It’s like the rally never happened.
Bank stocks are now cheaper, relative to the market, than they were before the election, as investor giddiness over tax reform and financial deregulation hits a political reality in which neither seems all that likely.
The KBW Nasdaq Bank Index is trading at a price-earnings ratio that’s just 72% of the S&P 500′s, versus 76% on Oct. 31, according to KBW analysts. That ratio got as high as 89% in late January as the Trump administration hit the ground running.
The KBW Nasdaq Regional Banking Index is trading at 87% of the broader market, versus 91% before the election.
Of course, in terms of price, bank stocks are still well ahead of where they were prior to the election. The KBW Bank index is up 20% since Nov. 8 versus a 13% gain for the S&P 500. And some bank stock remain well ahead of both: Bank of America shares have notched a 33% gain.
Still, most of those increases came in the immediate wake of the election. Returns have tapered off of late: Financials are the third-worst performing sector in the S&P 500 this year, with most big banks coughing up about half of their peak post-election gains.
The Trump administration has made little progress on initiatives that would jumpstart bank stocks, such as tax reform and Dodd-Frank rollback. And low volatility continues to take its toll, with several CEOs signaling last week that trading revenues were likely to be lower in the second quarter.
It’s a remarkable reversal. Financials were the S&P 500′s best-performing sector during the fourth quarter. Goldman Sachs, perceived as the biggest beneficiary of a lighter regulatory touch in Washington, hit a new all-time high. (Wall Street executives, it should be noted, took the opportunity to sell more than $100 million worth of stock in the weeks following the election.)
Still analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Wood smell a bargain in the whipsawed stocks: “It is hard to argue for further underperformance for the sector, [given that] interest rates are higher and regulation isn’t getting worse.”

Sustainable Brands® recently announced Detroit Ento as the winner of the Sustainable Brands Innovation Open (SBIO) startup competition, co-sponsored by Whirlpool and with technology provided by YouNoodle and awards provided by Rivanna Natural Designs. The competition, culminating at SB’17 Detroit, May 22-25, attracted world-changing entrepreneurial teams with unique ideas to solving some of the world’s pressing environmental and social concerns.
Detroit Ento specializes in the production/processing of insect proteins and byproducts for food, feed and pharmaceuticals. The company works with local schools in Detroit to hire and build Ag-tech and manufacturing skills development for local Detroiters. They hope that their food model will be more sustainable in the short term, but also that their model will equip the next generation to take on the diverse challenges of food production and population growth.
The ten additional 2017 SBIO semi-finalists included:
Bluon Energy – creates an R-22 replacement refrigerant that increases energy efficiency and extends the life of existing HVAC-R equipment.
eKutir Global PBC – uses digital technologies and artificial intelligence to identify and train community agents that will help connect markets, finance and knowledge to small farmers.
Full Cycle Bioplastics – mitigates plastic pollution by making compostable bioplastic, PHA, from mixed organic and cellulosic waste.
GoPure Water Purifier – presenting their GoPure Pod, a portable, cork-sized and re-usable purification device that absorbs contaminants found in ordinary tap water. The POD remains effective for 2,000 uses in a standard liter water bottle.
Immotor, LLC – produces intelligent and safe modular battery solutions, including the GO: a sleek, ulta-compact, multi-functional electric personal vehicle.
NewGen Surgical, Inc. – develops and manufactures sustainably designed, single-use medical devices and surgical products, with the hope of minimizing plastic waste in the O.R.
RAPPORT – gives enterprises access to environmental impact data locked in hidden parts of their supply chain while also communicating to suppliers real-time impact data and best practices to cut costs and carbon.
Totem Power – offering a platform that combines solar, energy storage and EV charging with 4G/5G/Wifi communications for modern campuses and cities.
toxnot PBC – facilitates company transparency about the chemicals they use and their impact with design tools, client communications and supply chain intelligence so companies can promote and sell better products.
Verb – helps companies develop talent through a purpose-driven, online employee engagement platform that provides employees with personalized learning connected to impact.
The 11 semi-finalists pitched their business plans before attendees and a panel of judges on Tuesday, May 23rd. Of those, 4 finalists were selected to deliver their pitches before the full SB audience and on the main stage. They were Detroit Ento, Bluon Energy, Totem Power and Full Cycle Bioplastics. Both the panel of judges as well as the SB audience chose Detroit Ento as the SBIO competition winner. They won a ticket to all SB conferences for the next 3 years as well as consultations with both Whirlpool and Ford Motor Company to strengthen their business case/model.
“The Innovation Open aims to recognize innovative tools and solutions that are driving environmental and social impact” says Riley Scherer, Manager at Sustainable Brands. “These entrepreneurs seek to disrupt, and the Sustainable Brands community embraces that passion. The ideas that will come to light from these contenders will spark conversations and inspiration for even the most advanced brands.”
The SB Innovation Open at SB’17 Detroit was co-sponsored by Whirlpool. YouNoodle was the technology partner and Rivanna Natural Designs was the award provider. Further information about SB’17 Detroit, including the Innovation Open and the Activation Hub, can be found at www.sb17detroit.com.
