I wouldn't be caught dead investing in banks at the moment after SVB and First Republic Bank fell off the cliff. Maybe when the world is not trying to tear itself to pieces, but it's not a safe beat now.

Now the focus is on the timing of policy easing, and investors will scrutinize what that means for all corners of the lenders’ business, from the health of their loan portfolios to the outlook for deposit rates.“Banks are obviously not as cheap as they were, but at the same time I don’t think people believe the valuations of banks are stretched,” said Richard Ramsden, an analyst at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.If the banks are more upbeat than expected around net interest income, loan growth, capital markets and deposit pricing, “all of that is obviously going to feed through into greater earnings and probably further relative outperformance from some of the banks,” Ramsden said.The KBW Bank Index fell about 1% Thursday, underperforming the broader market which ended the day largely unchanged.On Tuesday, attention turns to earnings from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. That day also brings the first results from the regional lenders, with PNC Financial Services Group reporting, making it a bellwether for regional lenders.The big banks are generally expected to report downbeat results for the fourth quarter amid higher funding costs. Net interest income for the sector looks set to drop, while elevated expenses and weak trading revenue are also likely to weigh on earnings, Goldman’s Ramsden said in a report. Loan growth will probably be modest, he said.The companies are also expected to detail payments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. resulting from the regional bank failures that roiled financial markets early last year. Citigroup said Wednesday that it expects to incur a $1.7 billion cost to replenish the FDIC fund. Meanwhile, Bank of America said it would take a $1.6 billion charge tied to the Libor transition.Turning TideThe tide turned for bank shares last quarter as the prospect of Fed rate cuts in 2024 eased concern over areas such as net interest margins.“Most big bank stocks saw a strong year-end rally that was fueled by optimism that they wouldn’t suffer a major hit to their profitability since the recession risks have greatly diminished,” said David Bianco, chief investment officer for the Americas at DWS Group. “The risk for larger banks to take large loan-loss provision or be forced to write down securities is much lower now.”There’s plenty of reason for caution. The inflation rate remains well above the Fed’s target, and markets are betting on a more aggressive path of rate cuts than the Fed is signaling. JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon this week said he remains skeptical that the Fed’s hikes will succeed in taming inflation without eventually slamming the breaks on the economy.Some analysts are advising investors to temper their enthusiasm.At BMO Capital Markets, James Fotheringham downgraded a handful of US banks and specialty-finance firms on the back of the rally, warning they appear vulnerable to an “impending” credit cycle. UBS Group AG analysts, meanwhile, flagged the risk of “wild swings in sentiment.”“January earnings season may present a speed bump to the sector’s recent momentum,” UBS’s Erika Najarian wrote in a note this week.Over the past four weeks, hedge funds on average have been selling the financial sector, with $200 million in average weekly outflows, while institutions and retail clients were also net sellers, according to data compiled by Bank of America Corp.Still, looking more broadly, over the past month financial companies are the only sector where the majority of analyst earnings revisions were upwards, according to Citigroup Inc. data.Bianco at DWS said he’s keeping an overweight position on big banks including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo due to their robust profitability. Credit has been stable, he says, offsetting a slump in global dealmaking fees, and a pickup in initial public offerings has brightened the outlook.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[{"id":262178565021720,"gmtCreate":1705043184894,"gmtModify":1705044101000,"author":{"id":"4128529562415932","authorId":"4128529562415932","name":"Grumpy Cat","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a6e0322f5b01c133535886ac9ddb5ef","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4128529562415932","authorIdStr":"4128529562415932"},"htmlText":"I wouldn't be caught dead investing in banks at the moment after SVB&nbsp;and First Republic Bank fell off the cliff.
