Bank stocks are lagging despite broader market gains, fueled by credit risks and looming regulations. Investors should tread carefully—many are cyclical and volatile. Three banks stand out as cautionary tales: First Financial (FFIN), a Texas veteran with slowing revenue and earnings; WaFd Bank, whose net interest income lags peers and earnings remain flat despite rising revenue; and Republic Bancorp, facing weak demand forecasts and sluggish capital generation. Avoid these if you’re looking for stability.
