Large U.S. banks rallied to fresh record highs on Wednesday as investors cheered on stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, driven by resilient lending income, cost-cutting efforts and a rebound in corporate deal-making sending.
The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) — a widely followed exchange traded fund tracking 88 large financial institutions — rose by 0.6% on Wednesday, surpassing its previous record highs set in late November.
The XLF ETF has now returned 33% over the past year, outperforming the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) by about 10 percentage points.
Notably, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) jointly achieved new all-time highs on Wednesday. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Chart: Financial Sector ETF Outperformed Broader Market Over The Last Year</h1>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="677" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-1024x677.png" alt="" class="wp-image-756304" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-1024x677.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-300x198.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-768x508.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-1536x1015.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240.png 1634w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Yet, there might be still plenty of upside ahead according to Goldman Sachs. 
In a note shared Tuesday, the bank analyst Richard Ramsden highlighted that large banks posted fourth-quarter 2024 earnings 9% above consensus, with net interest income up 2% and margins improving by roughly 100 basis points.
Looking ahead, the investment bank sees continued strength in 2025, driven by improving loan growth, favorable deposit repricing, and an expected increase in share buybacks. These factors prompted Ramsden to increase valuation multiples and upwardly adjust price targets for the banks under coverage.
&#8220;We increase our 12-month target P/Es by 0.5x to reflect higher market multiples, which results in a 4% average increase in the group&#8217;s 12-month price targets, with 10% average upside and 13% average total return,&#8221; Ramsden wrote. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating Rate Cuts: Banks Find Ways To Protect Margins</h1>
While lower interest rates can squeeze bank profits by reducing what they earn on loans, many large banks have been able to adjust their deposit pricing — what they pay customers on savings accounts — more quickly than anticipated.
Faster-than-expected deposit repricing has been a key tailwind for banks, as top institutions saw deposit yields drop 27 basis points quarter-over-quarter, outperforming expectations. 
Corporate and wealth deposits have adjusted nearly one-to-one with Fed rate cuts, reducing funding costs faster than initially anticipated.
While most banks have shortened the duration of their securities portfolios to manage capital risk, Wells Fargo &amp; Co. has gone against the grain, adding longer-term agency mortgage-backed securities to its holdings.
Goldman Sachs notes this strategy could provide additional income stability if rates fall more gradually than expected.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Buybacks And Capital Returns Set To Surge In 2025</h1>
Goldman Sachs forecasts a 55% increase in bank share repurchases this year, potentially reaching $92 billion — the highest level since 2018.
Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) has already announced a $20 billion buyback authorization, while JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. and Wells Fargo have indicated they will ramp up buybacks.
Dividend payout ratios, which currently hover around 30%, could also rise toward pre-2008 levels of 40% to 50%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Capital Markets Activity Rebounding, M&amp;A Pipeline Strongest in Seven Years</h1>
A resurgence in capital markets is fueling optimism, with Goldman Sachs highlighting a sharp recovery in mergers and acquisitions. 
&#8220;Morgan Stanley noted that its M&amp;A pipeline is at the highest level in seven years,&#8221; Ramsden wrote, adding that corporate finance activity could &#8220;resemble the mid-90s cycle if both the market and economy hold up.&#8221;
Mergers and acquisitions pipelines across the industry have surged 16% since the beginning of 2024, while the top five banks&#8217; pipelines are up 9%, and independent investment banks have seen a 24% increase.
Goldman Sachs also highlighted a &#8220;constructive fee income trajectory&#8221; at Wells Fargo, with revenue from investment banking and trading expected to outperform consensus estimates by 5% in 2025 and 2026.
Since the beginning of 2024, industry-wide M&amp;A pipelines have jumped 16%, with independent investment banks leading the surge at 24%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Top Stock Picks: BAC, C, WFC</h1>
Goldman Sachs maintains a bullish stance on Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup and Wells Fargo, with Ramsden citing these as &#8220;the best-positioned stocks&#8221; for 2025.
<ul>
<li>Bank of America (Buy): Expected to outperform peers with 7% NII growth in 2025 and 6% in 2026, driven by loan expansion and favorable deposit trends.</li>
<li>Citigroup (Buy, Conviction List): The bank remains on track to achieve its medium-term targets, with strategic restructuring and capital efficiencies providing significant upside.</li>
<li>Wells Fargo (Buy): The bank's healthy NII trajectory is bolstered by improved deposit pricing and growing investment banking revenues.</li>

Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) shares are trading relatively flat on Tuesday<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener"> despite news of a significant departure</a>.
Ida Liu, the global head of Citigroup&#8217;s private banking arm and one of its highest-ranking female executives, announced her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7289638209846689794/" rel="noreferrer noopener">departure</a> via LinkedIn on Monday morning.
&#8220;After nearly two decades at Citi, including the privilege of serving as the Global Head of Citi Private Bank, I have made the decision to leave the firm and embark on the next chapter of my professional journey,&#8221; Liu writes.
&#8220;Great careers are defined by embracing new challenges and opportunities, and this is the right time for me to leverage my global expertise, leadership experience and passion for growth in bold and exciting new ways,&#8221; the LinkedIn post reads.

Liu&#8217;s departure comes at a critical time as Citigroup is focusing on expanding its wealth division, a key area of growth under CEO Jane Fraser&#8217;s leadership, Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/5485355c-ab49-4961-87fd-15f3a33a417b" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
She did not reveal her next move, but her exit adds to a growing list of senior women leaving the bank.
Liu was instrumental in building relationships with high-net-worth clients in industries like fashion, media, and entertainment. She became head of the North American private bank in 2019 and later led the division globally.
Her exit will reduce the already limited number of senior women executives at Citi, further complicating efforts to strengthen its leadership diversity, the report notes.
&#8220;I am incredibly proud of the strong results we have delivered for Citi over the years,&#8221; Liu adds.
