stance, easing regulation and a favorable interest rate backdrop.
In a note shared with clients on Tuesday, Elian indicated that investors — long on the sidelines due to frustrations such as regulation, rising deposit costs and the Spring 2023 banking turmoil — are beginning to show renewed interest in the sector.
&#8220;Our optimism for the group is not only driven by the likelihood of improving fundamentals next year in areas such as loan growth, deposit growth, and NIM expansion, but also tied to the fact that dozens of generalists and long only investors that we have spoken to since the election are showing increasing interest in the group but have not yet pulled the buy trigger en masse,&#8221; Elian said.
In essence, analysts at the U.S. largest investment bank are bullish on regional banks heading into 2025, with a strong case for 20% upside. 
Here's where they'd put $1,000 to work.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why 2025 Could Be A Breakout Year For Regionals</h1>
According to JPMorgan, key catalysts driving stock gains across the industry next year include:
<ul>
<li>A revival in loan growth spurred by onshoring trends.</li>
<li>A deregulatory push from the upcoming Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, particularly if Basel III Endgame proposals are halted.</li>
<li>Improved M&amp;A activity, with banks like Comerica Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>), First Horizon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHN#NYSE">FHN</a>), and Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>) potentially benefiting.</li>
<li>Lower corporate taxes supporting bottom-line profitability.</li>
<li>A steep yield curve and the Fed's expected rate cuts in 2025, which could reduce deposit costs and boost Net Interest Margins (NIM).</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rate Cuts, Deposit Costs: A Big Win For Banks</h1>
JPMorgan highlights that deposit costs, which are tied to the Fed funds rate, remain critical to bank profitability.
As of the third quarter of 2024, the median cost of interest-bearing deposits stood at 3.5%, with higher-paying banks like Texas Capital Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCBI#NASDAQ">TCBI</a>), Flagstar Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLG#NYSE">FLG</a>) and Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLY#NASDAQ">VLY</a>) above 4%.
Banks paying higher rates have the most room to benefit as the Fed eases monetary policy in 2025. 
Lower-beta deposits, like those at First Hawaiian Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHB#NASDAQ">FHB</a>) and Webster Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBS#NYSE">WBS</a>), offer less flexibility for adjustments.

Wells Fargo Upgrades Comerica to Equal-Weight, Raises Price Target to $73

Financial stocks are basking in a post-election rally after Donald Trump's election win as investors anticipate a friendlier regulatory landscape for banks, brokers and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> consumer finance companies</a>.
With expectations of deregulation and possible tax cuts, traders are piling into financials at levels not seen in years.
The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) jumped over 5% last week, hitting fresh record highs, while weekly inflows surged to $1.573 billion—the highest in over two years. 
Regional banks, in particular, were on fire, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) skyrocketing nearly 11% and seeing $1.09 billion in inflows, marking its largest influx of money since March 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Drivers: Deregulation, Tax Cuts Fuel Investor Optimism</h3>
Investors are betting on a wave of Trump-favored financial reforms that could benefit the sector. 
Richard Ramsden, a Goldman Sachs analyst, highlighted that "the market is pricing in the potential for changes to a number of proposed regulations, a step up in capital markets activity, as well as the potential for a reduction in the corporate tax rate."
Potential regulatory changes under Trump could include:
<ol>
<li>401K Reform: Opening up retirement plans to private investments could attract a flood of new capital.</li>
<li>Relaxed Antitrust Regulations: A more lenient antitrust stance may spark increased mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity.</li>
<li>Reduced SEC Oversight: There is limited clarity on whether the SEC will continue probing brokers' sweep pricing practices.</li>
<li>Crypto-Friendly Policies: Financial firms with crypto exposure may benefit from a more favorable regulatory environment and higher digital asset prices.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs's Top Picks Among Financials Stocks</h3>
In anticipation of these shifts, Ramsden and his team have identified several top picks across the financial sector. 
Here's where they see the biggest potential gains:
<ul>

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Steeper Yield Curve Expected to Boost Regional Banks</h3>
As markets react to potential economic stimulus and reduced regulatory pressure, analysts anticipate a steeper yield curve, which could be a windfall for banks with heavy exposure to fixed-rate assets. 
Around 60% of both regional and large banks' balance sheets consist of fixed-rate holdings, positioning them to profit as long-term rates rise.
Ramsden's picks for banks that stand to gain the most from a steeper yield curve include:
Regional Banks: 
<ul>
<li>Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)</li>
<li>Comerica Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)</li>
<li>First Hawaiian Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHB#NASDAQ">FHB</a>)</li>
<li>Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>)</li>

<li>Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLY#NYSE">ALLY</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Surge in Capital Velocity: M&amp;A and Trading Boost Expected</h3>
Trump's pro-business stance is also expected to accelerate capital velocity in the M&amp;A and equity capital markets, providing a strong backdrop for trading activity. 
According to Ramsden, large banks like Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) could be the biggest beneficiaries, while among regional banks,&nbsp;KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)&nbsp;stand out.
Investment banks could also see a boost, with&nbsp;Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>),&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;PJT Partners Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>), and&nbsp;Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PIPR#NYSE">PIPR</a>)&nbsp;positioned to capitalize on a more active M&amp;A market. 
In the alternative asset management space,&nbsp;Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>),&nbsp;KKR,&nbsp;Apollo,&nbsp;TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>), and&nbsp;Ares Management Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARES#NYSE">ARES</a>)&nbsp;are expected to benefit from an uptick in private equity deal flow.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Cut Hopes Could Supercharge Regional Banks</h3>
Financial stocks are uniquely positioned to benefit from any corporate tax reductions, given that 90% of their earnings come from the U.S. and are currently taxed at an average rate of 23%. After the 2017 tax reform slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, financials saw their effective tax rate drop by 10 percentage points.
Ramsden estimates that if the Trump administration pursues another tax cut, regional banks would likely see the most significant upside. 
His top tax-cut beneficiaries include&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;American Express Co.

The insurance sector may also stand to gain under Trump's pro-business policies. Ramsden expects potential increases in claim costs but sees positive momentum for property and casualty pricing.
Insurers with substantial U.S. exposure and a favorable position on the yield curve could see tailwinds.
Ramsden's picks in the insurance space include&nbsp;W.R. Berkley Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRB#NYSE">WRB</a>),&nbsp;Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.

<a href=""https://www.benzinga.com/topic/truist-securities"">트루이스트 증권</a>의 애널리스트들은 24개의 대형은행, 지역은행, 신탁은행과 신용카드 회사에 대한 커버리지를 개시했다. 이들은 향후 2년간 강력한 수익 성장을 예상하며 대출 성장률 개선, 가파른 수익률 곡선, 충분한 자본 확충 등의 요인에 힘입어 연간 12~15%의 수익 증가를 예상하고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 2025년과 2026년에 은행에 우호적인 환경이 조성될 것으로 전망한 트루이스트 애널리스트들은 은행의 인수합병과 초과 자본의 활용에 관한 규제 환경이 보다 명확하고 유연해지면서 은행에 유리할 것으로 예상했다.
이번 메모는 행정부가 은행 친화적인 세제 개혁과 규제 조정을 시행했음에도 불구하고 수익률 곡선이 평평해지고 경기 후반기 거시적 우려가 부각되면서 트럼프 1기 행정부의 첫 2년 동안 은행주에 대한 투자의견이 하향 조정되었음을 강조했다. 그러나 트루이스트에 따르면 연준이 12월 회의에서 암시한 것처럼 주식이 재평가되기 위해서는 약간의 양적완화와 가파른 곡선이 필요하며, 2025년에 두 차례 금리 인하가 예상된다.
트루이스트에 따르면, 은행 밸류에이션은 상승했지만 과거 수준에 비해 여전히 상대적으로 매력적이다. 현재 은행은 금융위기 이후 평균보다 낮은 주가순자산비율(P/TBV)로 거래되고 있으며, 시장 전체에 비해 상당히 할인된 가격에 거래 중이다. 해당 메모는 현재 시장 밸류에이션을 고려할 때 은행 주식은 S&amp;P 500 지수에 비해 저평가된 것으로 보인다고 덧붙였다.
하지만 트루이스트는 은행 업종이 매력적인 기회를 제공하지만 신중한 종목 선택이 중요하다고 강조한다. "우리는 &#8216;눈 감고 사자&#8217; 수준은 아니지만, 여전히 섹터 전반에 걸쳐 매력적인 기회를 보고 있다. 주식 선택이 점점 더 중요해지고 있다고 생각한다.&#8221;
왜 중요한가: 24개 금융주에 대한 트루이스트의 커버리지 개시는 대형은행, 지역은행, 신탁은행의 세 가지 하위 그룹으로 나뉘며, 긍정적인 전망으로 시작된다.
<h3>대형은행</h3>
해당 리서치 메모는 미국 대형은행의 장기 투자 잠재력을 검토한다. 대형은행 기관은 강력한 기존 비즈니스와 고객 관계를 보유한 &#8216;내재된 공격&#8217;을 포함한 상당한 이점을 보유하고 있다.
또한 우호적인 경제 환경과 성장을 위해 자본을 효과적으로 활용할 수 있는 능력을 고려할 때 대형은행이 주기적인 순풍과 자본 레버리지를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.
이러한 요인으로 인해 미국 대형은행들은 핵심 비즈니스의 확장을 통한 유기적 성장, 두 자릿수 수익 성장, 매력적인 자기자본 수익률을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

또한, 트루이스트는 14개 지역 금융사에 대한 분석도 시작했고, 지역은행이 경쟁력을 유지하기 위한 세 가지 핵심 전략을 제시했다.
<ul>
<li>차별화된 성장: 독특하고 지속 가능한 성장 기회에 집중한다.</li>
<li>체계적인 자본 배분: 자본을 효율적으로 배분하여 성장을 지원하고 주주 가치를 높인다.</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">신탁은행 및 자본시장</h3>
트루이스트는 점진적인 금리 인하, 양적 긴축의 궁극적 종식, 건전한 경제와 자본 시장이 신탁은행에 경쟁 환경을 제공할 것으로 예상한다.
애널리스트들은 투자자들이 지속적인 영업 레버리지가 가능한 종목에 우선순위를 두어야 한다고 말한다. 이는 상대적으로 적은 매출 증가로 수익성을 크게 높일 수 있는 능력을 의미한다. 또한 배당금과 자사주 매입을 통해 높은 수준의 소득을 창출하는 자본 수익률이 높은 주식이다.
트루이스트는 금리가 점진적으로 하락하고 양적 긴축이 끝나며 건강한 경제와 자본 시장이 신탁은행들에게 경쟁력을 제공할 것이라고 예상한다.
애널리스트들은 투자자들이 지속적인 운영 레버리지(매출의 상대적으로 작은 증가로 수익성을 크게 증가시킬 수 있는 능력)와 높은 배당금 및 자사주 매입을 통한 높은 수익률을 가진 주식을 우선시해야 한다고 조언한다.

미국 은행들이 3분기 실적을 발표할 준비를 하면서, 투자자들은 경제의 연착륙 가능성, 연방준비제도(연준)의 금리 인하, 그리고 이들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/banks" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">은행 가치 평가에 미치는 영향</a>에 주목하고 있다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카(Bank of America)의 애널리스트들은 은행 주식 전망에 대해 조심스러운 낙관을 유지하고 있다. 그들은 연착륙 시나리오가 고객 활동의 반등을 촉발하고, 대출 성장을 개선하며 그리고 섹터의 주가수익비율(P/E) 배수를 긍정적으로 유도할 수 있다고 예측한다. 하지만 연준의 정책 변화와 다가오는 미국 선거와 같은 거시적 불확실성이 이 같은 기대를 완화하고 있다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카의 주식 애널리스트인 에브라힘 푸나왈라(Ebrahim H. Poonawala)는 월요일 노트에서 금리 인하가 은행 주당순이익(EPS) 전망과 주식 P/E 배율에 대해 &#8220;구조적으로 긍정적&#8221;일 수 있다고 강조했다. 금리가 낮아지면 고객 활동이 재활성화될 것으로 예상되며, 특히 투자은행, 주택담보대출 및 대출 성장에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것이다.
그러나 낮은 금리는 &#8220;자산에 민감한 은행&#8221;에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되며, 대출 수익률이 하락할 것이다.
추가 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41212796/tesla-robotaxi-day-preview-move-over-autonomous-vehicles-analyst-says-this-positive">테슬라 로보택시 데이 미리보기: 자율주행차를 제치고, 애널리스트가 말하는 이 &#8216;긍정적 촉매&#8217;가 더 중요할 수 있다</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">정치적 리스크가 대선을 앞두고 크게 작용</h3>
다가오는 미국 선거는 은행들에게 추가적인 불확실성을 더하고 있다.
&#8220;트럼프의 승리는 규제/M&amp;A 분야에서의 완화로 긍정적으로 작용할 가능성이 높다. 민주당의 압승은 높은 세금, 규제 변화의 지속(또는 악화) 가능성 때문에 섹터에 가장 부정적인 결과로 작용할 가능성이 높다&#8221;라고 애널리스트들이 언급했다.
현재의 가치 평가가 연착륙에 대해 조심스레 낙관적인 모습을 보이고 있지만, 정치적 결과는 섹터에 변동성을 유발할 수 있다. 트럼프가 승리하면 은행 주식은 &#8220;즉각적인&#8221; 긍정적인 반응을 보일 가능성이 높고, 민주당이 승리하면 투자 심리에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">지역 은행이 메인스트리트 은행보다 선호됨</h3>
2024년 3분기에 이 투자 은행은 SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>)에서 추적하는 바와 같이 대형 머니 센터 은행들보다 &#8220;순이자 소득(NII)에 대한 더 나은 방어력&#8221;을 이유로 지역 은행들을 선호했다.
지역 은행들은 예금에 대한 더 큰 유연성, 더 나은 헤징 전략, 그리고 채권 평가손실이 줄어들면서 자본 완화의 가능성이 더 높다.
주요 추천주로는 U.S. 뱅코프(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>), 웨스턴 얼라이언스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>), PNC 파이낸셜(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>), 피프스 써드(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITB#NASDAQ">FITB</a>), M&amp;T 뱅크(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>), 그리고 트루이스트 파이낸셜(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>)이 있다.
퍼스트 뱅코프(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBP#NYSE">FBP</a>)는 &#8220;현재 금리 기대치를 헤쳐나가기 가장 잘 대비된&#8221; 은행으로 평가되었으며, 텍사스 캐피털 뱅크셰어스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCBI#NASDAQ">TCBI</a>)는 가장 큰 영향을 받을 것으로 보인다.
월요일, 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 코메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)를 &#8220;중립&#8221;에서 &#8220;부진&#8221;으로 하향 조정하고 목표 주가를 55달러에서 52달러로 낮췄다. 애널리스트인 브랜든 버만(Brandon Berman)은 코메리카를 지탱하던 긍정적인 금리 거래가 &#8220;그 과정을 마쳤다&#8221;고 강조하며, 이 주식은 이제 역사적 범위의 상단을 넘어서 거래되고 있어 하향 조정된 실적 전망의 위험을 반영하지 않고 있다고 설명했다.
앞으로, 10월 11일 금요일에는 JP모건 체이스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), 웰스 파고(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), 그리고 뉴욕 멜론 은행(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNY#NYSE">BNY</a>)의 주요 실적 보고가 있을 것이다.

S&amp;P 다우존스 지수는 금요일 늦게 분기별 재조정에 맞춰 다양한 S&amp;P 지수에 대한 변경 사항을 발표했다. 유명한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500-index">S&amp;P 500 지수</a>에 추가된 기업들 중 주목할만한 것은 사이버 보안 회사인 크라우드스트라이크(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 크라우드스트라이크는 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 로버트 하프(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHI#NYSE">RHI</a>)를 대체하고, 투자 관리 회사인 KKR &amp; Co Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>)와 고대디(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDDY#NYSE">GDDY</a>)는 이 더 넓은 범위 지수에서 각각 코메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)와 일루미나(NASD:ILMN)를 대신하게 된다.
이 변경 사항은 월요일 거래 개시 전에 적용될 예정이다. S&amp;P 다우존스는 이러한 변화로 인해 각 지수가 시가총액 범위를 더 잘 대표할 수 있게 되었다고 말했다.
일루미나는 고대디(GoDaddy)를 대신하여 S&amp;P MidCap 400 지수로 강등되며, 로버트 하프와 코메리카는 S&amp;P SmallCap 600 지수에서 애니웨어 리얼 에스테이트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOUS#NYSE">HOUS</a>)와 애드트랜 홀딩스(NASD:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/adtn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ADTN</a>)를 대체한다. 유전자 시퀀싱 회사인 일루미나(Illumina)는 6월 24일 암 혈액 검사 제조부문인 그레일(Grail)을 분사할 계획을 발표했다.
S&amp;P 다우존스는 또한 S&amp;P MidCap 400 및 S&amp;P 600 SmallCap 지수에 대한 다수의 변경 사항을 발표했다.
S&amp;P 500 목록에서 제외된 기업 중에서 주목할 만한 기업으로는 AI 기반 데이터 분석 기업인 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)와 컴퓨터 및 주변기기 제조업체인 델 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>)가 있다. 덧붙여서, 팔란티어의 투자자들은 3월 초에 있었던 분기별 재조정 당시 S&amp;P 500에 편입될 것으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37440459/palantir-misses-out-super-micro-computer-makes-the-cut-what-investors-should-know-about-s-p-500-">예상</a>했었다.

왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): S&amp;P 500 지수는 미국 대형주 주식에 대한 최고의 단일 지표로 간주되며 500개의 주요 기업을 포함하며 가용 시가총액의 약 80%를 차지한다. 시가총액 가중 지수인 이 S&amp;P 500은 분기별로 재조정되며 일반적으로 3월, 6월, 9월, 12월 세 번째 금요일에 이루어진다.
이 재조정 과정에서 기업들은 일반적으로 가장 최근의 주식 수와 구성 회사의 유동 주식에 따라 제거되거나 추가된다. 이에 따라 그들이 지수에서 차지하는 비중도 조정된다.
S&amp;P 500 지수 선발 기준은 다음과 같다. 1) 시가 총액이 158억 달러 이상, 2) 유동 주식수 조정 시가총액으로 거래되는 연간 달러 가치가 0.75 이상, 3) NYSE 또는 나스닥에 상장되어 있으며, 4) 미국에 주 상장이 되어 있는 기업이다. 이 외에도 종목 거래량의 기준도 있다.
지수 편입은 일반적으로 주식에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 지수를 반영하는 포트폴리오를 보유하는 펀드들이 해당 구성 종목의 가중치를 유지하기 위해 해당 종목을 매수하기 때문이다. 또한 인덱스(지수) 펀드와 ETF를 통한 구매로 인한 거래량과 유동성이 증가하는 효과도 본다.
<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 이번 발표 이후 크라우드스트라이크는 금요일 시간외 거래에서 5.35% 상승한 367.80달러를 기록했다. KKR은 7.72% 상승했고, 고대디는 3.72% 상승했다.
