Holding these shares gives investors an ownership stake in those institutions and potential returns through dividends and capital gains. Because their profitability often depends on interest rates, economic growth and regulatory policies, financial stocks can be sensitive to shifts in monetary policy and market conditions. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Financial stocks within the last several days.
