Shares of financial companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Erie Indemnity shares are trading higher after the company announced it increased its quarterly cash dividend from $1.275 to $1.365.

At its regular meeting held&nbsp;Dec. 10, 2024, the Board of Directors of Erie Indemnity Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>) set the management fee rate charged to Erie Insurance Exchange, approved an increase in shareholder dividends and declared the regular quarterly dividend. Erie Indemnity Company has paid regular shareholder dividends since 1933.
The Board agreed to maintain the current management fee rate paid to Erie Indemnity Company by Erie Insurance Exchange at 25 percent, effective Jan. 1, 2025. The management fee rate was 25 percent for the period Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2024. The Board has the authority under the agreement with the subscribers (policyholders) at Erie Insurance Exchange to set the management fee rate at its discretion; however, the maximum fee rate permissible by the agreement is 25 percent. This action was taken based on various factors including consideration and review of the relative financial positions of Erie Insurance Exchange and Erie Indemnity Company.
The Board also agreed to increase the regular quarterly cash dividend from $1.275 to $1.365 on each Class A share and from $191.25 to $204.75 on each Class B share. This represents a 7.1 percent increase in the payout per share over the current dividend rate. The next quarterly dividend is payable Jan. 22, 2025, to shareholders of record as of Jan. 7, 2025, with a dividend ex-date of Jan. 7, 2025.

Erie Indemnity Increases The Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend From $1.275 To $1.365 On Each Class A Share

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;leading the country for the last&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly four years.</a>
Not all stocks went up with Biden in office and investors may want to take a look back at the worst performing stocks of 2021 to prepare themselves for what could be ahead with the 2024 election nearing.
What Happened:&nbsp;Biden stepped down from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2024 presidential election&nbsp;</a>earlier this year. While the current president won&#8217;t be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;is victorious in Tuesday&#8217;s election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>),&nbsp;was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a>&nbsp;This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
While many stocks were up in 2021, not all of the publicly traded companies had positive returns on the year.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.

<li>Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Global Payments (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, financials</li>
<li>Market Axess (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, financials</li>
<li>Viatris (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, health care</li>
<li>Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): -24.4%, media/entertainment</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, technology</li>
<li>Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>): financials</li>

<li>Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, insurance</li>

The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list. Peak at the top<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24848823/10-worst-performing-s-p-500-stocks-of-2021"> 10 best performing</a> S&amp;P 500 stocks here.

What's interesting for investors could be the correlation for some stocks based on who was in the White House.
Wynn Resorts was the fourth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017 under Trump, but was an underperformer in 2021 under Biden. PayPal was the eighth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, but was an underperformer in 2021.
The results above could show that financials and casino stocks could be underperformers if Harris wins the presidency based on the past results and Democratic Party leadership.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many adverse events.

Shares of insurance companies are trading lower while Floridians experience evacuation orders as Category 5 Hurricane Milton approaches the state. The region is still recovering from damage due to Hurricane Helene.

The S&amp;P 500 is a widely recognized benchmark for the US stock market, and it has undergone reshuffling due to the quarterly rebalancing process. This shake-up, driven by shifts in company performance and market capitalization, provides a unique lens into the evolving dynamics of the business world. The inclusion of several companies reflects a changing market terrain. Conversely, the departure of others underscores the challenges and transitions faced within their respective industries.&nbsp;
<h2>A Glimpse Into the S&amp;P 500</h2>
The S&amp;P 500 index is a market capitalization-weighted index, meaning that companies with a larger market cap have a more significant influence on the index&#39;s performance. This index is a barometer of the US stock market, offering investors a diversified representation of the largest publicly traded companies. Each quarter, S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices carefully reviews and adjusts the S&amp;P 500 to reflect changes in company performance and market capitalization. The most recent rebalancing saw three companies join the index and three companies leave the index.&nbsp;
<h3>Palantir: Data Analytics Powerhouse Enters the Big League</h3>
Palantir Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pltr#NYSE">PLTR</a>) is a leading data analytics and software company that has joined the S&amp;P 500 index, signifying its significant growth and market influence. Palantir specializes in real-time data analysis and prediction services, leveraging advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to unlock insights for diverse clients, including government agencies, financial institutions, and healthcare organizations.
Palantir&#39;s stock has experienced a remarkable 160% surge over the past 12 months and over a 100% increase year-to-date (YTD), reflecting the increasing demand for data-driven solutions. The company&#39;s expertise has attracted significant contracts, including a $480 million deal with the US Department of Defense. This commitment from the defense sector, combined with a growing commercial presence, underscores Palantir&#39;s adaptability across various industries.
Palantir&#39;s inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 is a significant milestone leading to increased investor awareness, access to a broader range of investors, and inclusion in various index funds. This inclusion solidifies Palantir&#39;s position as a significant player in the expanding data analytics sector.
<h3>Dell Technologies: A Technology Giant Reinforces Its Position</h3>
Dell Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dell#NYSE">DELL</a>) is a long-standing leader in the technology industry, and it has further cemented its standing by joining the ranks of the S&amp;P 500. The company&#39;s diverse portfolio, encompassing computer hardware, software, and comprehensive IT solutions, positions it as a major player in the ever-evolving technology sector.
Dell&#39;s enduring success stems from its ability to adapt to changing market demands and innovate across its key segments: PCs, servers, storage, and software.
The company&#39;s recent performance reflects this adaptability, with a healthy stock price increase of 67% over the past 12 months and over 50% YTD. This growth trajectory is driven by Dell&#39;s commitment to expanding its product offerings, particularly in cloud computing and cybersecurity, which are crucial for businesses navigating an increasingly complex digital environment.
Dell&#39;s inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 signifies its continued relevance in the technology industry and signals a strong potential for further growth. As the company leverages its comprehensive solutions and embraces emerging technological trends, investors will watch closely to see how Dell continues navigating the changes happening in the tech sector.&nbsp;
<h3>Erie Indemnity: A Steady Hand in a Volatile Market</h3>
While Palantir and Dell represent the cutting edge of tech innovation, Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/erie#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>) offers a different perspective on the S&amp;P 500. This property and casualty insurance company is known for its focus on specific market niches and for providing a steady hand in a volatile market.
Erie Indemnity stands out for its deep expertise in the auto insurance market, a segment where it has built a solid reputation for its customer-centric approach and competitive pricing. This strategic focus has been a key driver of its success, allowing it to navigate industry fluctuations and build a loyal customer base.
Despite the challenges faced by the insurance industry, Erie Indemnity has maintained consistent growth. Its stock has gained around 80% over the past 12 months and 55% YTD, showcasing a track record of steady growth. This performance reflects the company&#39;s ability to manage risk effectively and cater to the evolving needs of its target audience. As the auto insurance market continues to evolve, Erie Indemnity&#39;s focus on niche expertise and its commitment to financial health make it an attractive investment option for those seeking consistent, stable returns.
<h2>Departing Companies: A Look at Industry Shifts and Market Performance</h2>
The quarterly rebalancing of the S&amp;P 500 often sees companies move to smaller indices, reflecting changes in market dynamics and adjustments in their respective industries.&nbsp;
<h3>American Airlines: Navigating Turbulent Skies</h3>
American Airlines (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aal#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) has faced significant headwinds in recent months. The company&#39;s stock price has declined by 15% over the past 12 months and 20% YTD, reflecting the challenging operating environment for airlines.
Factors such as rising fuel costs, increased competition, and the ongoing uncertainties in the travel sector have contributed to these declines.
American Airlines&#39; transition to the S&amp;P MidCap 400 reflects these challenges and signals the company&#39;s current market position within the broader airline industry.
<h3>Etsy: A Handcrafted Marketplace With Growing Competition</h3>
Etsy (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/etsy#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) is an online marketplace for handmade and vintage goods that has also experienced stock price declines, falling by 16% over the past 12 months and 34% YTD.
This decline can be attributed to several factors, including growing competition from other online marketplaces, the increasing popularity of mass-produced goods, and evolving consumer preferences.
Etsy&#39;s shift to the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 index reflects its current position within the increasingly competitive e-commerce sector.
<h3>Bio-Rad Laboratories: Changing Trends in Life Sciences</h3>
Bio-Rad Laboratories (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bio#NYSE">BIO</a>) is a leader in life sciences research and diagnostics, and the company has experienced a stock price decline of nearly 15% in the past three months and 6% over the past year.
These fluctuations are linked to broader life science industry trends, including regulatory changes, R&amp;D investment levels, and the evolving terrain of scientific research.
Bio-Rad&#39;s move to the S&amp;P MidCap 400 index reflects these market dynamics and signals the company&#39;s current position within the life sciences sector.
<h2>S&amp;P 500 Rebalancing: A Glimpse Into Market Dynamics</h2>
The recent S&amp;P 500 rebalancing gives investors a snapshot of the evolving market terrain. The inclusion of data analytics leader Palantir Technologies and tech giant Dell Technologies signals the growing significance of these sectors. Meanwhile, the departure of companies like American Airlines reflects certain industries&#39; challenges. Investors can gain valuable insights into potential growth areas and industry trends by keeping an eye on the companies entering and leaving the index.
