5 Bank Stocks to Avoid as Financials Falter
It's been a tough quarter for U.S. stock market sectors, especially for financials. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLF) has dropped over 10%, with headwinds such as the Iran war and potential stagflation causing concerns. Analysts predict zero interest rate cuts this year, leading to a repricing of banking stocks. Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) are two to avoid due to lack of expected growth and potential losses from their bond portfolios.
