Invesco QQQ, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and NU are the three Bank stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Bank stocks are shares of publicly traded banks and other depository financial institutions. Owning these stocks gives investors a proportional claim on the bank’s assets and earnings, which primarily derive from net interest income (the spread between loan and deposit rates) as well as fees and trading activities. Because banks are heavily regulated and sensitive to interest‐rate movements and credit conditions, their stock prices often reflect changes in monetary policy, loan performance, and economic outlook. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Bank stocks within the last several days.
