Loan Growth Is Newest Challenge For Banks: (KBWB)

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Banks have underperformed this year, returning about 5%—compared with 11.4% for the S&P 500.

That’s somewhat counterintuitive. Overall, bank loan books remain pretty healthy, higher interest rates have helped boost net-interest income, dividends and buybacks have been getting stronger, and loan growth has been decent, in the mid-single digits for mid-cap firms—all of which has helped profit growth for banks.
