Bank Stocks Worth Watching – January 6th

JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America, NU, Synovus Financial, and Citigroup are the five Bank stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Bank stocks are shares of publicly traded banking companies—such as commercial, investment, and diversified banks—that give investors ownership in those firms and exposure to their profits and risks. Their performance is driven by factors like interest-rate levels and net interest margins, loan growth and credit quality, and regulatory conditions, and they often pay dividends but can be sensitive to economic cycles and credit losses. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Bank stocks within the last several days.
