<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Banking Sector Performance So Far In 2024</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="447" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-1024x447.png" alt="" class="wp-image-587909" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-1024x447.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-300x131.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-768x336.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-1536x671.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chart:<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent100924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro</a></figcaption></figure>
Thus far, in 2024, the banking sector has shown strong performance. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), which tracks major financial stocks, has risen 21% year-to-date, matching the performance of the broader market as represented by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
However, regional banks have lagged behind their larger counterparts. The SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) is up just 6% year-to-date, though it has outperformed over the past three months. This recent rebound is largely due to falling inflation and increasing expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
With earnings season approaching, the question on many investors&#8217; minds is whether large banks will maintain their positive performance gap over regional players or if recent market developments will impact their results and outlooks. 
Here&#8217;s what Wall Street analysts are saying ahead of the bank earnings season.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Expectations And Top Picks</h3>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets – Gerard Cassidy, co-head of global financials research</h4>
&#8220;We believe the set-up looks very good for banks over the next 12-18 months. We expect the Federal Reserve to cut short-term interest rates by 200-250 basis points over this period, and the finalization of the Basel III &#8216;endgame&#8217; proposal will allow banks to return excess capital through buybacks and dividends. We continue to recommend an overweight position in bank stocks.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Top Picks (RBC holds earnings per share estimates for both above Street consensus for the third quarter)
<ul>
<li>Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>)</li>
<li>KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. – Anthony Elian, CFA</h4>
&#8220;As the Federal Reserve reduces rates, several industry headwinds could turn into tailwinds.&#8221; This includes:
<ol>
<li>Lower deposit costs, improving net interest margins (NIMs)</li>
<li>An uptick in commercial loan demand</li>
<li>Easing credit quality concerns, particularly for banks with commercial real estate (CRE) exposure</li>
<li>A resumption of buyback programs as reserves are released</li>
<li>Increased exit market and venture capital activity.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Top Picks:
<ul>
<li>First Citizens Bancshares Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NYSE">FCNCA</a>)</li>
<li>Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>)</li>
<li>Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNFP#NASDAQ">PNFP</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Wedbush Securities – David J. Chiaverini, CFA</h4>
&#8220;We expect mixed trends for banks in Q3, with modest loan and deposit growth, stabilizing deposit mix shifts, and NIMs benefiting from fixed asset repricing. Some banks will be more positively positioned than others in this environment.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Top Picks:
<ul>
<li>M&amp;T Bank Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>)</li>
<li>Wintrust Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTFC#NASDAQ">WTFC</a>)</li>
<li>Columbia Banking Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLB#NASDAQ">COLB</a>) Wedbush believes Columbia Banking Systems will benefit from a lower rate environment as it is liability-sensitive, unlike most banks that are asset-sensitive.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America – Ebrahim H. Poonawala</h4>
&#8220;We favor regional banks over large money centers heading into Q3, given better net interest income (NII) defensibility and greater capital relief as mark-to-market losses on bond books decrease. Our top ideas going into Q3 earnings include a mix of regionals and larger financial institutions.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Top Picks:
<ul>
<li>U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>)</li>
<li>Western Alliance Bancorporation </li>
<li>PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>)</li>
<li>Fifth Third Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITB#NYSE">FITB</a>)</li>
<li>M&amp;T Bank Corp.</li>
<li>Truist Financial Corporation</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>)</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs Inc.</li>
<li>Bank of New York Mellon Corp.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs – Richard Ramsden</h4>
Goldman Sachs is particularly optimistic about Citigroup heading into Q3 earnings, citing the bank's progress toward its 2024 targets driven by strong fee growth, solid capital markets activity, and robust card volumes. 
Ramsden is above consensus on Citigroup's Q3 pre-provision net revenue (PPNR), largely due to expectations of higher fees and capital markets activity.
<ul>
<li>Top Pick:
<ul>
<li>Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>)</li>
</ul>

Columbia Banking System's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLB#NYSE">COLB</a>) short percent of float has fallen 16.93% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.77 million shares sold short, which is 3.63% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.57 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.

<h3>Comparing Columbia Banking System'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>, Columbia Banking System's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.44%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

JPMorgan (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) intends to grow its corporate banking team across Asia next year to capitalize on increasing business prospects from intra-Asia trades, the innovation economy and payment services. This was stated by Oliver Brinkmann, Asia-Pacific co-head of global corporate banking at the company, in an interview with South China Morning Post.
<h2>Details About JPM&#39;s Strategic Expansion</h2>
Brinkmann said, &quot;We aim to add 10 percent headcount to the corporate banking team across Asia next year.&quot;
The increased headcount will be dispersed across the team&#39;s four divisions: large-cap, mid-cap, innovation economy and subsidiary banking.
In subsidiary banking, the majority of the new talent will be allocated to Southeast Asia and India, while in local corporate banking, additional headcount will be focusing on North Asia, Greater China, Japan, India and Australia, according to Brinkmann.
<h2>JPMorgan&#39;s Rationale Behind This Move</h2>
According to Kerwin Clayton, Asia-Pacific co-head of global corporate banking at JPMorgan, this move aims to enhance the company&#39;s client base by offering a comprehensive set of wholesale banking products and solutions to clients of all magnitudes.
Brinkmann further added, &quot;The velocity of investments has changed. There&#39;s also much more focus on building out a home-based, Asian business for many of the Asian corporates.&quot; Consequently, the bank is investing its resources via broader subsidiary banking and country-specific desks to tap into emerging growth economies such as Korea, Japan, India and China.
The innovation economy has been a key element in JPMorgan&#39;s strategy in the Asia region, which is home to more than 500 unicorns &mdash; start-ups with a valuation of more than $1 billion.
The contribution to the global banking industry by these fast-growing newer firms is meaningful and rising. Thus, establishing relationships with them at an early developmental stage is quite crucial, as per Clayton.
Further, JPM&#39;s corporate banking payment business is another growth driver, which is about to generate $20 billion in revenues globally for the bank, per Brinkmann. &quot;Large corporates in Asia-Pacific hold about US$8 trillion of cash equivalent, and we can offer secure payment ecosystems for global business operations&quot;, he stated.
JPMorgan is using its innovation hub in Singapore to enhance these services. The hub includes a global cybersecurity center and the blockchain platform Onyx to streamline payment processes.
<h2>JPM&#39;s Zacks Rank &amp; Price Performance</h2>
Year to date, shares of JPM have risen 24.3% compared with the industry&#39;s rise of 20.4%.&nbsp;
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/2d/78980.jpg?v=1986766226" />

Currently, JPM carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
<h2>Restructuring Initiatives by Other Banks</h2>
Earlier this month, Columbia Banking System, Inc.&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/colb#NASDAQ">COLB</a>) subsidiary, Umpqua Bank, announced expansion across the Western region with new branches opening in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa by the end of 2024.
Arizona has several fast-growing sectors, including semiconductors, leisure and hospitality alternative energy, healthcare, warehouse distribution centers and data centers. It also hosts a growing number of data centers, serving as a foundation for the emerging generative AI industry. This positions the region as an ideal location for COLB&#39;s long-term expansion strategy.
Similarly, The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bk#NYSE">BK</a>) announced its plans to launch Alts Bridge, an extensive data, software, and services solution. It will cater to rising demand from wealth intermediaries seeking simplified access to alternative and private market investment products via simplified end-to-end investment experience.
This BNY platform has been designed to integrate seamlessly into intermediaries&#39; existing desktops, starting with BNY Pershing X&#39;s Wove advisory platform and NetX360+, incorporating cutting-edge AI and analytics tools to mitigate manual processing and error rates.
It offers a powerful solution to investors, advisors and the home office by providing access to a curated, extensive suite of leading alternative and private asset managers worldwide.

Upgrades

Wedbush Upgrades Columbia Banking System to Outperform, Raises Price Target to $31

Columbia Banking System, Inc.&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/colb#NASDAQ">COLB</a>) subsidiary, Umpqua Bank, announced expansion across the Western region with new branches opening in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa by the end of 2024.&nbsp;
This expansion will support the bank&#39;s plan to improve its services across Arizona to cater to the needs of customers.
<h2>COLB&#39;s Subsidiary Strengthens Presence in Arizona</h2>
Arizona has several fast-growing sectors, including semiconductors, leisure and hospitality alternative energy, healthcare, warehouse distribution centers and data centers. It also hosts a growing number of data centers, serving as a foundation for the emerging generative AI industry. This positions the region as an ideal location for the bank&#39;s long-term expansion strategy.
Umpqua Bank has been expanding its presence in Arizona since 2021 by establishing middle-market banking services. In June 2024, the bank opened its first retail branch in Phoenix, which was followed by a second branch in Scottsdale in August.
Umpqua Bank&#39;s CEO, Clint Stein, said, &quot;Arizona is a priority market for Umpqua Bank. The region&#39;s dynamic business community aligns with our long-term strategy of expanding in markets that demonstrate strong growth potential and further our commitment to being the West&#39;s premier bank of choice.&quot;
<h2>Additional Expansion Efforts by COLB&#39;s Subsidiary</h2>
In addition to its Arizona expansion, Umpqua Bank has been actively broadening its footprint in other regions through several key initiatives. On Sept. 5, 2024, the bank announced the hiring of six experienced bankers to enhance and broaden its services for small and midsize wineries across Northern California. This strategic move is part of the bank&#39;s ongoing efforts to grow its North Coast Wine Specialty Group.
In October 2023, Umpqua Bank opened its first retail branch in Utah to further advance its expansion strategy across the western region of the United States. This new branch in Salt Lake County supports the banking and deposit needs of local consumers and businesses.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Given these expansion efforts, COLB is well-poised to expand its foothold across geographies. Umpqua Bank&#39;s strategic expansion into high-growth markets aligns well with its long-term objectives, enabling it to capitalize on emerging opportunities and drive future success.
In the past six months, shares of Columbia Banking System have gained 34.2% compared with the&nbsp; industry&#39;s growth of 17.2%.<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/88/78505.jpg?v=138977930" />

COLB currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
<h2>Expansion Efforts by Other Banks</h2>
This month, Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hban#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>) announced its plans to expand its banking franchise in North Carolina and South Carolina. HBAN intends to add more than 350 employees across varied business divisions and launch roughly 55 retail branches within the next five years.
In February, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pnc#NYSE">PNC</a>) subsidiary, PNC Bank, announced plans to make an investment of $1 billion to open more than 100 branches and renovate above 1,200 existing locations by 2028. With this, PNC is poised to improve its branch network and extend access to banking services for its customers and communities nationwide.
