BANKS: A GOOD ENTRY POINT?
Just as with tech, dip buyers are also showing up for Europe's battered banking sector, even though there still could be fresh bouts of volatility before things properly calm down.
The latest one to show up is Goldman Sachs.
"In our view, the recent sharp underperformance in the European Banks sector presents an attractive entry opportunity," writ analysts at the U.S. investment bank.
"The backdrop for European Banks remains one of Better for Longer, in which sustained P&L momentum, coupled with capital flexibility, supports ongoing earnings growth and attractive capital distribution yields through the coming years," they add.
GS remains "constructive" on BNP BNPP.PA, also on its conviction list, Santander SAN.MC, Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE, Intesa Sanpaolo ISP.MI, KBC KBC.BR and UBS UBSG.S.
Banks .SX7P have lost as much as 13% this month vs a 9-year peak hit on July 31, trimming YTD gains to 10% and losing out to healthcare .SXDP the top spot across STOXX sectors.
