Financial Stocks To Consider – June 15th

Visa, Circle Internet Group, and UnitedHealth Group are the three Financial stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Financial stocks are equity shares of companies operating in the financial sector—such as banks, insurance firms, asset managers and brokerages. Owning these stocks gives investors a proportional claim on the issuing company’s profits, which can be paid out as dividends or reflected in share-price appreciation. Because their earnings depend heavily on interest-rate movements, credit cycles and regulatory changes, financial stocks often exhibit sensitivity to economic and policy shifts. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Financial stocks within the last several days.
