Nearly six months into President Donald Trump's second term, the market has picked its winners—and it's not on ESG, the strategy built around environmental,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg"> social and governance principles.</a>
As deregulation gains steam and culture wars escalate, a group of so-called &#8220;sin stocks&#8221; tied to guns, booze, tobacco, and gambling is sharply beating clean investing strategies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sin Stocks Are Smoking ESG—and Trump Might Be The Reason</h3>
Since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the USA Mutuals Vice Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VICEX#NASDAQ">VICEX</a>) — a portfolio built around industries typically shunned by ethical investors — has jumped 16.4%. By contrast:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGV#NYSE">ESGV</a>) is up just 3.5%.</li>
<li>The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) gained 4.2%.</li>
<li>The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 6%. </li>
</ul>
This shift reflects a broader investor reallocation toward industries that benefit from Trump's deregulatory, America-first agenda—and away from sectors screened for ESG compliance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving Sin Stocks Higher?</h2>
The USA Mutuals Vice Fund, launched in 2002, invests at least 80% of its assets in companies tied to alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and defense.
It concentrates a minimum of 25% in these four "vice industries," which the fund defines as sectors often subject to social disapproval or regulatory risk. 
No single industry makes up more than 80% of the portfolio. The fund also maintains global exposure, investing at least 40% of assets in non-U.S. companies across a minimum of three countries.
 Its top holdings as of March 31, 2025 have delivered eye-catching returns in 2025:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>BAE Systems plc (OTCPK: BAESY): +79.3%</li>
<li>Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>): +51.8%</li>
<li>British American Tobacco p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTI#NYSE">BTI</a>): +46.9%</li>
<li>Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>): +38.8%</li>
<li>RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>): +28.0%</li>
<li>Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>): +28.5%</li>
<li>Heineken N.V. (OTCPK: HEINY): +25.9%</li>
<li>Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>): +9.4%</li>
<li>Diageo plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>): -17.1% (the lone laggard). </li>
</ul>
In particular, a portfolio of defense contractors—tracked by the iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#NYSE">ITA</a>)—has surged 25% year-to-date, fueled by rising geopolitical tensions and further escalated by the recent Israel–Iran war.
&#8220;The Vice Fund remains committed to its core belief that certain stocks are undervalued because certain factions of society deem them morally questionable,&#8221; said portfolio manager Paul Strehle in the fund's latest quarterly report.
&#8220;Our core holdings remain military defense, casino, alcohol, and tobacco stocks because they typically have an inelastic customer base that is unlikely to be swayed by whether the product price rises or falls,&#8221; he added. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Stocks Struggle Despite Big Tech Exposure</h2>
Despite the Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF including several of the market's strongest tech names, it hasn't kept up with vice stocks.

JPMorgan Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;has shifted his investment strategy, investing $459 million in Sirius XM (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) after selling his stakes in&nbsp;Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).
What Happened: Buffett&#8217;s investment firm,&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway, acquired approximately&nbsp;20 million shares of Sirius&nbsp;XM between Q3 2024 and Q1 2025. 
This investment, calculated based on an average share price of $22.95, boosts Berkshire&#8217;s total holdings in Sirius to nearly 120 million shares, valued at approximately $2.9 billion.
According to Hathaway's latest Form 13F <a href="https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=0001067983">filings</a>, the purchase represents an effort to capitalize on a dip in Sirius XM&#8217;s stock, which has plummeted&nbsp;about 45% from its 52-week&nbsp;high of $41.60 to $24.29. 
Despite recent financial challenges, including a 4% revenue drop in Q1 2025 and ongoing subscriber losses in Q2, Sirius XM&#8217;s&nbsp;strong brand and recurring revenue&nbsp;model likely offer long-term value to Buffett.

This strategic move follows Buffett&#8217;s consistent offloading of shares from&nbsp;Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, thereby freeing up a significant cash reserve for new investments.
Why It Matters: The shift in Buffett&#8217;s investment strategy underscores his confidence in Sirius XM&#8217;s long-term potential, despite its recent financial setbacks. 
The investment in Sirius XM, a company known for its&nbsp;strong brand and recurring revenue&nbsp;model, aligns with Buffett&#8217;s investment philosophy of buying stocks with solid fundamentals at a discount.
Moreover, the offloading of shares from&nbsp;Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, suggests a potential shift in Buffett&#8217;s view on the banking sector. 
This move could signal a broader trend among investors, who may also be reassessing their positions in these banks.

Warren Buffett Skips Big Banks Like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo, Bets $459 Million On This One Asset

"We've got to get our act together," JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpgB5PBWzHw">said </a>in late May, warning that poor governance, not China, could erode U.S. leadership.&nbsp;
Speaking at the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, California, Dimon pointed to crumbling bridges, grid bottlenecks, and a $36.2 trillion federal debt to shrinking national prestige. He also warned that the dollar's reserve-currency crown could slip if Washington fails to correct course.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enemy Within Tops China</h2>
Dimon said the real opponent of the U.S. is "the enemy within," pointing to stalled infrastructure, ballooning city pensions, and multiyear permit delays. Pointing to California's high‑speed rail project, he argued that domestic inefficiencies—like cost overruns and bureaucratic delays—undermine U.S. competitiveness more severely than any foreign adversary.
"America First is fine, as long as it doesn't end up being America alone," Dimon wrote in his April <a href="https://www.jpmorganchase.com/content/dam/jpmc/jpmorgan-chase-and-co/investor-relations/documents/ceo-letter-to-shareholders-2024.pdf">shareholder letter</a>, stressing that the U.S. cannot lead globally if it is paralyzed domestically. In the letter, Dimon urged Congress to streamline permits, upgrade the grid, and restore bipartisan discipline.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debt Pressure Alarms The Fed</h2>
Treasury data show federal obligations hover near $36.2 trillion, adding interest costs every time rates tick higher.&nbsp;

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/mediacenter/files/fomcpresconf20250507.pdf">said</a> during the press conference immediately following the Fed's interest rate decision last month that the debt path is "unsustainable," urging lawmakers to craft solutions before markets do it for them. He warned that growing debt and rising interest costs can crowd out private investment and reduce economic productivity, limiting the government&#8217;s ability to respond to future downturns.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Bill Adds Fiscal Fuel</h2>
Dimon's warning lands as Congress debates the "Big Beautiful Bill," a combination of tax cut and spending package. The Congressional Budget Office<a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61486"> </a><a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61486k">projects</a> the measure would widen deficits by $2.8 trillion over 10 years, while a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/high-yields-bring-us-fiscal-precipice-even-closer-mcgeever-2025-05-29/">Reuters analysis</a> says it could lift debt to 125% of GDP by 2034.&nbsp;
Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, in an <a href="https://youtu.be/P_rMsHQtDjM">interview with CNBC</a>, offered a counterpoint in April, saying strong demand at recent bond auctions shows investors remain confident in U.S. credit, though she criticized abrupt tariff talk that might drive allies towards China. According to her, shifting to shorter-term debt would not be sensible.&nbsp;
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk recently slammed Congress&#8217;s new spending bill on an <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1929954109689606359">X post</a>, calling it a "disgusting abomination" packed with wasteful spending.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Countdown To Fiscal Showdown</h2>
Congressional committees continue internal budget discussions as attention turns toward the Treasury's upcoming refunding announcement in early August, where investors will look for signals on debt issuance strategy, particularly bond tenors.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is scheduled to deliver its semiannual Monetary Policy Report to Congress this month, offering lawmakers fresh insight into inflation, growth, and interest rate trends.
Should the bill stall, Dimon's plea may echo louder: Will policymakers act before rising rates and anxious allies force their hand?&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lime's Financial Turnaround Gains Investor Attention</h2>
In February, Lime<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250218624910/en/Lime-Delivers-Record-Revenue-and-Profitability-Positive-Free-Cash-Flow-in-2024"> reported</a> a 32% increase in net revenue, reaching $686 million for 2024. The company also confirmed that it was free cash flow positive for the second year in a row, a rare feat in the micromobility sector, which has historically struggled to stay afloat.
Lime CEO Wayne Ting described 2024 as "an exceptional year" for the company, citing strong results across key financial and operational metrics, including record profits and expanded global reach.
&#8220;We grew profits faster than revenue in 2024, posting another record year of results through serving more than 24 million riders in hundreds of communities around the world and bringing Lime to more cities globally,&#8221; Ting said in a statement. &#8220;While we saw record demand in 2024, we're just scratching the surface of micromobility's potential to transform cities and better connect people.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPO Market Recovery Offers Fresh Opportunity</h2>
According to Reuters, the potential IPO follows a broader rebound in the U.S. public listing market, which raised nearly $27 billion in 2024 so far, a 45% increase compared to the same period last year.
Although the total still falls short of the 2021 record of $177 billion, companies like Circle Internet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), which recently raised over $1 billion through an IPO, have signaled growing investor interest in growth-stage tech firms, Reuters says.
Lime's IPO may test investor sentiment in the micromobility space, where competitors like Bird have filed for bankruptcy in recent years, Reuters reports. Unlike others in its category, Lime received prior investment from Uber and is among the few micromobility firms still pursuing public markets. Uber led a funding round for Lime in 2020, at which time the company was reportedly valued at $510 million.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/uber-backed-electric-bike-startup-lime-hires-banks-us-ipo-sources-say-2025-06-24/">&nbsp;</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lime Targets Urban Pollution With 43 Million Car Trip Replacements</h2>
Environmental sustainability remains a core focus for Lime as it scales globally. According to the company, Lime riders helped avoid an estimated 20,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions in the last year by replacing car trips with shared electric vehicles.
Lime estimates its service replaced over 43 million car trips in 2024 and prevented the consumption of roughly 2.2 million gallons of gasoline, equal to approximately 8.5 million liters. The company says it also continues to lower its own operational footprint.
By offering electric scooters and bikes for trips under five miles, Lime says it aims to shift the way urban communities move while supporting city efforts to reduce traffic congestion and meet climate goals.

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Arthur Hayes has laid out a detailed case for why the U.S. government, through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45897485/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-sees-stablecoin-market-surging-past-2-trillion-as-senate-a">Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's policies</a>, is increasingly leaning on stablecoins as a financial tool to help fund growing federal deficits while keeping bond yields contained.
"The real stablecoin play isn't betting on crusty FinTechs like Circle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), it's understanding that the U.S. government just handed Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks the launch keys to a multi-trillion-dollar liquidity bazooka disguised as ‘innovation,'" Hayes <a href="https://cryptohayes.medium.com/quid-pro-stablecoin-c9daeb7aa569">wrote</a>.
Hayes contends that stablecoin adoption by TBTF banks, coupled with new regulatory advantages like Supplemental Leverage Ratio (SLR) exemptions and a potential end to the Federal Reserve's practice of paying interest on reserve balances, could unlock massive demand for Treasury bills.
He estimates that:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>$6.8 trillion of T-bill buying power could be unlocked through stablecoin-fueled bank deposits.</li>
<li>An additional $3.3 trillion could be released if the Fed stops paying interest on reserves held by banks.</li>
</ul>
In total, this could flood the Treasury market with over $10 trillion of new demand, without the Fed formally resuming quantitative easing.
"Some of you are still waiting for monetary Godot," Hayes wrote, warning investors not to sit on the sidelines waiting for a traditional QE announcement. 
"The stablecoin Trojan horse is already inside the fortress, and when it opens, it's not armed with libertarian dreams, it's loaded with T-bill buying liquidity."

According to Hayes, the structure of the Genius Act, a bipartisan stablecoin bill, ensures that major banks will dominate the stablecoin market. FinTech companies like Circle may find themselves sidelined as they lack access to the deposit base and government guarantees that banks enjoy.
Hayes highlighted JPMorgan's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) recently announced stablecoin, JPMD, as a key example. 
He suggests that banks will aggressively push customers to convert traditional deposits into stablecoins, offering cost efficiencies and freeing up trillions of dollars to purchase T-bills.
The stablecoin shift, Hayes argues, could boost profitability and stock valuations of large banks while creating a hidden liquidity source that supports both the Treasury market and risk assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and equities.
In Hayes' view, investors overly focused on waiting for a Federal Reserve pivot may miss the real liquidity story that is already taking shape. 
&#8220;Stop listening to the simp sitting in the cuck chair, and start listening to the man wielding the monster cock,&#8221; he wrote, in his typically provocative style, referring to Treasury policy as the more immediate market driver.
Hayes concludes that this policy pathway, while not officially labeled as quantitative easing, could have similar effects: surging liquidity, rising asset prices, and a potentially dramatic upside for Bitcoin and stocks tied to the largest U.S. banks.

Arthur Hayes Shares His 'Stablecoin Play' — And It Isn't Betting On Circle

In a move that combines finance, politics, and a pinch of satire, Tuttle Capital Management on June 28 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">new exchange-traded fund</a> (ETF) under the ticker symbol GRFT.
Interestingly, GRFT (can be read as &#8220;grift&#8221;) is as unrepentant as it appears. The fund, which is proposing a 0.75% fee, hasn&#8217;t mentioned particular politicians or regimes in its papers, but it doesn&#8217;t have to. The name itself is a wink, a poke, and a headline generator. The ETF seeks to invest in firms with perceived political ties, ranging from members of Congress to acquaintances of the U.S. President, striking a balance between strategy and showmanship.
The objective? To convert political closeness into investment gains. The actively managed ETF will target companies that appear in congressional filings, enjoy presidential approval, or have direct or indirect connections to incumbents in public office. It even intends to roll out into cash and cash equivalents during times of increased volatility.

Though the approach is eyebrow-raising, it&#8217;s not completely novel. Bloomberg pointed out that in 2023, the Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NANC#BATS">NANC</a>) and Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOP#BATS">GOP</a>) launched to mirror disclosed trading activity by lawmakers in accordance with the STOCK Act. Those funds were more bipartisan, though still eyebrow-raising, in their approach. GRFT ramps up the volume, though, with its branding, and a political bite that&#8217;s more pointed.
&#8220;There's certainly a cheeky theme to it,&#8221; said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, according to Bloomberg. &#8220;It's hard to differentiate yourself in a crowded ETF world and this seems like an opportune way to do it, although with a very pronounced political spin.&#8221;
GRFT&#8217;s debut also comes at the same time that there is increasing scrutiny around the financial dealings of senior government officials. President Donald Trump, for example, has recently ventured into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45995223/genius-stablecoin-bill-clears-senate-but-trumps-crypto-profits-loom-over-momentum">cryptocurrency</a>, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087590/trumps-made-in-america-phone-plan-is-backed-by-a-little-known-network-based-in-his-miami-condo-whose-website-still-says-what-is-lorem-ipsum">cell phone company</a> and a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/style/trump-fragrances-victory-45-47.html">cologne</a> brand. 
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/22/nx-s1-5407411/white-house-denies-conflicts-of-interest-as-trump-joins-dinner-for-meme-coin-investors">said</a> in May that &#8220;it&#8217;s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency.&#8221;
Historically, making bets based on perceived political favoritism has not consistently outperformed the market. The timing of disclosures, disparate political signals, and the frenetic pace of news cycles can dull even the best-modeled strategies. Whether the fund can pierce the din with actionable information is yet to be determined.
Nevertheless, if the buzz on the street is to be believed, investors are at least interested. According to Bloomberg, NANC, which has $223 million in assets under management, has beaten the S&amp;P 500 this year. Its holdings include Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Conversely, GOP, which has $53 million in assets, has big-cap stalwarts such as JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and BlackRock&#8217;s Bitcoin ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>).

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on JPMorgan Chase, Raises Price Target to $298

JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) shares are trending on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/07/46213890/wall-streets-100-billion-payout-parade-jpmorgan-morgan-stanley-goldman-lead-capital-return-wave-after-acing-feds-2025-stress-test">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What To Know: JPMorgan shares traded higher in after-hours Tuesday after the company announced a dividend increase and authorized a new buyback.
The company&#8217;s board announced that it intends to increase the quarterly stock dividend from $1.40 per share to $1.50 per share for the third quarter. 
JPMorgan&#8217;s board also announced a share repurchase program of $50 billion, effective as of Tuesday. 
&#8220;The Board's intended dividend increase, our second this year, represents a sustainable level of capital distribution to our shareholders and is supported by our strong financial performance. The new share repurchase program provides the ability to distribute capital to our shareholders over time, as we see fit,&#8221; said Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan. 
&#8220;Our fortress balance sheet, with significant excess capital and robust liquidity, enables us to be a pillar of strength — in both good times and bad times — allowing us to consistently serve our clients, communities, and countries throughout the world.&#8221;
The news comes after JPMorgan completed its stress test. The Federal Reserve lowered the bank&#8217;s Stress Capital Buffer requirement from 3.3% to 2.5% and its Standardized Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio requirement from 12.3% to 11.5%. The new requirements are set to become effective on Oct. 1. 
JPM Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/JPM">JPMorgan shares</a> traded up to around $293 in after-hours trading Tuesday before pulling back. The stock was down 0.11% at $290.12 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

JPMorgan Stock Is Trending Wednesday: What's Happening?

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) is working on a blockchain-powered system to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44456074/tokenization-will-merge-crypto-and-equities-bernstein">tokenize carbon credits</a> as part of its efforts to improve tracking, transparency, and trading efficiency in the carbon markets.
What Happened: The U.S. bank's blockchain division, Kinexys, is collaborating with S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights, EcoRegistry, and the International Carbon Registry to launch a pilot project, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-02/jpmorgan-s-blockchain-unit-explores-tokenizing-carbon-credits?embedded-checkout=true">reported</a>.
The trial will test whether blockchain technology can help track carbon credits from issuance to retirement, potentially reducing market inefficiencies and enhancing traceability. 
Tokenization is gaining momentum across financial markets, with major institutions such as BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) exploring ways to digitize real-world assets like stocks and Treasury bills to streamline trade settlement.
JPMorgan believes applying similar digital solutions to the voluntary carbon markets could address longstanding challenges, including fragmented systems, inconsistent standards, and limited transparency. 
In a statement, the bank noted that a unified blockchain-based framework could enable carbon credits to move more easily between buyers and sellers.
&#8220;The voluntary carbon market is ripe for innovation,&#8221; said Alastair Northway, head of natural resource advisory at JPMorgan Payments. 
He added that blockchain-based tokenization has the potential to create a globally compatible system that could improve trust, price visibility, and liquidity in the market.
Carbon credits typically represent one metric ton of carbon dioxide either removed from or prevented from entering the atmosphere, often through renewable energy or forestry projects. 
Tokenizing these credits would create a digital version recorded on a blockchain, making them more easily verifiable and tradable.

Why It Matters: While carbon markets are seen as tools for supporting environmental projects and channeling investment to developing economies, they have faced criticism.
Allegations of greenwashing and instances where projects failed to achieve promised emissions reductions have raised concerns about the credibility of the sector.
Despite these issues, financial institutions and governments continue to show interest in advancing carbon markets. 
JPMorgan, which has financed carbon projects and purchased carbon removal credits, aims to position itself as a leader in this space.
In a report released Wednesday, JPMorgan described carbon markets as an emerging asset class that could grow stronger with better infrastructure and continued innovation. 
However, the bank cautioned that if these improvements do not materialize, the market could face further setbacks in credibility and demand. 
JPMorgan also noted that earlier tokenization attempts by other market players raised concerns about double-counting and the potential misuse of retired credits.

JPMorgan's Tests Carbon Credit Tokenization On The Blockchain

Wall Street's biggest banks are rewarding shareholders with a wave of dividend hikes and buybacks totaling more than $100 billion, after clearing the Federal Reserve's 2025 stress test with capital left to spare.
What Happened: Last week, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s annual stress test, which gauges how well large institutions can withstand a severe recession scenario, showed all 22 participating firms remained comfortably above minimum capital requirements.
The aggregate common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio dropped to a low of 11.6% under the hypothetical downturn, well above the regulatory threshold of 4.5%, according <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/2025-dfast-results-20250627.pdf">to</a> the results published by the Fed.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46208521/circle-crcl-stock-bank-bid-crypto-stablecoins">Circle&#8217;s Bank Bid Could Be The Biggest Crypto Story Of The Year</a>
This means that even under the Fed's severely adverse scenario, which includes a deep recession, surging unemployment, and sharp declines in asset prices, the largest banks would still maintain a strong capital cushion, without requiring any government support.
As a result, several of the nation&#8217;s leading banks have wasted no time in announcing major capital return plans for shareholders. 
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) led the way with a 7% hike in dividends, alongside $50 billion in fresh stock buyback authorizations. This was the result of a lower stress capital buffer of 2.5%, down from 3.3%, allowing it to free up capital to return to investors.
Similarly, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) authorized a $20 billion buyback program, along with a 10% hike in its dividends, followed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), all raising their dividends in response to the results, according to a report by Reuters.

Why It Matters: While the major banks passed the tests with ease, analysts note that the simulated downturn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46158087/big-banks-pass-feds-2025-stress-test-with-ease-but-some-say-it-was-too-easy">made milder assumptions</a> compared to the previous year, featuring smaller declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, alongside a more moderate spike in unemployment.
The 2025 test also failed to include private equity and private credit risks that have since ballooned into a $2 trillion market over the years.
In 2024, the study results were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39525918/major-banks-fall-short-in-feds-2024-stress-test-results-the-market-will-view-the-re">worse than expected</a> for most banks, with higher projected losses compared to the prior year. However, all 31 of the major banks met the capital requirements to address a severe crisis. 
Price Action: Shares of JPMorgan Chase were up 0.17% on Tuesday, at $290.41, and are up 0.64% after hours.

Wall Street's $100 Billion Payout Parade: JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Lead Capital Return Wave After Acing Fed's 2025 Stress Test

Under the current Stress Capital Buffer ("SCB") framework, the Firm's preliminary SCB requirement provided by the Federal Reserve is 2.5% (down from the current 3.3%) and the Firm's Standardized Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio requirement including regulatory buffers is 11.5% (down from the current 12.3%).

The first half of 2025 has come to a close and 21 of the 30 stocks that make up the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average Index</a> are positive year-to-date.
Despite the impressive number of stocks with a positive performance in the first six months, the index was up around 4% with several of the components posting large declines.
2025 Performance: Through the first six months of the year, two <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">Magnificent Seven stocks </a>are among the 10 best in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and two are among the 10 worst in the index based on performance.
Here's a look at the 10 best Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks in the first half:
<ol class="wp-block-list">

<li>Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>): +12.3%</li>
</ol>
Here are the 10 worst performing Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks in the first half:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>): -38.3%</li>
<li>Merck &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>): -20.4%</li>

<li>McDonald's Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NASDAQ">MCD</a>): +0.8%</li>
</ol>
Overall the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the index, was up around 4% in the first half of 2025. This was a lower gain than the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, which had a 5.7% gain in the first half.

Why It's Important: Nvidia was one of the new Dow Jones components <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/12/42726598/dow-jones-2024-scoreboard-top-5-winners-losers-and-how-amazon-nvidia-could-reshape-2025">added in 2024</a> and the stock is one of the top performers in the first half of 2025. The stock replaced Intel, which was a top decliner in recent years.
The index also got rid of Walgreens, which was another poor performer in recent years. Its replacement Amazon was flat for the first half of 2025.
The new index makeup is showing strong signs of positive returns.
With 21 of the components positive year-to-date and one flat, this could mark one of the best years by the number of gainers in recent history.
In 2024, 18 of the 30 stocks were up for the full year. In 2023, 19 of the stocks in the index were up.
Perhaps most surprising is that two of the Magnificent Seven stocks rank among the worst performers in the first half of 2025, despite being part of the four Mag 7 members included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Apple was the fourth-worst performer in the index for the first half, falling 18.1%. That marks a sharp reversal from its standout status as the only Dow Jones stock to rank among the top gainers in both 2023 and 2024.
Amazon ranked ninth with a flat return, as only eight of the components were down. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains one of the most closely watched stock market indexes, serving as a gauge of overall market health. With only 30 stocks and a weighting based on stock price, rather than market capitalization, the index is less frequently used by some analysts and market experts than the broader S&amp;P 500 Index.

Dow Jones 2025 First Half Scoreboard: Top 10 Winners, Losers — Where Do Nvidia, Apple Stock Rank?

Goldman Sachs analysts are cautiously optimistic about the prospect of major U.S. banks returning more capital to shareholders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dividend-stocks">through buybacks and dividends</a>. 
Thanks to regulatory changes and strong results in the Federal Reserve's latest stress tests (CCAR), the top five banks are sitting on an estimated $90 billion in excess capital.
The firm believes banks will gradually raise dividends and continue buybacks, especially as new Fed rules free up an estimated $5.5 trillion in balance sheet capacity. This gives banks more flexibility, especially in stressful times.
Among individual banks, Goldman Sachs names Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) as the "best-positioned stocks."  
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bank of America stands out for its strong interest income growth (projected 7% annually through 2026), cost discipline, and potential benefit from regulatory reform. Goldman sees upside to both earnings and capital returns, making the stock attractive at current valuations. The analyst rated the stock as Buy, with the price target lifted from $52 to $56.</li>
<li>Wells Fargo, with its regulatory asset cap lifted, is expected to boost growth in core banking and trading businesses. Cost-cutting efforts and efficiency improvements could lift profits significantly, with up to 19% earnings upside forecast. The stock is also rated Buy, with the price target raised from $86 to $92.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/595e3a7c988ca80001dc7d9c/richard-ramsden">Analyst Richard Ramsden</a> also revised estimates ahead of the second-quarter results of five other U.S. banks:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Citigroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) &#8211; rated Buy, with price target raised from $85 to $96.</li>
<li>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) &#8211; rated Buy, with price target raised from $305 to $323.</li>
<li>US Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>) &#8211; rated Neutral, with price target raised from $46 to $49.</li>
<li>PNC Financial Services Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>) &#8211; rated Neutral, with price target raised from $178 to $196.</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) &#8211; rated Neutral, with price target raised from $136 to $147.</li>
</ul>
Ramsden expects banks to report sequential NII (net interest income) growth in the second quarter, due to an uptick in loan growth. The trading revenue environment "remains healthy" in the near term, he added.

$90 Billion Capital Cushion Points To Serious Bank Shareholder Payday: Goldman Sachs

Artificial intelligence is taking over tax preparation at major brokerage houses, easing the burden on small and large investors. That means less time poring through spreadsheets, looking to save pennies, and more time growing long-term assets.&nbsp;
Traditionally, investors <a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/tax-planning/technology-unleashes-power-of-year-round-tax-loss-harvesting">calculated</a> the tax impact of trading losses once per year because it was so complex, often requiring extensive record-keeping. That meant waiting until the fourth quarter, or until brokers mailed a list of transactions in January on IRS Form 1099. Thankfully, high tech has now taken the wheel, according to Kiplinger, with automated tax-loss harvesting doing the math work.

</ul>
Federal rules allow investors who lose money on certain securities to deduct part of their losses from taxable income. Most of these calculations come into play with stocks, but index funds, bonds, <a href="https://www.rentastic.io/blog/capital-gains-tax-loss-harvesting#:~:text=Capital%20Gains%20Tax%20Overview,year%20(The%20Tax%20Adviser).&amp;text=Hits%20like%20regular%20income%20taxes,40.8%25%20for%20the%20big%20earners.&amp;text=More%20like%20a%20%22nice%20to,%25%20for%20the%20well%2Doff.&amp;text=Knock%20down%20both%20short%2D%252">real estate</a> and even cryptocurrency can meet loss requirements. Instead of doing-it-yourself, automated tax-loss harvesting can now match up those gains and losses daily.&nbsp;
Note: traditional 401(k) retirement accounts can't harvest losses because they are not taxed until distribution.&nbsp;
Automated harvesting is generally free for small investors through popular <a href="https://www.schwab.com/automated-investing/what-is-a-robo-advisor">robo-advisors</a>, requiring just a quick opt-in. According to Kiplinger, the AI harvests when an investor sells assets, including stocks, that have lost value and uses the proceeds to offset gains from other assets. However, these transactions can conflict with the equally arcane wash sale rule, which may change official entry and exit prices of affected instruments.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JPM">JPMorgan Chase</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) <a href="https://www.chase.com/personal/investments/learning-and-insights/article/what-is-a-wash-sale-things-to-know#:~:text=The%20wash%2Dsale%20rule%20prevents,tax%20benefits%20of%20realizing%20losses.">explains</a> the wash sale rule, which triggers when you sell a security at a loss and buy a "substantially identical" security within 30 days. IRS created this market prohibition to "prevent taxpayers from deducting paper losses without significantly changing their market position." Harvesting AI solves this issue by considering wash sales when matching up transactions used to reduce capital gains and/or increase capital losses.
Extensive back-end record-keeping is needed for daily tax-loss harvesting. Kiplinger notes the complexity of this task, citing an example in which a portfolio has 15 securities, each with 15 tax lots, or groupings with the same entry price and time stamp. That equals 225 total lots needing review before any harvesting. Now, imagine how many terabytes are required to examine the thousands of trades done each year by some short-term players.
Harvesting and other broker tech now examine enormous records and match them daily. This adds to an automation trend that started in <a href="https://help.streetsmart.schwab.com/edge/1.6/Content/wash_sale.htm#:~:text=A%20Wash%20Sale%20occurs%20when,the%20loss%20can%20be%20taken.">2011</a> when the IRS required brokers to recalculate the security's cost basis in real time to account for wash sales. This is why some investors still scratch their heads, trying to figure out why the prices and profits reported on monthly statements don't match their transactions.

<a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/how-direct-indexing-can-be-a-smarter-way-to-invest">Direct index</a> strategies have multiplied like rabbits since automated tax-loss harvesting came into popular use. In this scheme, large investors buy stocks of an index directly, and in proportion to the underlying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/equal-weight-etfs">weighting</a>. Harvesting then consumes orders of magnitude more data than Kiplinger's example, capturing losses up to 40% of the portfolio, or "nearly double" common ETF-to-ETF trading strategies.
Despite its promise, the benefits of this artificial intelligence are negligible if small investors don't actively buy and sell stocks. As Kitces.com columnist Ben Hendry-Moreland <a href="https://www.kitces.com/blog/automated-tax-loss-harvesting-technology-software-value-risks-gaps-benefits/">notes</a>, much of this technology "fails to consider the individual tax circumstances." And he admits that, "in reality, not all investors may benefit from tax-loss harvesting."
