Keefe Bruyette analyst Frederick Cannon downgraded his rating on the Universal Banks sector to Market Weight from Overweight. Universal Bank stocks underperformed the broader market this year as loan growth repeatedly disappointed and macroeconomic risks weighed on shares into year-end, Cannon tells investors in a research note. As the analyst looks into 2019, he "does not see enough positive catalysts emerging" that could move the group higher. Cannon says Universal Banks are currently trading at 60% of the S&P 500 based on 2019 consensus earnings estimates, but that relative valuation is not enough to make him stay constructive on the group. His firm last night also downgraded shares of Bank of America (BAC) and Morgan Stanley (MS) to Market Perform from Outperform.

HSBC analyst Saul Martinez raised the firm's price target on Goldman Sachs to $460 from $432 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. After underperforming year-to-date, HSBC is incrementally positive on super regional banks. Citi (C) remains the firm's preferred choice among banks, however. HSBC continues to expect the banks to show improved net interest income in 2H24, generate operating leverage in 2025, and increase share buybacks in 2025 and beyond.
