U.S. regional bank stocks have seen a significant uptrend over the recent weeks, reaching levels reminiscent of those during the onset of the Silicon Valley <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/regional-banks">Bank crisis in March</a>.
The SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), a pivotal gauge tracking more than a hundred industry players, has surged 35% in the past two months, marking its strongest two-month rally since January 2021.

The rally of regional banks has been bolstered by the gradual improvements in financial conditions in the United States, largely attributed to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent shift towards a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36227799/feds-unexpected-dovish-signals-spark-market-euphoria-economists-weigh-in">accommodating monetary policy stance.</a>
Previously, elevated interest rates had placed regional banks in a precarious position. Declining loan demand and rising funding costs had exerted significant pressure on these banks&#8217; net interest margins (NIM).
However, the anticipated decrease in interest rates for 2024 has played a pivotal role in alleviating the strain on regional banks, propelling them to become one of the industries with the most robust performances in the recent market phase.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2024 Economic Outlook </h2>
Regional banks tend to flourish in an environment of solid economic growth, moderate inflation, and decreasing interest rates. 
Conversely, stagflation — characterized by stagnant economic growth paired with rising inflation — can be detrimental to the sector due to lower loan growth and potentially higher deposit interest rates.
A recession coupled with low-interest rates could create a complex scenario for the industry, possibly favoring only the larger, more robust banks. While a slow economy reduces loan demand, banks may benefit from decreased costs.
The latest projections from the Fed suggest a moderate US economic growth of 1.4% in 2024, slightly below the trend and well under the 2.6% growth seen in 2023.
Inflation is expected to decrease to 2.4% by the end of 2024, still marginally above the Fed&#8217;s 2% target. Additionally, the federal funds rate is projected to be cut by 75 basis points to 4.6%, with market expectations leaning towards even steeper rate reductions.

US Regional Banks Set To Erase All Losses Post SVB Fallout: Can They Maintain Momentum In 2024?

Why this information is important: Some types of traders look for momentum in a stock to follow through during the next trading day. A momentum trader may start with a list of stocks which set a new 52-week high over the last day or two, and reduce the list by focusing on stocks which match their strategy or style. Contrarily, another kind of trader may look at stocks recently hitting new 52-week highs as an opportunity for more downside. This kind of trader may use a list of 52-week highs as a way to identify stocks which could have the most room to fall.

'Go deeper: The "fake" memo on Broadcom's CA Technologies takeover' -Axios

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) in July announced a $19-billion acquisition of CA Technologies (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ca#NASDAQ">CA</a>) (formerly known as Computer Associates Technologies) in an attempt to build a leading infrastructure technology company.
Earlier this year, President Trump blocked Broadcom&#39;s acquisition attempt of Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), expressing the national security concerns surrounding 5G networking and the company&rsquo;s ties to China. On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.axios.com/rand-paul-national-security-review-broadcom-ca-merger-92238894-6f0c-4846-b005-6c6bd584d10a.html">Axios reported</a> Sen. Rand Paul called for a federal national security review of the CA acquisition.
<h3>What Happened</h3>
Following Paul&rsquo;s statement, Broadcom released a statement explaining both the validity of the acquisition, as well as the announcement of a fraudulent memo that allegedly circulated around Congress.
&ldquo;We have learned that a fraudulent memo purported to be signed by the U.S. Department of Defense (&quot;DoD&quot;) is circulating among Senators and members of Congress referencing the possible need for review of Broadcom&#39;s acquisition of CA Technologies by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (&quot;CFIUS&quot;). We have been informed by DoD officials that this memo is in fact a forged document.&rdquo;
<h3>Why It&rsquo;s Important</h3>
According to the statement, there&#39;s no basis for legal review of the pending transaction since both companies are based in the U.S.
&ldquo;We have received HSR clearance and the approval of CA shareholders, and we have a clear path to completing the transaction in the fourth calendar quarter of 2018.&rdquo;
Shortly after Broadcom released its statement, Rand Paul&#39;s c<a href="https://twitter.com/dougstafford/status/1050069443882176512">hief strategist tweeted</a>, &quot;No one here has seen a memo or basing the need for CFIUS review on anything other than the obvious national security implications of this merger. Broadcom had national security issues in a CFIUS review just earlier this year and this review should be undertaken immediately.&quot;
Broadcom and CA shares traded lower Wednesday, both down about 2.5 percent at time of publication.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul Says CFIUS Should Review Broadcom Deal 'Immediately'

We have learned that a fraudulent memo purported to be signed by the U.S. Department of Defense (&quot;DoD&quot;) is circulating among Senators and members of Congress referencing the possible need for review of Broadcom&#39;s acquisition of CA Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/CA#NASDAQ">CA</a>) by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (&quot;CFIUS&quot;). We have been informed by DoD officials that this memo is in fact a forged document. Broadcom and CA Technologies are both American companies, and there is no basis in fact or law for CFIUS review of our pending transaction. We have received HSR clearance and the approval of CA shareholders, and we have a clear path to completing the transaction in the fourth calendar quarter of 2018.

Broadcom Says It Has Learned Of Fraudulent Statement Purported To Be Signed By US DOD Referencing Need For Review Of Co.'s CA Technologies Acquisition; Co. Says There Is No Basis For CFIUS Review, Has Clear Path Towards Completing Merger

As the U.S. equities market barrels into 2018&rsquo;s final quarter, the major indices are looking to finish the year pushing to new all-time highs after spending most of the year playing catch up following a late February correction. Subsequent stumbles in traditional bull market leaders like tech and banks stocks have made the bounce a months-long affair.
Now that the S&amp;P and Dow are both above their previous records, let&rsquo;s attempt to suss out which areas of the market are set to carry the year&rsquo;s gains past the finish line using some of the metrics and rankings available on <a href="https://www.finscreener.com/">Finscreener&rsquo;s proprietary stock screener</a>.
There are several approaches to stock analysis we can take with Finscreener&rsquo;s segmented screener categories, but we&rsquo;ll start with a look at which stocks are showing the strongest fundamental upside in the coming weeks into Q3 earnings.
<h3>Fundamental Leaders</h3>
Since we&rsquo;re just looking to get a flavor of which sectors might be best positioned for growth, we&rsquo;ll cast a wide net with our fundamental screen by looking at large cap stocks (+$2bn) above $5 on all three major indexes (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX).
To get a sense of which stocks have the highest growth potential, we&rsquo;ll limit the screen to those with +10 percent upside potential that have reached similar positive price moves over the past year by setting the 52-week price range ration to 10 percent or more. And, for a little extra perspective, let&rsquo;s also check for with a $+10 consensus price target. If we were looking for specific stocks, we could also set a range for all of the categories to narrow our results, but for now we&rsquo;ll keep our survey broad.

You can see that, at the time of the writing, Nektar Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nktr#NASDAQ">NKTR</a>) and Micron Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mu#NASDAQ">MU</a>) are leading the pack on upside potential, However, further down are a smattering of energy and utility outfits like Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pwr#NYSE">PWR</a>) and Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pxd#NYSE">PXD</a>), which seems to make a case for the continued strength in energy and utilities, particularly<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/02/oil-markets-us-sanctions-on-iran-in-focus.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> given the projected upswing in oil prices</a> late in the year.
If you are more interested in what the experts expect from this contingent, you can sort the stocks by analyst outlook which reveals a slightly different picture, with financials like The Western Union Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wu#NYSE">WU</a>) and regional banks like Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hban#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>) and Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rf#NYSE">RF</a>) showing the most bullish growth over the coming quarter as interest rates are expected to rise.

<h3>Technical Leaders</h3>
Of course, in the interest of equal time regulations, let&rsquo;s also take a look at some of the technical factors underlying the market. We&rsquo;ll keep the basic exchange, price and market cap metrics, but add some perspective on how some popular charting indicators might change the outlook.
In this case, We&rsquo;ll look for stocks that have shown positive return on capital as well as those that have also maintained a good momentum range without being overbought, as gauged by return on capital and cash flow index score.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u105576/screen_shot_2018-10-02_at_4.55.15_pm.png" onclick="imce.send('screen_shot_2018-10-02_at_4.55.15_pm.png'); return false;" title=""><img alt="screen_shot_2018-10-02_at_4.55.15_pm.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u105576/screen_shot_2018-10-02_at_4.55.15_pm.png" /></a>
Sorted by those stocks with a mid-range money flow score, finance and again biotech seems to overwhelm the sweet spot on this screen, with Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abt#NYSE">ABT</a>) and Eli Lilly and Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lly#NYSE">LLY</a>) eing a few strong performers this year. Grouped within this selection are several IT names like Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intu#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) and CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ca#NASDAQ">CA</a>) alongside financials CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cme#NASDAQ">CME</a>) and Unum Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/unm#NYSE">UNM</a>). Finally, this breakdown also includes safety investments like energy concerns Pioneer, First Energy Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fe#NYSE">FE</a>) and consumer staples like Hormel Foods Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hrl#NYSE">HRL</a>).
<h3>Finscreener Rankings</h3>
Finally, to cap off this unscientific survey of possible upcoming performance factors, let&rsquo;s take a look at Finscreener&rsquo;s own <a href="https://www.finscreener.com/screener/fs-stock-ranking/definition">proprietary ranking screen</a>, which take into consideration metrics from across, fundamental, technical, valuation management and dozens of other criteria to sort equity performance.

Materials names pepper the list, alongside stocks with healthcare exposure like Boston Scientific Corporation&nbsp; (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bsx#NYSE">BSX</a>) and Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmrn#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>). However, one familiar name again makes an appearance: Pioneer Natural Resources. Given this hat trick, as well as potential inflation occurring globally and the headwinds facing crude utilities might be in for a strong Q4.

3 Screens That Hint At Which Stocks May Outperform In Q4

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)&#39;s second-quarter earnings were so good that one Wall Street analyst said they had no choice but to upgrade the semiconductor company.&nbsp;
<h3>The Analyst</h3>
Nomura Instinet analyst <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/romit-shah">Romit Shah</a> upgraded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo">Broadcom</a> from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/upgrades/18/09/12362788/benzingas-top-upgrades-downgrades-for-september-17-2018">Neutral to Buy</a> and raised the&nbsp;price target from $225 to $300.
<h3>The Thesis</h3>
Broadcom&rsquo;s controversial acquisition of CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ca#NASDAQ">CA</a>) is actually starting to make sense, Shah said in the Monday upgrade note. (See his track record <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/romit-shah">here</a>.)&nbsp;
The company&#39;s strategy is to combine hardware, silicon and software to create unique intellectual property, the analyst said.&nbsp;CA also provides an opportunity for Broadcom to market its ASIC solutions and various hardware products, he said.&nbsp;
In addition to a bullish growth outlook, Shah said&nbsp;Broadcom&rsquo;s $8 billion in 2018 free cash flow will provide an opportunity for the company to boost its dividend payout to $9 per share, which would represent a generous yield of about 3.8 percent.
The analyst expects Broadcom to continue aggressively buying back stock.
Based on Nomura&rsquo;s 2019 and 2020 EPS estimates of $21.19 and $23.26 and Broadcom&rsquo;s long-term earnings multiple average of 13x, Shah said there is plenty of upside to the stock at its current price.
&ldquo;This multiple is based on earnings excluding stock comp. and might be conservative, as CA should boost gross margin above 70 percent&nbsp;while simultaneously lowering wireless revenue to less than 25 percent.&quot;&nbsp;
Broadcom&#39;s recent wireless guidance removes much of the potential uncertainty about wireless revenue growth in fiscal 2020, Shah said.&nbsp;
<h3>Price Action</h3>
Broadcom shares were trading up 0.17 percent to $236.70 at the time of publication Monday.&nbsp;

Nomura Upgrades Broadcom, Sees Dividend Hike Ahead

CA Technologies Stockholders Approve Acquisition By Broadcom; CA Shareholders Will Receive $44.50/Share In Cash

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) <a href=" https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/broadcom-inc-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-year-2018-financial-results-and-quarterly-dividend-300708427.html"> reported</a>&nbsp;13-percent year-over-year third-quarter revenue growth and a&nbsp;21-percent increase in non-GAAP earnings per share on Thursday. The revenue was roughly in line with estimates, while the bottom line exceeded expectations.
The company issued in-line revenue and gross margin guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter.
<h3>The Analyst</h3>
Baird analyst <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/tristan-gerra">Tristan Gerra</a> reiterated an&nbsp;Outperform rating on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/18/09/12320233/7-stocks-to-watch-for-september-7-2018">Broadcom </a> and increased the&nbsp;price target from $290 to $300.
Gera named Broadcom as Baird&#39;s top large-cap semiconductor idea.
<h3>The Thesis</h3>
An attractive valuation; secular growth trends in RF, which is likely to return to double-digit growth in 2020 due to 5G; anticipated share gains; a new Wi-Fi cycle; deep learning ASICs;&nbsp;storage; and other secular growth driver make Broadcom top large-cap semiconductor idea, Gerra said in a Friday note. (See the analyst&#39;s track record <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/tristan-gerra">here</a>.)&nbsp;
Broadcom is a&nbsp;particularly attractive value stock compared to more cyclical semi names, even as the sector adjusts to&nbsp;mid-single digit year-over-year growth into 2019, the analyst said.&nbsp;
Broadcom&#39;s <a href="http://https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/18/07/12012725/broadcom-shares-plummet-after-wall-street-questions-sud">acquisition</a> of&nbsp;CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ca#NASDAQ">CA</a>) should&nbsp;add up to 20 percent to EPS, Gerra said &mdash; a figure the analyst said is not included in Baird&#39;s current estimates. Broadcom&nbsp;sees strong cross-selling synergies with CA&#39;s large enterprise customers, he said.&nbsp;
Broadcom expects ongoing expansion in gross margins for existing products, and operating margin growth as the gross margin ramp outruns R&amp;D spending, according to Baird.&nbsp;
<h3>The Price Action</h3>
Shares of Broadcom have lost about 15 percent&nbsp;year-to-date. The stock was rallying 8.3 percent to $233.90 at the time of publication Friday.&nbsp;

Why this information is important: Some types of traders look for momentum in a stock to follow through during the next trading day. A momentum trader may start with a list of stocks which set a new 52-week high over the last day or two, and reduce the list by focusing on stocks which match their strategy or style. Contrarily, another kind of trader may look at stocks recently hitting new 52-week highs as an opportunity for more downside. This kind of trader may use a list of 52-week highs as a way to identify stocks which could have the most room to fall.

Stocks Which Set New 52-Week High Yesterday, July 31

Nearly a week after Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) stock crashed following the announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/18/07/12012725/broadcom-shares-plummet-after-wall-street-questions-sud">a puzzling $18.9 billion buyout</a> of CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ca#NASDAQ">CA</a>), Broadcom is still getting hate from Wall Street.
<h3>The Analyst</h3>
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari downgraded Broadcom stock from Buy to Neutral and cut his price target from $300 to $220.
<h3>The Thesis</h3>
Like most other analysts who have weighed in on the deal, Hari says CA&rsquo;s software business is outside of Broadcom&rsquo;s core competency, and the buyout has created uncertainty about Broadcom management&rsquo;s long-term strategic vision.
&ldquo;Importantly, we believe management will need to provide greater clarity on its forward strategy and that it will take time for management to gain investors&rsquo; confidence in their ability to achieve their goals,&rdquo; Hari said in a&nbsp;note.
Hari says Broadcom will need to answer a number of important questions in coming months, including whether or not the company is transitioning to a software company, whether its position in the semiconductor market is in jeopardy and whether or not investors should expect additional software buyouts in the future.
While Hari says the CA deal will add up to 9 percent to Broadcom&rsquo;s earnings, the potential benefits for the stock have been outweighed by the negative impact of the uncertainty the deal has created.
Prior to the deal&rsquo;s announcement, Hari was forecasting Broadcom stock&rsquo;s earnings multiple would expand from around 11 to 15, boosted by the company&rsquo;s aggressive capital return plan. Now, he&#39;s expecting the stock to stay in the 11 PE range until the company can clearly demonstrate its intended path forward.
<h3>Price Action</h3>
Broadcom stock traded higher by less than 1&nbsp;percent Wednesday at $209.63.
