As we eagerly await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate cuts, it’s time to consider which regional banks are best positioned to benefit from these changes. According to Evercore ISI, a few well-known regional banks stand out as top contenders for increased net interest income in a lower interest rate environment.
In a recent note to clients, analyst John Pancari highlighted Comerica, Truist Financial, U.S. Bancorp, and Fifth Third Bancorp as the banks that are most likely to see a positive impact on their net interest income as the Fed begins cutting rates. These banks have taken proactive steps to become less asset sensitive and more liability sensitive, including strategic balance sheet remixing, securities restructurings, and hedging efforts.
Comerica, U.S. Bancorp, and Fifth Third each forecast two interest rate cuts this year, positioning them well for potential gains in net interest income. While Comerica shares have seen a slight dip after recent outperformance, analysts remain bullish on U.S. Bancorp and Fifth Third, projecting potential upside for both stocks.
