Promising Financial Stocks To Watch Today - June 1st

UnitedHealth Group, Berkshire Hathaway, and Salesforce are the three Financial stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Financial stocks are shares of companies in the financial services industry—such as banks, insurance firms, investment managers, and real-estate companies—that derive most of their revenue from interest, fees, underwriting, trading, or asset management. Investors buy financial stocks to gain exposure to the performance of credit markets, capital flows, and broad economic activity. Because their profitability often hinges on interest rates and economic cycles, financial stocks can be more sensitive to changes in monetary policy and market conditions than those in other sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Financial stocks within the last several days.
