UBS Group's latest research report indicates that despite concerns that “bank stocks will peak” in the market, US mid-sized bank stocks still have significant potential to rise under favorable macroeconomic circumstances and expectations of industry consolidation. Analyst Timur Brazier emphasized in the report that the banking industry is currently in the best operating environment for decades. “Despite concerns about a 'bank peak', we expect that steady performance, attractive relative value, and a recovery in M&A activity in the second half of the year will continue to raise the group's valuation by 20%.”
