<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Financial Stocks Soared In 2024</h3>
The 2024 rally in financial stocks has been driven by a potent cocktail of strong economic growth, declining interest rates, and deregulation optimism.
The U.S. economy demonstrated remarkable resilience, with economic growth accelerating from 1.6% in the first quarter to 3% in the second quarter, and maintaining a solid 2.8% in the third quarter. 
Survey data for December further underscored this momentum, showing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42511277/us-services-sector-booms-at-fastest-pace-since-october-2021-business-activity-leaps-to-over-two-year-highs">private-sector activity expanding at its fastest pace since April 2022</a>, with particularly strong growth in the services sector—the backbone of the financial economy.
Bank of America&#8217;s global economics team recently summarized the sentiment, stating, &#8220;Pro-growth policies like deregulation of financial services and energy, as well as lower taxes, are boosting market sentiment and asset prices.&#8221;
One of the most critical tailwinds was the de-inversion of the U.S. yield curve. The Federal Reserve's decision to ease interest rates, coupled with steady economic growth and resilient inflation, flipped the gap between short- and long-term Treasury yields. This dynamic allowed banks to borrow cheaply via short-term funding and lend at higher, long-term rates—improving net interest margins and boosting profitability.
Mortgage rates, for example, remain high because they are linked to longer-dated Treasury yields, even as interest rates have declined. 
"Economic growth data has been coming in generally better than expected lately, which has helped push Treasury yields higher, while at the same time pricing out the need for an aggressive rate-cutting campaign by the Fed," LPL Financial said in a recent note.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next for Financial Stocks In 2025?</h3>
Heading into 2025, Wall Street sees more tailwinds for the financial sector, particularly from deregulation. "We expect a broad deregulatory push benefiting energy and financial services," Bank of America said. The firm also noted that deregulation in the banking system could ease credit constraints while stabilizing the financial system, especially given the rapid rise of private lending, which remains largely unregulated.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden, large-cap banks remain optimistic about the economy. "Healthy consumer spending trends and strong corporate balance sheets have supported a constructive outlook," Ramsden said in a recent note.
However, regional banks remain cautious about loan growth, with many pointing to a potential rebound in early-to-mid 2025. While client sentiment has improved post-election, this optimism hasn't yet translated into higher lending activity.

Financial Stocks Near Record Year: Could Trump Deregulation Fuel Bigger Gains In 2025?

Wells Fargo analyst Michael Brown maintains Evercore (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>) with a Equal-Weight and raises the price target from $266 to $318.

Wells Fargo Maintains Equal-Weight on Evercore, Raises Price Target to $318

Evercore's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 22.39% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 719 thousand shares sold short, which is 2.01% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.78 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>Evercore Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731519023_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Evercore has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Evercore'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>, Evercore's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.88%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Evercore?

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>
<li>Large Banks: Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.

</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.

Ramsden's picks for banks that stand to gain the most from a steeper yield curve include:
Regional Banks:

</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. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>),&nbsp;Evercore Inc.,&nbsp;Bread Financial Holdings,&nbsp;Piper Sandler,&nbsp;First Citizens BancShares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>),&nbsp;Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>), and&nbsp;Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurers to Benefit from Steeper Curve, P&amp;C Pricing Power</h3>
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. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIG#NYSE">HIG</a>), and&nbsp;The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>), which he believes are better positioned than brokers to benefit from these trends.

<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.

(EVR) - Analyzing Evercore's Short Interest

Key figures in the world of finance are rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris in spite of her past tensions with Wall Street and her potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39999337/survey-reveals-how-americans-feel-about-a-potential-female-president-and-what-it-means-for-kamala-ha">impact on financial sector stocks</a> if elected president.
What Happened: Billionaires such as Jonathan Gray of Blackstone, Marc Lasry from Avenue Capital Management, and philanthropist George Soros are among those endorsing Harris. 
Other high-profile supporters include media mogul Barry Diller and construction industry leader Bob Clark.
Key figures in finance, including Lazard&#8217;s CEO Peter Orszag, Evercore ISI&#8217;s co-founder Roger Altman, and Robert Rubin, ex-co-chairman of Goldman Sachs, are also reportedly backing Harris, Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2024/07/27/kamala-harris-and-wall-street-heres-whos-backing-her-this-time-despite-fraught-history/">reports</a>.
Harris&#8217; stance on financial regulation is not extensively documented. But during her tenure as California&#8217;s attorney general, she negotiated a $20 billion settlement for homeowners with major banks over mismanagement of mortgages during the financial crisis.

According to the Forbes report, in her 2019 memoir, Harris compared a phone conversation with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon during those settlement talks to &#8220;two dogs in a fight.&#8221;
While a potential Harris administration&#8217;s policies towards banks remain uncertain, analysts predict that Donald Trump could be more beneficial to financial firms. Wall Street billionaires who are supporting Trump include former TD Ameritrade chairman J. Joe Ricketts, renowned investor John Paulson, and Stephen Schwarzman, who is Gray&#8217;s superior at Blackstone.
Why It Matters: The support for Harris from prominent Wall Street figures is intriguing given her past confrontations with the financial sector. Her pursuit of big banks during the mortgage crisis and her critical comments about industry leaders suggest a potentially tougher regulatory stance.
However, her backers may be betting on her ability to balance regulation with economic growth. The support from Wall Street could also indicate a desire for stability and predictability in policy-making, which could be beneficial for financial markets.
