Shares of banks and financial services stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate macro uncertainty in the lending and deal environment.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing U.S. Bancorp's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, U.S. Bancorp's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.13%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Oppenheimer Maintains Outperform on U.S. Bancorp, Raises Price Target to $59

Forget about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44988897/china-trade-war-4-big-brand-stocks-that-will-suffer-most">trade wars</a> and inflation. One actor of the US economy is doing great, with stocks up 2.5% even before this week&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44988781/wall-street-rally-extends-into-third-day-whats-driving-markets-thursday">rally</a>.
Schwab analysts even issued a collective &#8220;buy&#8221; call on these stocks, citing value and stability in the sector.
&#8220;Some (financial) segments benefited from rising interest rates, which allow banks to lend at higher rates and insurance companies to increase returns on collected policyholder premiums,&#8221; Schwab said in a new research note. &#8220;The economy has proven to be relatively resilient in the face of one of the most aggressive tightening cycles in history.&#8221;
On the risk side, company analysts cite trade wars and reduced consumer spending as issues that could hold back bank stocks. &#8220;If sweeping tariffs kick in and slow growth materially, financials could struggle as consumers pull back on spending, businesses reduce investment, and lending slows,&#8221; Schwab noted.
Other Wall Street watchers agree, adding that some banking sectors are looking better than others at the moment.
&#8220;Bank stocks have been relatively mixed, large-cap U.S. banks have held up better than smaller regional banks, which remain under pressure from credit tightening, CRE (commercial real estate) exposure, and flattened yield curves,&#8221; said Fabio Ruggeri, founder and CEO of MenthorQ, a trading technology company in Miami, Fla. &#8220;While the big banks benefit from scale, trading revenue, and global exposure, the regional banks are still digesting the fallout from last year&#8217;s rate shocks and deposit flight.&#8221;
Short-term Federal Reserve actions, along with significant industry risks that could split the sector, are also in play.
&#8220;If the Fed pivots later in the year and the yield curve begins to normalize, net interest margins could improve,&#8221; Ruggeri said. &#8220;But risks tied to CRE, credit quality, and deposit competition are still in play. Investors should expect continued bifurcation. Stronger names will pull away from the weaker ones.&#8221;
Here are the three best stocks to buy in this outperforming sector.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Bank Stocks to Play Right Now</h2>
With talk of tariffs and trade wars watering down the markets right now and multiple risk factors (and opportunities) on the table, which bank stocks make the most sense right now? Here&#8217;s a sector snapshot.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Bancorp&nbsp;</h2>
The fifth-largest bank in the country, US Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>), saw its shares fall in 2025, down 20.1% year-to-date. Yet sector analysts are buzzing over the banking giant&#8217;s Q1 earnings beat, with multiple analysts backing the stock. On April 17, Barclays revised its price target for USB from $56 to $61 and maintained an &#8220;Outperform&#8221; on the stock. Noting that Q1 had beaten expectations, Barclays said USB impressed with more substantial fee income, more robust net interest income, and a better grip on expenses.
&#8220;I do like U.S. Bank right now,&#8221; said David Capablanca, a veteran trader and founder and host of the Friendly Bear Podcast. &#8220;Like many of the major banks have had a pullback, it&#8217;s an opportunity to dip buy. And you don&#8217;t just buy all at once &#8211; plan to scale in over three to six months, average in once a month.&#8221;
Consequently, if the stock is going lower, you&#8217;re averaging in, and if it&#8217;s consolidating and rising higher, you&#8217;re still gradually getting into a good position in USB stock. &#8220;It&#8217;s a very low-risk strategy to average into a safe, big-name bank stock,&#8221; Capablanca added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Morgan Stanley</h2>
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) is another big bank stock that has been trending downward but appears to be in bounce-back mode.
Like other big banks, Morgan Stanley has been recording significant gains in trading revenue lately. Its trading desk works closely with large institutional investors to manage portfolio risk and look for opportunities before and during this year&#8217;s tariff skirmishes. All in all, Morgan Stanley said its trading revenues were up 45% in Q1.
&#8220;Morgan relies less on traditional banking and focuses more on affluent wealth and investment exposure, which usually leads to diversified earnings,&#8221; Ruggeri said. Toss into the mix a healthy dividend of 3.39% in mid-April, and Morgan Stanley seems like another bank stock loaded with opportunity right now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Chase</h2>
JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) shares are performing better than their sector competitors but are still down 3.2% so far in 2025. However, they are up 27% over the last year and have a strong history of stable management and reliable share performance.
&#8220;JPM is the gold standard of large U.S. banks,&#8221; Ruggeri said. &#8220;It has a strong balance sheet, diversified revenue, and deposit resilience.&#8221;
Other market experts agree.
&#8220;JPMorgan Chase continues to stand out — not just as a big bank, but as a highly disciplined and forward-thinking institution,&#8221; said Christopher Migliaccio, founder at Warren and Migliaccio, LLC, a law firm that handles asset management issues for its clients.
JPM&#8217;s most recent quarterly earnings showed the investment banking behemoth easily beat analyst expectations while boosting guidance on consolidated net interest income by $500 million, a metric that banking industry analysts have historically cited as key to overall future earnings.
USB is on board with JPM, hiking its price target from $277 to $305, citing higher Q1 earnings, larger trading revenues (for the same reasons as Morgan Stanley), and a strong dividend yield (2.41%).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway On Bank Stocks</h2>
Capablanca offers specific advice for regular investors seeking opportunities in the banking sector.
&#8220;Just don&#8217;t go for the higher-risk banks,&#8221; he advised. &#8220;Stick with the big ones, like Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Schwab, and JPMorgan. The big ones are the safest bets out there.&#8221;

Shares of financial companies are trading higher amid overall market strength after President Trump said he will not be firing Fed Chair Powell. Additionally, Trump indicated the final tariff rate would be lower than the current one, which may lead to greater business and lending activity for financial institutions.

Shares of financial companies are trading higher amid Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks about trade de-escalation with China, which may help restore investor confidence towards the sector.

A growing number of cryptocurrency companies are preparing to enter the U.S. banking system, propelled by a policy shift under President Donald Trump aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42644568/institutional-crypto-adoption-for-real-this-time-says-messari">integrating digital assets into mainstream finance</a>.
What Happened: Firms like Circle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) and BitGo are planning to apply for bank charters, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/crypto-knocks-on-the-door-of-a-banking-world-that-shut-it-out-082b3968">reported</a>, quoting sources.
Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Paxos are also exploring regulatory approvals to operate with similar authority. 
These developments follow the Trump administration's commitment to establishing the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets, including through new legislation targeting stablecoin oversight.
Recent bills moving through Congress propose a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44516699/u-s-congress-advances-stablecoin-regulation-with-the-introduction-of-the-stable-act">regulatory framework for stablecoins</a>, mandating that issuers secure banking licenses or charters.
These digital tokens, typically pegged to fiat currencies, are used as a bridge between volatile cryptocurrencies and traditional money.
Some crypto firms are aiming for national trust bank or industrial bank charters that are essentially licenses that would allow them to hold customer deposits or issue loans. 
Others are seeking limited permissions specifically for issuing stablecoins.
BitGo, a crypto custody firm and reserve manager for the Trump family's stablecoin project USD1, is nearing the submission of its bank charter application, according to individuals familiar with its plans.
Anchorage Digital, currently the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., has invested tens of millions of dollars to meet regulatory standards.

CEO Nathan McCauley acknowledged the operational challenges, saying, "It has not been easy," but emphasized the importance of intertwining full regulatory compliance with the crypto sector.
Anchorage recently became a custodian for BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) and partnered with Cantor Fitzgerald and Copper on a $2 billion bitcoin-backed lending initiative. 
Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>), the world's largest stablecoin by market cap at $145 billion, is a major Cantor client.
This integration marks a reversal from two years ago when the collapses of crypto firms and banks like Silvergate and Signature led to a regulatory clampdown, forcing traditional financial institutions to distance themselves from the crypto sector.
Why It Matters: Trump's return to office has changed the tone.
Regulations that once required banks to seek explicit approval before offering crypto services have been softened, and new federal guidance on bank-crypto relationships is expected later this year.
Legacy financial institutions are adjusting course. 
Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) CEO Brian Moynihan said in February the bank is prepared to issue a stablecoin once legal clarity is established. 
U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>) has also resumed crypto custody services via a partnership with NYDIG.
International banks are taking note. 
A consortium including Deutsche Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) and Standard Chartered (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCBFF#OTC">SCBFF</a>) is exploring expansion into the U.S. crypto market. Deutsche Bank declined to comment, and Standard Chartered did not respond.
However, caution persists in some corners. 
KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>) CEO Chris Gorman noted potential competitive threats from crypto and cited regulatory concerns, particularly around transparency and anti-money laundering enforcement. "It's hard to trace," he said.

Here are some key analyst takeaways.

<li>Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/595e3a7c988ca80001dc7d9c/richard-ramsden">analyst Richard Ramsden</a> maintained a Neutral rating, while reducing the price target from $44 to $42.</li>

<li>Raymond James <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ca96e4b85e930001f446e0/david-long">analyst David Long</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating, while reducing the price target from $57 to $51.</li>
<li>Truist Securities analyst John McDonald maintained a Hold rating and price target of $51.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Goldman Sachs: US Bancorp reported first-quarter earnings of $1.03 per share, beating consensus of $1.01 per share. Management guided to second-quarter net interest income of $4.1 billion to $4.2 billion, representing sequential growth, Ramsden said in a note.
The bank expects NII growth to continue through the year, "benefiting from fixed asset repricing, repositioning to higher yield loan categories as well as continued deposit repricing," the analyst wrote. Management reaffirmed their 2025 guidance to reflect total revenue growth of 3%-5%, he further stated.
DA Davidson: US Bancorp delivered a "clean quarter," with an earnings beat that was driven by fee income coming in sequentially flat at $2.836 billion, Winter said. He added that credit quality was strong, leading to provision expenses declining by $23 million to $537 million.
Management's total revenue growth guidance of 3%-5% reflects modest loan and deposit growth, the analyst stated. Gunjan Kedia, who took over as CEO on April 15, is "determined to have USB regain its premium valuation with a real sense of urgency.&#8221;
Raymond James: US Bancorp reported broadly in-line net interest margin, while reiterating its medium-term NIM target of 3.00% by 2027, Long said. The company also mapped out the steps to reach this target, he added.
"Incorporating a +3.0% NIM and +$700 billion balance sheet into 2027 results in at least 10% annual NII growth," the analyst wrote. This was the second consecutive quarter in which the bank achieved positive operating leverage, he further stated.
Truist Securities: US Bancorp&#8217;s earnings call focused on the achievement of medium-term targets under Kedia, McDonald said. There was no change in the bank's overall strategy of prudently managing expenses, growing organically, and transforming its payments businesses.
Management aims to strike a balance between growth and profitability in payments, "with the expectation that it will grow volumes in-line with the U.S. industry, while leaning into areas where it makes sense from a profitability/margin perspective," McDonald wrote.
Price Action: At the time of publication on Wednesday, shares of US Bancorp had risen by 2.14% to $38.61.
