Hello -
During times of market volatility, investors look for safety wherever they can find it. And in that flight to safety, bank stocks are usually high on their watchlists. Bank stocks skew more to the value side rather than the growth side of your portfolio. They aren’t known for delivering spectacular annual stock price growth. But these stocks tend to pay safe dividendsthat give investors the benefit of compounding over time. The reason for this stability is that banks have a tried-and-true business model that means investors can count on reliable revenue and earnings. And because they provide a vital service to businesses of all sizes, bank stocks are closely watched by both buy-side and sell-side analysts. That means there’s no shortage of opinions about the outlook for bank stocks. And although analysts can get it wrong, they have access to information that many retail investors lack. Why is that information important? Because many investors aren’t bankers. And even if you know how to read a balance sheet, there are things to look for in a bank’s balance sheet that require a trained eye. That’s the basis for this special presentation. We’re giving you a list of seven bank stocks that are rated highly by analysts. This makes them solid choices for investors who are looking for stocks that provide a measure of safety. One reason is that the bank stocks on this list perform well regardless of what is happening with interest rates. Rising interest rates tend to be bearish for bank stocks. But there are enough quality bank stocks available that you can find options that fit your portfolio without having to go beyond your normal due diligence. In this special presentation, we give you seven bank stocks that make great investments regardless of prevailing economic conditions. View the 7 Bank Stocks That Make Great Long-Term Investments
