FTXO - Sustained Margin Expansion In Sight For U.S. Community Banks
First Trust Nasdaq Bank ETF
2025-02-20 05:00:00 ET
Summary
US community bank margins are set to expand over the next few years, supporting stronger earnings growth in 2025 and 2026.
Community banks will balance growing deposits and lowering rates on their products and will likely need to remain somewhat competitive with the institutional markets.
Credit costs migrated higher in 2024 and should continue to rise into 2025 as consumers become more stretched and higher borrowing costs begin to create challenges.
