· Business · Bloomberg, Economic Times
US bank stocks have dropped roughly 13% since August amid concerns that widespread artificial intelligence agents will undermine low-cost deposit retention. Despite this recent selloff driven by the AI scare trade, analysts at Morgan Stanley view the current stock prices as an attractive entry point for investors. Wall Street is poised to deliver another strong financial quarter, making the sector's current cheap valuation a potential win. Morgan Stanley analyst Manan Gosalia notes that the market narrative surrounding the deposit threat is overdone.
