After finishing 2024 with the third-best performance of the S&P 500’s 100 sectors, the financial sector is wrapping up 2025 with strong momentum that could carry into 2026.
Over the past month, the sector has risen 4.18%. And after the Federal Reserve enacted its third and final interest rate cut of the year, the banks, insurance companies, credit services, fintech firms and payment processors who call the financials sector home are well-positioned for a strong start to 2026.
