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

The 2024 U.S. elections didn't just reshape Washington—they reignited <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">the cryptocurrency market</a>, dominated by Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). 
Since November, cryptocurrencies have rallied an impressive 65%, and according to JPMorgan analyst Kenneth B. Worthington, this surge is less about Bitcoin's volatility and more about the promise of regulatory clarity under the incoming Donald Trump administration.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Chaos To Clarity</h2>
The industry's long cry for regulatory guardrails may finally be answered. Worthington points out that Trump's presidency brings a crypto-friendly tone to Washington, positioning the digital asset space for a more legitimate future. The president-elect's pro-crypto Congress and key appointments signal a new era where the focus shifts to defining market structures and clarifying which agencies—SEC or CFTC—will call the shots.

Yet, don't expect fireworks just yet. While optimism runs high, actual regulatory reforms are at least 9-12 months away. From SEC and CFTC chair confirmations to rule-making processes, it's a marathon, not a sprint. 
The most immediate impact? 
FAQs and guidance provide the market with a quick dose of clarity, even as Congress wrestles with permanent legislation, the analyst said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Leading The Charge?</h2>
One major piece of the puzzle remains missing: the CFTC chair nomination. 
This role will likely influence the regulation of Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), two pillars of the crypto world. 
Meanwhile, the industry eagerly awaits to see how the SEC and FDIC might ease traditional finance's entry into crypto. Without some semblance of guidance, even the most pro-crypto stance won't move the needle for banks and brokers, according to Worthington.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Glimpse Into The Future</h2>
What does a more transparent crypto ecosystem look like? 
For starters, exchanges like Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) are already expanding their offerings, onboarding altcoins, and exploring auxiliary services like staking. 
Traditional finance players like Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) are also eyeing their next moves, with the latter pushing for Bitcoin allocations in institutional portfolios, the analyst notes.
The bottom line? 
Regulatory clarity could transform crypto from a speculative playground to a cornerstone of financial innovation. With the Trump administration setting a bullish tone, the crypto market might finally have the chance to break free from its regulatory limbo—and investors are paying attention.

Trump Era Will Unlock Crypto Market With Regulatory Clarity, Says Analyst

Looking into the current session, Charles Schwab Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) shares are trading at $77.54, after a 0.51% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 2.81%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 16.12%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734444011_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Charles Schwab P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 32.32 in the Capital Markets industry, Charles Schwab Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 30.45. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734444011_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.

U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey (D-Ky.) recently disclosed he bought and sold shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) in November, with the transactions occurring shortly after Donald Trump won the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41784933/donald-trumps-wealth-soars-with-2024-election-win-heres-how-much-president-elect-is-worth-ho">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: McGarvey, who has been outspoken throughout the year about Trump, disclosed that he bought shares of the company co-founded by Trump, as shown on the Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/morgan-mcgarvey">Government Trades page.</a>
Benzinga has contacted both McGarvey and Trump Media &amp; Technology group for comment on this story.
The Representative disclosed the following transactions on Dec. 10:
<ul>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000, Sold $1,000 to $15,000, Sold $1,000 to $15,000, Sold $1,000 to $15,000, Sold $15,000 to $50,000 (five separate transactions)</li>
<li>Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Trump Media &amp; Technology: Bought $1,000 to $15,000, Sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
</ul>
All of the transactions were made on Nov. 13, with the exception of DJT, with the buy date listed as Nov. 6 and the sale date listed as Nov. 8.
In the notes sections on the filing, McGarvey said DJT was "purchased without knowledge of filer or spouse." The notes also said that DJT stock was sold for a loss, as <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Morgan%20McGarvey-M001220">reported </a>by Quiver Quant.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The timing of the transaction, which occurred the day after the 2024 election was won by Trump, and the fact that McGarvey is a Democratic member of Congress will likely put a large spotlight on this transaction.
DJT stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41760961/djt-stock-volatile-on-election-day-donald-trumps-media-company-reports-q3-earnings-growth-initiativ">saw huge volatility</a> and a price increase in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election on Nov. 5. McGarvey's buy transaction took place on Nov. 6, the day after the election.
DJT stock traded between $34.13 and $45.77 on Nov. 6 when the shares were bought. On Nov. 8, when shares were sold, DJT stock traded between $26.70 and $33.03. Shares trade at $34.14 at the time of writing Wednesday. 
The DJT trade could contradict McGarvey&#8217;s outspoken stance on Trump.
"In America, no one is above the law. Donald Trump, the convicted felon, is the presumptive Republican nominee for president and he is unfit to serve in any public office, especially the President of the United States," McGarvey <a href="https://mcgarvey.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-morgan-mcgarveys-statement-on-former-president-trump-found-guilty-on-all-34-felony-charges">said </a>back in May when Trump was found guilty on 34 felony charges.
In July, McGarvey also <a href="https://mcgarvey.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-morgan-mcgarveys-statement-on-dismissal-of-trumps-classified-documents-case">shared </a>comments on the dismissal of Trump's classified documents case.  
While McGarvey saw a loss in the DJT trade, he likely profited from selling the Tesla shares. McGarvey reported purchasing Tesla stock on Oct. 25, when shares were priced between $255.32 and $269.49. By Nov. 13, Tesla traded in the range of $322.50 to $344.60, and as of now, the stock stands at $411.52.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-Ga.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41031499/marjorie-taylor-greene-stays-loyal-to-trump-keeps-djt-stock-buys-into-warren-buffetts-berkshire-in-l">previously disclosed buying</a> shares of Digital World Acquisition back in October 2021, the SPAC that took the media company public in March 2024.
The transaction was done with shares trading between $67.96 to $118.80. A tweet from UnusualWhales pins the purchase price at $94.20, meaning Greene is down significantly on her $15,000 to $50,000 purchase of the Trump-linked stock.
DJT Price Action: Trump Media &amp; Technology stock traded at $34.15 Wednesday, versus a 52-week trading range of $11.75 to $79.38.

Democratic Congressman Bought DJT Stock After 2024 Election, Months After Saying Donald Trump 'Unfit To Serve'

Bank of America is bullish on U.S. brokers, asset managers and exchanges heading into 2025, raising price targets across the sector by an average of 14%, citing strong tailwinds from deregulation, rising retail investor engagement and solid U.S. GDP growth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">projected at 2%-2.5%.</a>
In a new report released Wednesday, analyst Craig Siegenthaler dubbed 2025 as the year of &#8220;extensions&#8221; of ongoing trends, amid a fresh boost from a red political sweep and deregulation efforts under a Trump presidency.
According to Bank of America, the red wave of the 2024 elections is also set to open new doors for crypto and alternative investments (Alts) and give brokers and asset managers room to shine.
The report highlights three top Buy-rated stocks — Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OWL#NYSE">OWL</a>), Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>), and Tradeweb Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TW#NASDAQ">TW</a>) — and two key Underperformers: Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) and Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>).
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Alts: Blue Owl Leads The Charge</h1>
Alternative asset managers (Alts) are primed for a strong year, with Blue Owl Capital emerging as the standout pick.
<ul>
<li>Buy Rating and $33 price target. Bank of America expects a four-fold earnings per share (EPS) growth by 2027.</li>
<li>Valuation: Blue Owl trades at just 16x its 2027 EPS, offering a 4% dividend yield.</li>
<li>Earnings Quality: Remarkably, 100% of Blue Owl's EPS is Fee-Related Earnings (FRE), and nearly all of its asset under management (AUM) is locked in either permanently or long-term capital.</li>
<li>Secular Growth Drivers: Key tailwinds include retail access to Alts (via RIAs), insurance partnerships, and consolidation among general partners.</li>
</ul>
Siegenthaler highlighted Blue Owl's unique position: "Under-owned, undervalued and underappreciated.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Brokers: Interactive Brokers In A &#8220;Goldilocks&#8221; Setup</h1>
Interactive Brokers is Bank of America&#8217;s top broker pick for 2025, as solid U.S. GDP growth (2.0%-2.5%) and sticky inflation (&gt;2.5%) create a "Goldilocks" environment for brokers.
Bank of America is also bullish on Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), seen as &#8220;best-positioned given high tech/low legacy cost models with strong innovation track records.&#8221;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Interactive Brokers </h4>
<ul>
<li>Buy Rating and $288 price target</li>
<li>Fundamentals: Interactive Brokers boasts an operating margin of over 70%, with incremental margins exceeding 80%. It also holds $7 billion in excess capital, which supports reinvestment and growth.</li>
<li>Competitive Edge: The broker's tech-first approach, including investments in R&amp;D and innovative tools like its Global Trader app, has spurred 20-40% annual account growth.</li>
<li>Valuation: &#8220;Undervalued due to unique set of factors — float, voting rights/control, capital retention.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Exchanges: Tradeweb Offers Long-Term Growth</h1>
Tradeweb Markets is Bank of America's top pick among exchanges due to its wide product breadth, first-mover innovation, and long-term visibility.
<ul>
<li>Buy Rating and $205 price target</li>

Charles Schwab, Goldman Sachs Boosts MARA Stake As Stock Rallies 30% In Past 6 Months: Morgan Stanley, Other Major Funds Trim Positions In Q3

U.S. regulators approved the nation&#8217;s first 24-hour stock exchange on Wednesday, marking a significant shift in American securities trading as retail investors increasingly demand round-the-clock market access.
What Happened: The Securities and Exchange Commission granted approval to 24 Exchange, backed by Steve Cohen&#8216;s Point72 Ventures, following the startup&#8217;s second application attempt. 
The approval comes amid growing momentum for extended trading hours, with Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) recently announcing plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/10/41627496/schwab-expands-24-hour-trading-to-include-all-stocks-in-s-p-500-nasdaq-100-hundreds-of-etfs">expand 24-hour trading access</a> to all S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks by 2025.
The exchange will launch in two phases, beginning with regular trading hours before expanding to overnight sessions between Sunday and Friday. A one-hour operational pause will occur during each trading day to accommodate routine software upgrades and functionality testing. 
This development follows Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) offering 24-hour trading of more than 1,000 tickers and NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) filing to extend NYSE Arca trading to 22 hours daily.

Why It Matters: &#8220;Traders are most at-risk when the market is closed in their geographic location,&#8221; said Dmitri Galinov, CEO and founder of 24X. &#8220;We will seek to alleviate this problem by facilitating around-the-clock U.S. equities trading.&#8221;
The approval represents a significant evolution from traditional stock trading hours, bringing equity markets closer to the continuous trading seen in cryptocurrencies and foreign exchange markets. 
The move comes after 24 Exchange&#8217;s strategic pivot from cryptocurrency trading in 2023 when it discontinued its spot crypto product amid regulatory pressures and declining interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/06/32981451/steve-cohen-backed-24-exchange-pulls-the-plug-on-spot-crypto-trading-as-regulatory-pressur">following the FTX collapse</a>.
