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.

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) has faced recent downgrades from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/upgrades/24/12/42407670/sofi-technologies-shares-fall-after-bofa-downgrade-over-valuation-concerns">analysts</a> citing concerns over the company&#8217;s high valuation. However, technical analysis, particularly moving averages, suggests potential support for the stock. 
What Happened: SoFi was downgraded to &#8216;underperform&#8217; by Keefe, Bruyette, and Woods (KBW), despite a recent rally driven by investor optimism and lower interest rates. While KBW slightly increased its price target, it expressed concerns about SOFI&#8217;s lofty valuation, deeming its long-term earnings potential insufficient to justify the current stock price.
The brokerage emphasized the challenges of achieving ambitious earnings targets, citing the need for significant revenue growth and margin improvement. KBW concluded that the current risk-reward profile for SOFI investors leans heavily toward potential losses.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, the stock was nearly three times more expensive than its peers. The forward price-to-earnings for SoFi was 76.923, whereas the average of its peers stood at 26.384.

SoFi Tech Downgraded Over Valuation Concerns: Stock Priced Three Times Its Peers

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced plans to introduce legislation supporting President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, as credit card defaults reach their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42735416/el-erian-warns-of-hidden-crisis-in-exceptional-us-economy-as-lower-income-households-face-considerable-challenges">highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis</a>.
What Happened: Major credit card companies saw their stocks decline on Monday, with Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) falling 1.05%, Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) dropping 1.25%, and American Express Co.

&#8220;Donald Trump proposed a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. Great idea. Let's see if he supports the legislation that I will introduce to do just that.&#8221; Sanders said wrote on X on Monday.

Bernie Sanders Calls Trump's 10% Interest Rate Cap On Credit Card Debt A 'Great Idea' As Defaults Surge To Highest Levels Since 2008: Visa, Mastercard Stocks Fall In Premarket

Influential economist Mohamed El-Erian recently pointed out the stark contrast between US &#8220;economic exceptionalism&#8221; and the struggles of lower-income households in what he calls a &#8220;K economy.&#8221;
What Happened: On Monday, El-Erian posted a comment and shared a story from the front page of the Financial Times, highlighting the growing economic disparity in the United States. He noted that while the US economy is exceptional in many ways, it has also led to a &#8220;K economy&#8221; where lower-income households face significant and increasing challenges.

It is a reminder that, from a distributional perspective, US &quot;economic exceptionalism&quot; has been accompanied by what many have called a &quot;K economy&quot; in which lower-income households face considerable and mounting challenges. <a href="https://t.co/0HL08g8nMJ">pic.twitter.com/0HL08g8nMJ</a>
&mdash; Mohamed A. El-Erian (@elerianm) <a href="https://twitter.com/elerianm/status/1873726565982617611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
El-Erian&#8217;s post comes in the context of a recent report on the surge in US credit card defaults, which have reached their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

Why It Matters: This situation underscores the financial strain on lower-income households, which El-Erian refers to in his &#8220;K economy&#8221; comment. The term &#8220;K economy&#8221; refers to a situation where the wealthy continue to prosper while the less affluent struggle, creating a divide that resembles the letter &#8216;K.&#8217; Traditionally the economy is viewed as &#8216;V&#8217; shaped with even ups and downs.
Credit card lenders wrote off a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42721109/mark-cuban-once-said-credit-card-users-dont-want-to-be-rich-now-us-credit-card-defaults-have-skyrocketed-to-highest-levels-since-2008-financial-crisis">staggering $46 billion</a>&nbsp;in seriously delinquent loan balances&nbsp;during&nbsp;the first nine months of&nbsp;2024. This figure, representing a 50% increase&nbsp;from the same period in&nbsp;2023, is the highest&nbsp;in 14 years, according to&nbsp;data from BankRegData.
Mark Zandi, the head of Moody's Analytics, stated,&nbsp;"High-income households are fine, but&nbsp;the bottom third of US&nbsp;consumers are tapped out. Their&nbsp;savings rate right now is&nbsp;zero."
The rise in defaults underscores the strain on consumers&#8217; personal finances following years of high inflation and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy of maintaining elevated borrowing costs. Early indicators suggest a growing number of&nbsp;defaults on consumer debt.
Capital One, the third-largest credit card lender in the US, reported its annualized credit card write-off rate hit 6.1% as of November, up from 5.2% a year ago.
Odysseas Papadimitriou, head of consumer&nbsp;credit research firm WalletHub, noted,&nbsp;"Consumer spending power has been&nbsp;diminished." Despite nearly $60 billion&nbsp;in consumer credit card debt&nbsp;being written off&nbsp;in the past year, another&nbsp;$37 billion remains overdue by at least one month.

El-Erian Warns Of Hidden Crisis In 'Exceptional' US Economy As Lower Income Households Face 'Considerable' Challenges

U.S. credit card loan defaults have skyrocketed to levels unseen since the 2008 financial crisis. Credit card lenders wrote off a staggering $46 billion in seriously delinquent loan balances in the first nine months of 2024
What Happened: This figure, which represents a 50% increase from the same period in the previous year, is the highest in 14 years, according to data compiled by BankRegData, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c755a34d-eb97-40d1-b780-ae2e2f0e7ad9">reported</a> The Financial Times.
Mark Zandi, the head of Moody's Analytics, pointed out that while high-income households are managing, the bottom third of U.S. consumers are financially exhausted. He stated, &#8220;Their savings rate right now is zero.&#8221;
Capital One (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), the US&#8217;s third-largest credit card lender, recently reported that its annualized credit card write-off rate hit 6.1% as of November, up from 5.2% a year ago.

Here&#8217;s What Analysts Say</a>
Despite nearly $60 billion in consumer credit card debt being written off in the past year, another $37 billion remains on consumers&#8217; cards that are at least one month overdue. &#8220;Delinquencies are pointing to more pain ahead,&#8221; warned Odysseas Papadimitriou, head of consumer credit research firm WalletHub.
Why It Matters: Billionaires like Mark Cuban and Warren Buffett, along with financial expert Dave Ramsey, have openly voiced their disapproval of credit cards.
Buffett once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38628868/warren-buffetts-frugal-lifestyle-hacks-saved-millions-here-are-5-tips-to-follow-suit-in-your-everyda">advised a friend, </a>&#8220;If I owed any money at 18%, the first thing I&#8217;d do with any money I had would be to pay it off. It&#8217;s going to be way better than any investment idea I&#8217;ve got.&#8221; Similarly, during a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41615445/mark-cuban-says-if-you-use-a-credit-card-you-dont-want-to-be-rich-why-financial-icons-warren-buffett">2014 appearance on The Dave Ramsey Show</a>, Cuban sat down with financial advisor Ramsey to discuss topics like credit cards, managing debt, and strategies for wealth accumulation. When questioned about his views on credit card usage, Cuban was blunt, stating, &#8220;If you use a credit card, you don&#8217;t want to be rich,&#8221; stressing that paying off credit card debt is a key element in achieving financial success.

Shares of financial companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Cloud-based private company Databricks isn't in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37896102/nancy-pelosi-cathie-wood-nvidia-now-share-investments-in-this-pre-ipo-high-growth-artificial-int">rush to go public</a>.
What Happened: While the San Francisco-based company is experiencing growth and was recently valued at $62 billion, 2024 wasn&#8217;t the year to file an initial public offering, Databricks CEO and co-founder Ali Ghodsi said at the recent <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/12/10/watch-axios-event-ai-sf-summit-2024">Axios </a>AI Summit.
"This year was an election year. We wanted to get some stability — people are worried about interest rates, inflation,&#8221; he said, as reported by <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/17/its-dumb-to-ipo-this-year-databricks-ceo-explains-why-hes-waiting-to-go-public/">TechCrunch</a>. &#8220;So we said &#8216;Look, it's dumb to IPO this year,&#8217; so we're definitely going to wait.&#8221;
Ghodsi said the recent Series J round allowed some early employees the ability to cash out. The funding round, which was large at $10 billion, could have been larger based on demand, according to Ghodsi.
"I saw this Excel sheet where they kept a tally of all the people that want to invest. It was $19 billion of interest, and I almost fell off the chair,&#8221; he said. 
The original goal was to raise $3 billion to $4 billion, before the company pushed the funding amount higher.
While Databricks didn't choose the IPO route in 2024, the company could be one of many to go public next year.
"The earliest theoretical possibility of an IPO would be next year,&#8221; Ghodsi said, noting that the IPO could also push out to 2026 instead. It's less important to go public now than in past years, he explained.
Ghodsi also recognizes that high interest in artificial intelligence companies and ballooning valuations could signal a potential bubble for the sector.
"I mean, it's peak AI bubble. It doesn't take a genius to know that a company with five people which has no product, no innovation, no IP — just recent grads — (is not) worth hundreds of millions, sometimes billions."
Billion-dollar valuations on AI startups that have no product signal a bubble, Ghodsi added.

</ul>
Why It's Important: A potential IPO of Databricks could come with high investor interest thanks to its high growth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39305440/ai-startup-which-counts-nancy-pelosi-cathie-wood-and-nvidia-among-its-investors-forecasts-2-4b-annua">popular backers</a>, including Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Cathie Wood.
Pelosi and her venture capitalist husband Paul Pelosi took a $1 million to $5 million stake in the company according to a filing from the former Speaker earlier this year.
Pelosi represents District 11 of California in the U.S. House of Representatives. The region includes San Francisco, where Databricks is based.
Wood and Ark Invest own a stake in the company through the Ark Venture Fund (ARKVX), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/02/25420755/ark-funds-launching-new-fund-that-could-invest-in-private-companies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">launched in 2022</a>&nbsp;and gives investors access to private companies. Databricks is the tenth largest <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkvx#hold">holding </a>in the fund as of Nov. 30, representing 3.6% of assets.
Nvidia has been an investor and partner in the company for several years. Companies that have gone public via SPAC merger or IPO, and later disclose Nvidia as an investor, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39860370/serve-robotics-stock-rises-after-nvidia-discloses-10-stake">seen shares rise</a> with increased investor interest.

Databricks competes with Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), which went public at $120 per share in 2020. The company saw shares open at $245 due to huge demand. Snowflake stock is down 11% year-to-date.
Ghodsi hinted that Databricks is focusing on its rivalry with Snowflake to gain new business.
"We had a program called ‘SnowMelt.' We were going after Snowflake and we demonized them, but that's behind us," Ghodsi said at the Axios event. Databricks is also working on competing with larger companies like Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) according to the report.
Data and AI will be more important in people's lives going forward and Databricks is well-positioned to take advantage of this trend, Ghodsi predicts.
The company expects to hit positive free cash flow for the first time and have a $3 billion revenue run rate for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31.

Capital One Financial November Credit Card Domestic 30+ Day Performing Delinquencies Rate 4.57%, Net Charge-Offs Rate 6.08% - Filing

Capital One Finl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.36% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 16.26 million shares sold short, which is 4.31% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.47 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733926516_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Capital One Finl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Capital One Finl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Capital One Finl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.54%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

영향력 있는 경제학자 모하메드 엘 에리언은 최근 미국의 "경제적 예외주의"와 "K 경제"라고 불리는 저소득층 가구의 어려움 사이의 극명한 대조를 지적한 바 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 월요일(30일) 엘 에리언은 파이낸셜타임스 1면 기사를 공유하고 논평을 덧붙이면서 미국의 경제적 격차가 커지고 있음을 강조했다. 그는 미국 경제가 여러 면에서 예외적이지만 저소득층이 점점 더 큰 어려움에 직면하는 &#8216;K 경제&#8217;로 이어졌다고 지적했다.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is from the front page of today&#39;s <a href="https://twitter.com/FT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FT</a>. It is a reminder that, from a distributional perspective, US &quot;economic exceptionalism&quot; has been accompanied by what many have called a &quot;K economy&quot; in which lower-income households face considerable and mounting challenges. <a href="https://t.co/0HL08g8nMJ">pic.twitter.com/0HL08g8nMJ</a>
&mdash; Mohamed A. El-Erian (@elerianm) <a href="https://twitter.com/elerianm/status/1873726565982617611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
엘 에리언의 글은 2008년 금융 위기 이후 최고치를 기록한 미국 신용카드 채무 불이행 급증에 대한 최근 보고서의 맥락에서 나온 것이다.
왜 중요한가: 이러한 상황은 엘 에리언이 "K 경제"라는 발언에서 언급한 저소득 가구의 재정적 부담을 강조한다. &#8216;K 경제&#8217;라는 용어는 부유층은 계속 번영하는 반면 저소득층은 어려움을 겪으면서 문자 &#8216;K&#8217;와 유사한 격차가 발생하는 상황을 지칭한다. 전통적으로 경제는 기복이 있음에도 불구하고 &#8216;V&#8217; 모양으로 나타난다.
신용카드 대출업체들은 2024년 첫 9개월 동안 심각한 연체 대출 잔액 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42721109/mark-cuban-once-said-credit-card-users-dont-want-to-be-rich-now-us-credit-card-defaults-have-skyrocketed-to-highest-levels-since-2008-financial-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">460억 달러</a>를 대손처리(write-off)했다. 뱅크레그데이터(BankRegData)의 데이터에 따르면 이 수치는 2023년 같은 기간에 비해 50% 증가한 것으로 14년 만에 최고치다.
무디스 애널리틱스의 대표인 마크 잔디(Mark Zandi)는 "고소득 가구는 괜찮지만 미국 소비자의 하위 3분의 1은 자금이 바닥난 상태이고, 이들의 저축률은 현재 0이다&#8221;라고 했다.
채무 불이행의 증가는 수년간의 높은 인플레이션과 높은 대출 비용을 유지하려는 연준의 정책에 따라 소비자 개인의 재무적 부담을 강조한다. 초기 지표에 따르면 소비자 부채에 대한 채무 불이행이 증가하고 있다.
미국에서 세 번째로 큰 신용카드 대출업체인 캐피털 원(Capital One)은 11월 기준 연간 신용카드 채무 대손처리율이 1년 전의 5.2%에서 6.1%를 기록했다고 발표했다.
소비자 신용 조사 기관 월렛허브(WalletHub)의 대표인 오디세아스 파파디미트리우(Odysseas Papadimitriou)는 "소비자의 소비력이 약화되었다"고 지적했다. 작년에 거의 600억 달러에 달하는 소비자 신용카드 부채가 대손처리되었지만, 370억 달러가 최소 한 달 이상 연체된 채로 남아 있다.
