The following stocks will benefit from fiscal spending and technological innovation, making them highly attractive in the short to medium term:
Mandiri Bank (PPERY.US) - "Indonesian banks like Mandiri Bank are expected to benefit from the interest rate cuts in the USA and domestically, which will help lower bond yields and funding costs, thereby improving net interest margins."
Bank of America (BAC.US) - "We believe Bank of America is a well-managed, diversified universal bank that has the ability to rebound from recent macroeconomic pressures and high interest rates."
Barclays (BCS.US) - Analysts stated, "(The company) management recently emphasized that they are revising financial targets and are committed to returning capital to shareholders." "Currently, the company's stock price is at the lower end of the European banking sector, and we believe this is not reflected in today's valuation, which does not align with actual value or potential."
Goldman Sachs Group (GS.US) - The bank "will benefit from rate cuts by major economies... Based on 2025's PE, its valuation is attractive."
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE.US) - "The company can benefit from increased market volatility and trading volume. We believe that in an uncertain macro environment, market volatility and trading volume may remain high."
Italy's Banco di San Paolo (ISNPY.US) - "We are bullish on Banco di San Paolo's diversified revenue mix, especially in a year of declining interest rates, as we expect expense growth to continue to accelerate."
MasterCard (MA.US) - "We believe the next decade will reward investments in disruptive technologies... The global rollout of 5G technology should accelerate this trend."
Société Générale (SCGLF) - Analysts said the stock "is one of the cheapest stocks in the industry (trading below 0.4 times book value)." "After last year's Investor Day and self-service options, market expectations have adjusted, and we believe the stock looks very attractive."
Standard Chartered (SCBFF.US) - This bank's stock price is below the industry average. "We believe it is unreasonable for a bank with tangible equity returns expected to reach 12% and a potential buyback far exceeding the $5 billion target."
Vonovia (VONOY.US) - "We believe that a decrease in interest rates may become a catalyst for stock prices, as it will ease the pressure of rising financing cost expectations in the future."
