Earnings Scheduled For April 18, 2024

A fresh unexpected surge in inflation blindsided markets, shattering hopes for imminent Fed rate cuts and sending stocks down across the board. In March 2024, the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate surged to 3.5%, up from February&#8217;s 3.2%, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38181302/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-5-in-march-derails-june-rate-cut-hopes">expectations set at 3.4%. </a>
Adding to concerns, core inflation, which excludes energy and food, also exceeded expectations, reaching 3.8% compared to the anticipated 3.7%, dismissing any justifications solely attributed to higher gasoline price pressures. 
Consequently, investors sharply revised down their expectations for Fed rate cuts, now anticipating the commencement of any easing policy no earlier than September, with less than two rate cuts expected by year-end.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Hot/Cold In The CPI Basket?</h3>
Expenditure categories witnessing the highest month-over-month seasonally adjusted price increase in March were: 
<ul>
<li>Motor vehicle insurance: +2.6%</li>
<li>Motor vehicle maintenance and repair: +1.7%</li>
<li>Gasoline (all types): +1.7%</li>
<li>Hospital services: +1%</li>
<li>Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs: +0.9%</li>
</ul>
Those showing the lowest monthly inflation were: 
<ul>
<li>Fuel oil: down 1.3%</li>
<li>Used cars and trucks: down 1.1%</li>
<li>Cereals and bakery products: down 0.9%</li>
<li>Other food at home: down 0.5%</li>
<li>Airline fares: down 0.4%</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday&#8217;s Sector Performance </h3>
By midday trading in New York, losses were broad-based within indices. 
<ul>
<li>454 out of S&amp;P 500 stocks traded in the red</li>
<li>93 Nasdaq 100 stocks were negative</li>
<li>1,783 out of Russell 2000 stocks were negative</li>
<li>898 out of Russell 1000 stocks were negative</li>
</ul>
No sectors managed to evade daily losses, with rate-sensitive pockets of the markets, such as real estate, feeling the brunt more acutely than others.
Energy managed to hold almost steady, as rising gasoline prices improved the outlook for oil companies.

<h3>What are Value Stocks?</h3>
A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued. 
<h2>The following stocks are considered to be notable value stocks in the financial services sector:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Meridian (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRBK#NASDAQ">MRBK</a>) - P/E: 8.52</li>
<li>Intl General Insurance (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGIC#NASDAQ">IGIC</a>) - P/E: 6.07</li>
<li>Old Second Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OSBC#NASDAQ">OSBC</a>) - P/E: 6.61</li>
<li>OceanFirst Financial (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OCFC#NASDAQ">OCFC</a>) - P/E: 8.96</li>
<li>Peoples Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEBO#NASDAQ">PEBO</a>) - P/E: 8.44</li>

5 Value Stocks In The Financial Services Sector

More than a dozen banks in the U.S. find themselves under the keen eye of financial watchdogs due to their sizable portfolios of commercial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/commercial-real-estate">real estate (CRE) loans.</a>
The Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency jointly indicated their intent to scrutinize banks with CRE loan portfolios exceeding triple their capital and with growth that has exceeded 50% over the past three years. 
New York Community Bancorp, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NYCB#NYSE">NYCB</a>) is not among institutions deserving increasing scrutiny. Despite having a CRE loan to total capital ratio of 462% — surpassing the regulatory concern threshold of 300% — NYCB&#8217;s portfolio growth of 25% over the past five years keeps it below the critical 50% growth threshold that watchdogs find alarming. 
This distinction is particularly noteworthy in light of NYCB&#8217;s recent underperformance and increased investor scrutiny following a lackluster earnings report earlier this month.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Regional Banks Under the Microscope </h3>
A Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-15/which-banks-may-face-scrutiny-of-commercial-real-estate-exposure?srnd=premium&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">analysis</a> of federal data spanning over 350 bank holding companies highlighted that numerous smaller lenders have attracted increased regulatory scrutiny. This is because they&#8217;ve rapidly built up significantly large concentrations in their CRE portfolios in recent years.
Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLY#NASDAQ">VLY</a>) is identified as the largest institution that fits the criteria for heightened regulatory examination, with a staggering 80% growth in CRE loans over the past three years and an exposure that constitutes 471% of its total capital. 
Alongside Valley National, other banks such as HomeStreet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMST#NASDAQ">HMST</a>), First Foundation Inc.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Despite the regulatory cloud hanging over these institutions, the broader regional bank industry, as monitored by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), witnessed a 2.4% uptick on Thursday. 
This surge is attributed to a confluence of factors, including some positive news derived from the latest 13F filings and the market anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts prompted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37156844/retail-sales-sink-in-january-manufacturing-indicators-improve-jobless-claims-fall-thursdays-econ">disappointing retail sales data.</a>
A couple of renowned fund managers added exposure to New York Community Bancorp in the fourth quarter of 2023. Notable among them is Soros Fund Management, which escalated its stake to 1,476,180 shares, valued at $15 million by the quarter&#8217;s end. Similarly, AQR Capital Management and Millennium Management substantially increased their holdings in New York Community Bancorp.
