Oppenheimer Downgrades JPMorgan Chase to Perform

Shares of cryptocurrency company Bakkt Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKKT#NYSE">BKKT</a>) soared on reports that Donald Trump's media company could be eying an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42048594/trump-digs-deeper-into-cryptocurrency-bakkt-shares-soar-on-reported-interest-from-president-elects-media-company">acquisition of the company.</a>
While investors who got into the stock early Monday are up big, one hedge fund may have had perfect timing less than a week ago.
What Happened: A report from the Financial Times linked Bakkt Holdings with being the subject of a takeover report from Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTJ#NASDAQ">DTJ</a>).
Bakkt shares opened for trading at $11.31 on Monday before closing the day up 162.7% to $29.71. The stock was trading another 6.36% higher Tuesday afternoon at $31.59. 
The company said it would not comment on "market rumors or speculation.&#8221;
Hedge fund Highbridge Capital, which is a <a href="https://www.highbridge.com/">unit </a>of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), recently took a large stake in the cryptocurrency company.
A 13G <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/919185/000090266424006542/p24-3248sc13g.htm">filing </a>issued Thursday shows that Highbridge Capital purchased 692,042 Class A shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. The purchase was listed as representing 9.9% of Bakkt based on 6.32 million shares outstanding.
While the filing did not list a purchase price, the investor may be up millions of dollars on the trade depending on the timing.
Bakkt shares traded at a high of $13.05 on Thursday. An investor could have purchased the equivalent of 692,042 shares for $9,031,148.10.
Based on a price of $33.50 for Bakkt shares at the time of writing, the 9.9% stake and 692,042 shares are now worth $23,183,407. This means Highbridge Capital could be up around $14.15 million on its recent purchase, a cool 156.7% gain in less than a week.

</ul>
What's Next: News of the reported acquisition come as Trump Media &amp; Technology co-founder Trump is set to return to the White House in January. 
Trump is viewed as a more pro-crypto friendly president than the past administration based on his 2024 election campaign.
Bakkt, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/04/20550003/3-cryptocurrency-spacs-that-could-run-on-a-successful-coinbase-ipo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">which went public </a>in October 2021 via SPAC merger, is backed by New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>), which owns a reported 55% of the company.
Bakkt&#8217;s first CEO was former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler, who represented the state of Georgia as a Republican. Loeffler is helping to organize Trump&#8217;s inauguration in January and has close ties to the president-elect.
Bakkt&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39234822/bakkt-holdings-explores-potential-sale-or-breakup-amid-crypto-sector-consolidation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said in June</a>&nbsp;it was exploring strategic alternatives that could include a sale or breakup of the company.
The company previously said its crypto custody business could be wound down. This segment might not be included in a buyout, according to the FT report. Bakkt is planning to build a crypto trading platform geared toward institutional investors.
DJT shares have experienced high volatility and an increased valuation after Trump won the 2024 election.
An acquisition of Bakkt would push Trump&#8217;s media company and the president-elect deeper into the cryptocurrency sector, which comes after he promoted a crypto venture called&nbsp;World Liberty Financial&nbsp;with business partners.
BKKT, DJT Price Action: Bakkt stock is up 6.36% to $31.59 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $5.57 to $68.75. Bakkt stock is down 40.4% year-to-date in 2024.

Spotlight on JPMorgan Chase: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Jamie Dimon, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40914747/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-thinks-social-media-platforms-like-tiktok-and-facebook-are-a-total-stupid-w">outspoken CEO</a> of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), isn&#8217;t pulling any punches regarding his feelings about U.S. financial regulations. In a fiery speech at a recent conference, Dimon made it clear that the banking industry is fed up with what he describes as overlapping, ill-conceived rules. He's had enough and it&#8217;s time, he says, to &#8220;fight back.&#8221;

</ul>
According to Dimon, regulations like capital requirements, card payments and open banking have gotten out of control. He thinks these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41586685/jamie-dimon-rips-stupid-calculations-in-proposed-banking-reforms-calls-for-regulatory-overhaul">regulations hurt companies, </a>particularly smaller ones and prevent growth rather than make the financial system safer. He stated that lower-paid people ultimately face the weight of limited access to financial services.
At the heart of his argument is a belief that banks are getting pushed around by regulators and that it&#8217;s time to push back. He compared the current situation to a knife fight, where bringing a knife is the only way to have a chance. For Dimon, that means not shying away from lawsuits and direct challenges to what he calls unfair regulations.&nbsp;

One point of contention is the Basel III endgame – a set of proposed rules to align U.S. banking standards with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. While regulators argue that these changes will make the industry more resilient to economic shocks, Dimon sees things differently. To him, it's all about the details and he's not convinced that these tweaks are in the best interest of banks or their customers.
Dimon also criticized how card-issuing companies like American Express and Discover can charge more for debit card transactions, while banks face strict limits. To him, this is just another example of a regulation that's &#8220;grossly unfair.&#8221;

Another target of Dimon&#8217;s criticism was the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/10/41599526/new-consumer-financial-regulations-unlock-data-for-ai">Consumer Financial Protection Bureau</a> (CFPB). Although their recent decision to facilitate client switching between financial service providers sounds like a win for customers, to Dimon, it creates opportunities for fraud and data breaches. He's not against open banking in theory but he's ready to fight any policy that puts consumers at risk.
And while his name often gets thrown into the ring for top government roles like Treasury Secretary, Dimon has been clear that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41783392/jamie-dimon-doesnt-plans-to-join-trump-administration-affirms-commitment-to-jpmorgan">he&#8217;s not interested</a>. He's focused on leading JPMorgan Chase, which he's done for nearly two decades and fighting what he considers unnecessary and damaging regulations from the outside.

JPMorgan Chase Unusual Options Activity For November 14

Republicans are set to maintain control of the House of Representatives with a narrow margin, marking a new era as President-elect Donald Trump heads back <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">to the White House. </a>
With control of Congress locked up Wednesday, Trump and his allies are poised to enact changes across various sectors, from tax reforms to potential deregulations, as the party mobilizes to advance its agenda across Washington, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/republicans-win-house-majority-trump-party-senate-control-rcna179231">reports</a>.
What Happened: Following a decisive win over Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump&#8217;s victory helped secure key congressional seats that kept Republicans in command of the House and the Senate. This sweeping Republican control creates a dynamic environment where Trump can enact his policy objectives with minimal opposition, positioning the party to reshape American policy on multiple fronts.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) celebrated the victory on Capitol Hill, emphasizing the unity and optimism he expects to define the next two years of governance. Key GOP gains in swing districts across Pennsylvania and Michigan helped solidify Republican dominance, despite Democrat efforts to regain control, according to NBC News.
With this control, Trump's team may pursue reforms involving tax cuts, health care changes, and immigration policy adjustments aimed at fulfilling the promises for which he campaigned. Republicans will also be in a position to use "reconciliation," a procedural tool allowing legislation to pass more easily without relying on Democratic support.

Why It Matters: The GOP's full leadership signals potential market shifts as Republicans focus on deregulation and reshaping economic policy. 
Analysts expect changes in sustainable investment strategies under Trump's leadership. JPMorgan's Virgina Martin Heriz highlighted that while some Inflation Reduction Act incentives for clean energy might stay, others, like electric vehicle tax credits, could face cuts. &#8220;Fund performance matters far more than politics,&#8221; she said, underlining that financial gains may drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41926301/sustainable-investment-under-trump-performance-matters-far-more-than-politics-jpmorgan-analyst-says">decisions in renewable energy.</a>
In light of these changes, certain sectors may see pronounced impacts:
Energy Sector Growth: With a pro-energy agenda, traditional oil and gas firms could thrive under reduced regulations.

<li>ETF to Watch: Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), tracking companies like Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), may benefit from policies aimed at fossil fuel expansion.</li>
</ul>

Republicans Set To Hold Slim House Majority: What It Means For Energy, Financial, Defense Sectors

Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) adjusted its financial outlook for 2025-2027, projecting slower net revenue growth <a href="https://investor.mastercard.com/financials-and-sec-filings/sec-filings/sec-filings-details/default.aspx?FilingId=17965214" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">than anticipated</a>.
The new forecast estimates annual net revenue will grow in the &#8220;high-end of low-double-digits,&#8221; a noticeable deceleration compared to the high-teens growth expected for 2022-2024, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-13/mastercard-predicts-slower-annual-revenue-growth-through-2027?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The company anticipates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the mid-teens for EPS over the next three years, down from its prior expectation of low-20s growth for 2022-2024.

The company aims for an annual operating margin of at least 55% during the 2025-2027 timeframe, up from a minimum target of 50% for 2022-2024.
Mastercard reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41659697/mastercard-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-cross-border-transactions-growth-sees-european-consumer" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter net revenue</a> of $7.37 billion, a 13% increase from the previous year, surpassing the analyst estimate of $7.27 billion. Adjusted earnings per share climbed 15% year-over-year to $3.89, beating the expected $3.74 consensus.
Revenue from the payments network increased by 10% year-over-year (11% on a currency-neutral basis), driven by a 10% rise in gross dollar volume, a 17% growth in cross-border transactions, and an 11% boost in switched transactions. Mastercard anticipates net revenue growth in the low teens for the fourth quarter, above the $7.27 billion analyst forecast.
KeyBanc&#8217;s analyst Alex Markgraff examined credit and debit card volume data from recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41364634/citigroup-remains-a-compelling-investment-opportunity-analysts-take-on-q3-performance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter reports</a> by Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).
Overall, the combined credit card volume for these banks grew 5% year-over-year, down from 6% in the previous quarter. Debit card volume increased by 4% year-over-year, slightly below the 5% growth seen in the second quarter.
The banks reported slower growth in card spending but noted consumer resilience continues, with stabilized spending patterns. JPMorgan highlighted customers have mostly exhausted their &#8220;cash buffer,&#8221; while Bank of America observed consistent payment growth into October.
This modest decline contrasts with forecasts for Mastercard and Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), for which analysts expected an uptick in card volumes. Despite this, Markgraff believes third-quarter revenue risk remains minimal.
MA Price Action: Mastercard stock is down 1.08% at $523.61 at the last check on Wednesday.

Mastercard Lowers Financial Forecast, Signals Slower EPS, Revenue Growth Ahead

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has seen its stock rise some 9% to $242.83 in November. The stock has gained following Donald Trump's election win, with investors optimistic about the potential impact of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">pro-business policies</a> on the banking sector. 
Trump&#8217;s promise to extend and expand corporate tax cuts is expected to benefit large financial institutions like JPMorgan, which could see a direct boost to its net income as lower corporate taxes reduce overall operating costs. 
For a bank with JPMorgan's scale, these savings could be substantial, allowing more resources to be allocated toward growth initiatives and returning value to shareholders.

What To Know: In addition to potential tax advantages, JPMorgan stands to gain from the inflationary pressures expected from Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs and increased federal spending, which could lead the Federal Reserve to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41938762/october-inflation-rate-rises-to-2-6-as-expected-december-interest-rate-cut-remains-uncertain">keep interest rates elevated</a>. 
As the largest U.S. bank by assets, JPMorgan relies heavily on net interest income from loans, and higher interest rates generally mean greater profitability on lending. The potential for sustained or rising rates would allow the bank to generate increased revenue from its extensive loan portfolio, particularly in areas like mortgages, credit cards, and business loans.
Furthermore, JPMorgan could see regulatory relief under a Trump administration, which has historically sought to reduce constraints on the banking industry. Eased regulations would allow the bank to expand its activities more freely, especially in investment banking and wealth management services. Reduced compliance costs would also positively impact the bank's efficiency ratio, allowing it to operate more profitably.
Internationally, a stronger U.S. dollar—likely under Trump's policies—could benefit JPMorgan's global operations by increasing the relative value of its overseas earnings. 
With broad exposure across financial services, from investment banking to asset management, JPMorgan is well-positioned to capitalize on a potential wave of economic growth and increased business investment fueled by Trump's pro-growth agenda.

Investors can gain exposure to JPM by investing in the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NASDAQ">DIA</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NASDAQ">SPY</a>). 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy JPM Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in JPMorgan Chase&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, JPM has a 52-week high of $248.00 and a 52-week low of $146.52.

JPMorgan (JPM) Stock Is Up 9% In November: What's Going On?

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s pro-business policies could potentially drive the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future">stock market to unprecedented levels</a>, according to Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
What Happened: Siegel, speaking <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/11/trump-is-the-most-pro-stock-market-president-in-history-whartons-jeremy-siegel.html">on</a> CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; suggested that Trump&#8217;s policies could have a significant impact on the stock market. &#8220;President-elect Trump is the most pro-stock market president we have had in our history,&#8221; Siegel said. 
&#8220;He measured his success in his first term by how well the stock market did. You know, it seems to me very unlikely he&#8217;s going to implement policies that are going to be bad for the stock market,&#8221; Siegel said. 
Following Trump&#8217;s election win, the market has already experienced a surge, with investors banking on his pledges of tax cuts and deregulation to drive growth and benefit-risk assets.

Why It Matters: The S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose by 4.66% last week, marking its best week since November 2023, and trading above 6,000 for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average represented by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) also reached a new milestone of 44,000 post-election.
Stocks after Trump&#8217;s victory, including Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and major banks like JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), experienced significant gains. Additionally, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continued to hit record highs as traders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41891682/dogecoin-bitcoin-returns-are-dazzling-but-first-neiro-on-ethereum-and-popcat-have-run-up-55000-and-20000-so-far-in-2024">anticipated looser regulations under Trump</a>.
As the era of the &#8220;Trump trade&#8221; draws to a close, the market&#8217;s attention is shifting toward the potential impacts of Trump&#8217;s policy priorities on investments. His promises of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future">lower corporate taxes and deregulation</a> are seen as beneficial for the economy and stock prices, while other pledges, such as immigration clampdowns and high tariffs, are viewed as potential economic obstacles.

Pre-Market Outlook

Dow Settles Above 44,000 For The First Time As Tesla Continues To Surge After Trump Win: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index In 'Greed' Zone

Financial stocks are basking in a post-election rally after Donald Trump's election win as investors anticipate a friendlier regulatory landscape for banks, brokers and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> consumer finance companies</a>.
With expectations of deregulation and possible tax cuts, traders are piling into financials at levels not seen in years.
The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) jumped over 5% last week, hitting fresh record highs, while weekly inflows surged to $1.573 billion—the highest in over two years. 
Regional banks, in particular, were on fire, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) skyrocketing nearly 11% and seeing $1.09 billion in inflows, marking its largest influx of money since March 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Drivers: Deregulation, Tax Cuts Fuel Investor Optimism</h3>
Investors are betting on a wave of Trump-favored financial reforms that could benefit the sector. 
Richard Ramsden, a Goldman Sachs analyst, highlighted that "the market is pricing in the potential for changes to a number of proposed regulations, a step up in capital markets activity, as well as the potential for a reduction in the corporate tax rate."
Potential regulatory changes under Trump could include:
<ol>
<li>401K Reform: Opening up retirement plans to private investments could attract a flood of new capital.</li>
<li>Relaxed Antitrust Regulations: A more lenient antitrust stance may spark increased mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity.</li>
<li>Reduced SEC Oversight: There is limited clarity on whether the SEC will continue probing brokers' sweep pricing practices.</li>
<li>Crypto-Friendly Policies: Financial firms with crypto exposure may benefit from a more favorable regulatory environment and higher digital asset prices.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs's Top Picks Among Financials Stocks</h3>
In anticipation of these shifts, Ramsden and his team have identified several top picks across the financial sector. 
Here's where they see the biggest potential gains:
<ul>
<li>Large Banks: Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).</li>
<li>Consumer Finance: Bread Financial Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BFH#NYSE">BFH</a>), Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>), and Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>).</li>
<li>Capital Markets: Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), LPL Financial Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>), Tradeweb Markets Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Steeper Yield Curve Expected to Boost Regional Banks</h3>
As markets react to potential economic stimulus and reduced regulatory pressure, analysts anticipate a steeper yield curve, which could be a windfall for banks with heavy exposure to fixed-rate assets. 
Around 60% of both regional and large banks' balance sheets consist of fixed-rate holdings, positioning them to profit as long-term rates rise.
Ramsden's picks for banks that stand to gain the most from a steeper yield curve include:
Regional Banks: 
<ul>
<li>Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)</li>
<li>Comerica Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)</li>
<li>First Hawaiian Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHB#NASDAQ">FHB</a>)</li>
<li>Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>)</li>
<li>Truist Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>)</li>
<li>Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBAN#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>)</li>
<li>Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>)</li>
<li>PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>)</li>
<li>Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLY#NYSE">ALLY</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Surge in Capital Velocity: M&amp;A and Trading Boost Expected</h3>
Trump's pro-business stance is also expected to accelerate capital velocity in the M&amp;A and equity capital markets, providing a strong backdrop for trading activity. 
According to Ramsden, large banks like Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) could be the biggest beneficiaries, while among regional banks,&nbsp;KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)&nbsp;stand out.
Investment banks could also see a boost, with&nbsp;Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>),&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;PJT Partners Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>), and&nbsp;Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PIPR#NYSE">PIPR</a>)&nbsp;positioned to capitalize on a more active M&amp;A market. 
In the alternative asset management space,&nbsp;Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>),&nbsp;KKR,&nbsp;Apollo,&nbsp;TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>), and&nbsp;Ares Management Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARES#NYSE">ARES</a>)&nbsp;are expected to benefit from an uptick in private equity deal flow.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Cut Hopes Could Supercharge Regional Banks</h3>
Financial stocks are uniquely positioned to benefit from any corporate tax reductions, given that 90% of their earnings come from the U.S. and are currently taxed at an average rate of 23%. After the 2017 tax reform slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, financials saw their effective tax rate drop by 10 percentage points.
Ramsden estimates that if the Trump administration pursues another tax cut, regional banks would likely see the most significant upside. 
His top tax-cut beneficiaries include&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>),&nbsp;Evercore Inc.,&nbsp;Bread Financial Holdings,&nbsp;Piper Sandler,&nbsp;First Citizens BancShares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>),&nbsp;Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>), and&nbsp;Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurers to Benefit from Steeper Curve, P&amp;C Pricing Power</h3>
The insurance sector may also stand to gain under Trump's pro-business policies. Ramsden expects potential increases in claim costs but sees positive momentum for property and casualty pricing.
Insurers with substantial U.S. exposure and a favorable position on the yield curve could see tailwinds.
Ramsden's picks in the insurance space include&nbsp;W.R. Berkley Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRB#NYSE">WRB</a>),&nbsp;Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIG#NYSE">HIG</a>), and&nbsp;The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>), which he believes are better positioned than brokers to benefit from these trends.

Trump Trade Sparks Biggest Financial Stock Inflows In 2 Years

For over three decades, one of America's largest banks, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), has refused to pay out a $331 monthly pension to Elaine Silverberg, widow of one of their former longtime employees, according to The New York Post. The publisher recently reported on the ordeal that has left the widow fighting for what should be hers – a battle she has been waging for over 13 years.

</ul>
Elaine's late husband, Melvyn Silverberg, worked for Chase Manhattan Bank as a systems analyst until 1979. Tragically, he passed away at just 43 years old in 1988 due to multiple organ failure, leaving Elaine, who was just 37, to raise their three children alone. Since then, Melvyn&#8217;s $53,000 pension from his 10 years at the bank has been in limbo for more than 36 years as Elaine has battled to collect it upon her retirement.
In a statement to the New York Post, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JPM">JPMorgan Chase</a> admitted that Melvyn had earned a vested retirement package but claimed that he had failed to complete the necessary paperwork to elect his wife as a beneficiary. Unfortunately, Mel passed away before the 1984 Retirement Equity Act, which automatically granted pension benefits to spouses, came into effect. Because Mel's employment ended before this law was passed, the bank has used this technicality to argue that Elaine is not entitled to any payments.

Elaine, now 73, said that the company has treated her like &#8220;an insignificant cockroach just to be stepped on.&#8221; The bank has not backed down despite her repeated pleas and even enlisting the help of Sen.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36800756/cory-booker-moves-to-protect-weed-rights-in-federally-funded-housing-no-one-should-face-eviction"> Cory Booker</a> of New Jersey and former New York congressman Eliot Engel.

JPMorgan Chase says they sympathize with Elaine but cannot make an exception without the required paperwork. To add insult to injury, correspondence reviewed by the paper shows that the bank allegedly contacted Melvyn multiple times after his death, including once in 1990, asking him to elect for spousal coverage – two years after he had already passed away.

Elaine argues that she never received these letters and has been denied what is rightfully hers due to bureaucracy and technicalities. According to a senior lawyer at the mid-Atlantic Pension Counseling Project, the bank&#8217;s reasoning is &#8220;weak&#8221; and highlights a common problem in which pension plans place the burden of evidence on widows like Elaine, who have to &#8220;prove a negative&#8221; years later.
For a bank like JPMorgan, $53,000 isn&#8217;t much, but to Elaine, it is a testament to her husband&#8217;s efforts and the stability he worked so hard to create. &#8220;This is a lot of money to me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;For them, it's just a joke.&#8221;
