Nasdaq Surges Over 300 Points; State Street Earnings Top Views

Risk appetite surged on Wall Street at the end of the week, with investors ramping up stock purchases ahead of Monday's market closure for Martin Luther King Day, which is also when Donald Trump will be sworn in as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
All major indices posted robust gains in midday trading, setting up for their strongest weekly performance since early November. Broad-based buying lifted every sector into the green, underscoring the strength of the rally.
Adding to the positive mood, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a ceasefire deal with Hamas <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43055426/oil-dips-as-israeli-security-cabinet-approves-gaza-ceasefire-yet-experts-warn-red-sea-risks-persist">in Gaza</a>, leaving final government approval as the last step before the agreement takes effect on Sunday.
Chipmaker Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) soared 8.9%, marking its biggest single-day jump since August 2024. The rally was fueled by rumors that the company could be a takeover target. 
Treasury yields edged higher but remained on track for steep weekly declines, following a softer-than-expected December inflation report that eased concerns over aggressive Federal Reserve policy.
The U.S. dollar rose 0.3% on Friday but is still slightly lower for the week, potentially snapping a six-week winning streak.
Gold prices steadied after Thursday's strong rally, while oil prices extended their decline as ceasefire efforts gained traction.
Cryptocurrency sentiment surged, driven by speculation that the incoming Trump administration could announce the creation of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43062518/2025-to-see-dogecoin-etf-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-microstrategy-of-ethereum-predicts-crypto-hedge-fund">a Bitcoin Reserve Fund.</a> Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was up 5% to over $105,000.

Wall Street Roars Ahead Of Trump's Inauguration, Intel Rallies, Bitcoin Tops $105,000: What's Driving Markets Friday?

State Street Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) shares are trading lower on Friday.
The company reported fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.60, beating the street view of $2.43. Quarterly sales of $3.412 billion (+12%) outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $3.320 billion.
The total provision for credit losses was $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to higher loan loss reserves for certain commercial real estate loans. However, provision for credit losses fell 40% year over year in the quarter underreview.
Fee revenue grew by 13%, driven by strong performance across the business. Servicing fees rose by 6%, management fees increased by 20%, FX trading services grew by 17%, securities finance went up by 22%, and software and processing fees increased by 9%.
Net interest income increased 10% compared to fourth quarter, largely due to higher investment securities yields and double-digit loan growth, partially offset by deposit mix shift.

NII increased 4% sequentially, largely due to higher deposit balances and loan growth.
The CET1 (Standardized) ratio at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 was 10.9%, down 0.7% from both 4Q23 and 3Q24, mainly due to higher capital return and increased RWA for business growth, partially offset by capital generated from earnings.
&#8220;We executed on our strategy to increase fee revenue growth while continuing to transform our operating model, enhance our capabilities and support our clients. These efforts yielded strong results for the year, including both positive fee and total operating leverage supported by record NII, and overall, exceeded the financial outlook we provided at the outset of 2024,&#8221; said Ron O&#8217;Hanley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Price Action: STT shares are trading lower by 3.77% to $96.70 at last check Friday.

U.S. stock futures were trading higher on Friday morning, recovering from the previous day&#8217;s losses. Futures across all major indices showed gains.
Although the S&amp;P 500 ended its winning streak on Thursday, a strong Friday session could potentially result in the best weekly performance for the index since the November election.
The 10-year Treasury note yielded 4.60% and the two-year note was at 4.23%.

Insights From Analysts
As Donald Trump moves to the White House on Monday, Dec. 20, Robin Brooks, the ex-Goldman Sachs FX Strategist and a senior fellow at Brookings Institution <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/china-tariffs-and-trump-2-0/">said</a> the tariff confrontation between the U.S. and China could prove detrimental to the S&amp;P 500.
China's most &#8220;potent weapon&#8221; is the depreciation of the yuan as an offset to additional U.S. tariffs. This could negatively impact the U.S. economy, potentially tightening financial conditions and weighing on the S&amp;P 500, Brooks said in his research note.
Even though the new administration may seek to mitigate this by implementing targeted tariffs or a phased-in, conditional universal tariff, he said, &#8220;Given how little is priced, it seems likely that market volatility will rise in the months ahead.&#8221;
Highlighting the corporate earnings in 2025, Callie Cox, the chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management, said in an X post &#8220;All 11 sectors are expected to report growing profits, which would be the first time that&#8217;s happened since 2018.

Shares of banking and financial services stocks are trading higher following strong bank earnings.

State Street Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/STT/earnings">opening bell, on Friday, Jan. 17, 2025.</a>
Analysts expect the Boston, Massachusetts-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.44 per share, up from $2.04 per share in the year-ago period. State Street projects quarterly revenue of $3.34 billion, compared to $3.04 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Jan. 7, Truist Securities analyst David Smith initiated coverage on State Street with a Hold rating and announced a price target of $106.
With the recent buzz around State Street, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, State Street offers an annual dividend yield of 3.22%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 76 cents per share ($3.04 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $186,444 or around 1,974 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $37,308 or around 395 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.04 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.04 = 1,974 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.04 = 395 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
STT Price Action: Shares of State Street gained 0.6% to close at $94.45 on Monday.

Long Ideas

How To Earn $500 A Month From State Street Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

Analysts at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/truist-securities">Truist Securities</a> initiated coverage on 24 large-cap, regional, and trust banks, as well as credit card companies. They anticipate strong earnings growth over the next two years, projecting an annual increase of 12-15% fueled by factors like improving loan growth, a steeper yield curve, and ample capital for expansion.
What Happened: Forecasting a favorable environment for banks in 2025 and 2026, the analysts at Truist foresee a less stringent regulatory environment, with more clarity and flexibility for banks regarding mergers and acquisitions, and the deployment of excess capital.
The note highlighted that the banking stocks were de-rated during the first two years of Trump 1.0 because the yield curve was flattened and late-cycle macro concerns surfaced, even as the administration enacted bank-friendly tax reform and regulatory tailoring. However, according to the brokerage, a little Fed easing and a steeper curve are necessary for the stocks to be re-rated and two rate cuts are expected in 2025, as hinted by Fed during their December meeting. 
According to Truist, while bank valuations have increased, they remain relatively attractive compared to historical levels. They currently trade at a price-to-book value (P/TBV) below their post-financial crisis average, and at a significant discount to the broader market. The note adds that given the current market valuations, bank stocks appear undervalued relative to the S&amp;P 500.
However, despite Truist beliefs that the sector offers attractive opportunities, careful stock selection is crucial according to them. &#8220;While we're not at &#8216;close your eyes and buy ‘em levels,&#8217; we still see attractive opportunities across the sector and view stock selection as increasingly important,&#8221; the note said.

Why It Matters: Truist&#8217;s coverage on 24 financial stocks is spread across three subgroups namely, large-cap, regional, and trust banks, which is initiated with a positive outlook.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Large-Cap Banks</h3>
The research note examines long-term investment potential of large U.S. banks as these institutions possess significant advantages, including, &#8220;embedded offense&#8221; with the presence of strong existing businesses and customer relationships.
It also anticipates cyclical tailwinds and capital leverage for such banks given a favorable economic environment and the ability to effectively utilize capital for growth.
These factors position large U.S. banks to achieve organic growth by the expansion of core businesses, double-digit earnings growth and an attractive returns on equity.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trust Banks And Capital Markets</h3>
Truist anticipates gradual interest rate decreases, the eventual end of quantitative tightening, and a healthy economy and capital markets providing a competitive landscape to trust banks.
According to the analysts, investors should prioritize stocks with the potential for sustained operating leverage. Which is the ability to increase profitability significantly with relatively small increases in revenue. And stocks with strong capital returns, with high levels of income through dividends and share buybacks.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on State Street, Raises Price Target to $127

Goldman Sachs is shaking up the 2025 playbook for the capital markets industry. In a note shared Monday, analyst Alexander Blostein, CFA outlined key winners and losers in alternative asset managers, brokers, and traditional managers, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/upgrades">with bold rating adjustments.</a> 
Among the top picks are KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) and Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RJF#NYSE">RJF</a>), while Hamilton Lane Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLNE#NASDAQ">HLNE</a>) and Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#NYSE">CBOE</a>) face downgrades.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative Managers: The 2024 High-Flyers Face Valuation Concerns</h3>
Alternative asset managers outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by a robust 28% in 2024, surging 51% on average. Yet, lofty valuations and slowing growth expectations may challenge the sector&#8217;s momentum in 2025. 
Some stocks nearly doubled: KKR &amp; Co. Inc. climbed +82%, and StepStone Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STEP#NASDAQ">STEP</a>) was up 79%. At the lower end, Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>) rose 24%, while Hamilton Lane Incorporated posted a 31% gain.
Despite these massive returns, average price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples for the group expanded over 30% last year, with the 2026 expected P/E standing at a steep 24.5x.
"We think some of the multiple expansion is justified by improving organic FRE [fee-related earnings] growth and a cyclical boost from capital markets activity, but valuations are becoming increasingly prohibitive," Blostein said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Themes Driving Alternative Managers In 2025</h3>
Goldman Sachs indicated three major themes shaping the landscape for alternative managers in 2025:
<ol>
<li>Private Credit Competition: After driving 70% of management fee growth in 2024, private credit faces rising competition and risks of commoditization in direct lending, although demand for private investment-grade credit remains solid.</li>
<li>Retail and Private Wealth Expansion: The retail investor channel will continue to grow, but with increasing competition from scaled players.</li>
<li>Private Equity Revival: Fundraising and realization activity is expected to recover as deal markets normalize, benefiting corporate private equity managers.</li>
</ol>
Among alternative managers, Goldman&#8217;s top buys are KKR &amp; Co. Inc. and TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>) for their robust FRE growth potential.
On the flip side, Hamilton Lane Incorporated was cut to Sell on slowing fee growth, with a target of $139. Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OWL#NYSE">OWL</a>) was downgraded to Neutral on slowing organic growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brokers: Recovery In M&amp;A Boosts RJF</h3>
Improved capital markets activity in 2025 could boost deal-making, especially in M&amp;A. 
Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RJF#NYSE">RJF</a>) was upgraded from Neutral to Buy, with Goldman setting a $185 price target. Blostein highlighted RJF's $2.5 billion excess capital and strong operating leverage as key growth drivers.
LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>) remains a top pick, while trust banks like The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) and State Street Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) are well-positioned for balanced growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional Managers: Stabilizing Or Slowing</h3>
Traditional asset managers show mixed potential. 
Franklin Resources, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEN#NYSE">BEN</a>) was upgraded from Sell to Neutral due to its attractive valuation, including a 6.5% dividend yield and a 14% free cash flow yield. Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JHG#NYSE">JHG</a>) also moved to Neutral on improving performance fees and ETF growth.
On the downside, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMG#NYSE">AMG</a>) was downgraded to Neutral due to deteriorating EBITDA growth. Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#NYSE">CBOE</a>) was cut from Neutral to Sell as growth in SPX and VIX option products stagnated.

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on State Street, Raises Price Target to $118

Morgan Stanley analyst Betsey Graseck is Overweight on big banks following Donald Trump's win and the Republican<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42382786/morgan-stanley-narrows-down-winning-and-losing-bets-in-the-first-100-days-of-trump-administration"> sweep of the 2024 election. </a>

"We're really looking for stabilization in large cap bank regulation, and that's a positive, because elimination of a negative is a good thing," Graseck told CNBC's Squawk Box on Wednesday.&nbsp;
Upgrades: Morgan Stanley upgraded all of the trust banks within its coverage and pointed to the end of quantitative tightening as the driver behind the upgrades. The firm sees deposit growth of between 3% and 7% which would benefit the trust banks as they skew to large institutional asset manager clients.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Graseck upgraded Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised the price target from $82 to $94.</li>
<li>The firm upgraded Northern Trust Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRS#NASDAQ">NTRS</a>) from Underweight to Equal-Weight and raised its price target from $103 to $127.</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley also upgraded State Street Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised the price target from $102 to $139.</li>
</ul>
Downgrades: The analyst sees a more balanced risk-reward for Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) in the coming financial and political environment in which the firm prefers money centers with a higher skew to capital markets. 
<ul>
<li>Morgan Stanley downgraded Bank of America from Overweight to Equal-Weight, but raised its price target from $48 to $55.</li>
<li>Graseck also downgraded Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>) from Overweight to Equal-Weight and raises the price target from $28 to $32.</li>
</ul>
Graseck said the firm is reducing its exposure to credit risk amid the possibility of a recession in 2025. Accordingly, Morgan Stanley downgraded Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>) from Overweight to Equal-Weight due to its outsized exposure to Commercial and Industrial (C&amp;I) lending.&nbsp;
