$MS $GS $JPM $BAC It's facing a combination of margin pressure, credit caution, and seasonal weakness. This has led to relative underperformance compared to other sectors in early 2026. Keep an eye on upcoming economic data like jobs, inflation, and any Fed signals, as rate path expectations heavily influence banks. It's flattening yield curve. It compresses net interest margins, just the spread banks earn between lending and borrowing rates, hurting profitability for traditional banking operations. A flattening curve reduces the benefit from higher rates that boosted banks in prior years. The market remains uneven, with no single sector dominating like tech did in prior years. If rotation continues broadening, financials could stabilize or rebound relative to tech's volatility. Me? I'm just a bullish prick, like a thorn. I am a rose, and I have prickles with spikes as sharp as needles... My thorns aren't hidden... You'll see them right under your nose.
