Which Bank Stocks Will Perform Best in 2025? Here’s my take, blending data and a bit of intuition: Top Pick: JPMorgan Chase (JPM) JPMorgan’s dominance, diversified revenue streams, and ability to capitalize on both NII growth and investment banking make it the safest bet for outperformance. Its 56% gain in 2024 shows momentum, and it’s best positioned for a “cyclical inferno” (as BofA’s Savita Subramanian calls it) driven by Fed cuts, deregulation, and profit acceleration. Strong Contender: Bank of America (BAC) BAC offers a compelling mix of value and growth. At $47, it’s trading below some analyst targets (e.g., $52), and its NII forecast ($15.7 billion by Q4) plus a 2.51% dividend yield suggest total returns could hit 20-27% in 2025, per some X sentiment. It’s less flashy than JPM but a

Bear Case: Global supply increases (e.g., non-OPEC production) and a potential demand peak (ExxonMobil’s own 2050 Outlook) could cap oil at $60-$70, pressuring margins. J.P. Morgan’s November 2024 warning of trade war volatility adds downside risk. Financial Strength 2024 Results: ExxonMobil reported $33.7

Nasdaq plunge have resulted in the index in correction territory . What’s Driving the Plunge? The immediate trigger appears to be escalating trade tensions following the Trump administration’s rollout of new tariffs—25% on imports from Canada and Mexico, and doubled duties on Chinese goods—implemented earlier this week. These moves sparked retaliatory threats from affected nations, injecting volatility into an already jittery market. Tech stocks, heavily reliant on global supply chains, took the brunt of the hit. For instance, automakers like Ford and General Motors, with intricate North American operations, dropped 2.9% and 4.6%, respectively, on March 4, while chipmakers like Marvell Technology saw a 17% plunge after a lackluster outlook. Beyond tariffs, broader concerns are at play. Hig
