2026-02-22 14:43:00 ET
It's been nearly two decades since the Global Financial Crisis sparked a wave of bank failures, casting a dark cloud over the financial services sector. Fortunately, things are different today. Broadly speaking, large U.S.-based banks are on solid footing.
That doesn't mean bank stocks will behave like high-octane tech names, but the group is a value destination and an increasingly resurgent source of dividend growth. If there's a "dark side," it's that some investors have long memories. Many of today's market participants were invested during the crisis or old enough during that calamity to comprehend its gravity.
For risk-tolerant traders, this ETF is a great way of being bearish on financial stocks. Image source: Getty Images.
