Regional Banks Yet To Recover From SVB Collapse: Time To Invest In The Top Banking ETF?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Regional bank stocks, as tracked by the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:KRE), remain 13% lower than pre-SVB collapse levels. Despite a resilient first quarter for community banks, investor sentiment has not fully recovered. The FDIC reported a significant increase in net income for the banking industry, driven by reduced expenses and better securities sales. Top-performing regional bank stocks in May include Independent Bank Group, New York Community Bancorp, and Flushing Financial Corporation.
