Good evening, Investing in banking stocks isn’t about swinging for the fences. But that doesn’t mean you should settle for a solid single every time. Yet many investors think about bank stocks the same way they think about the banking model itself. There’s safety in the “big banks.” After all, they are too big to fail, right? Well yes, they are too big to fail. We know that. But that just means your deposits are protected. What about your investment dollars? There the story gets a little muddier for the big banks. In fact, the big banks often provide pedestrian total returns for investors. That’s why you should consider investing in regional banks. The benefits of investing in regional banks may surprise you. To begin with, they are generally small- or mid-cap stocks. Second, they generally cost less per share than the big banks. And most offer solid dividends. To be clear, however, regional banks can carry a higher risk than big banks, particularly when interest rates are on the rise. While banks generally do well in a rising rate environment, it can cause depositors to look for a higher interest rate than a regional bank can provide. This was clear in the banking crisis of 2023. And most regional banks sold off hard as they were all labeled guilty by association. But times like that create opportunities for risk-tolerant investors to sort out what’s really going on. In this special presentation, we do just that. We’re looking at seven regional bank stocks with a solid track record of growth and are set up to give investors the potential for a higher total return than the big banks, no matter what is happening in the overall economy. Even if you decide to do your banking elsewhere, these are solid choices for your investment capital.
