Bruce Bennett/Getty Images News Bank stocks are attracting renewed interest from investors as speculation mounts that the Federal Reserve may soon raise interest rates. Despite President Donald Trump’s public expectations that incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will cut rates, Regan Capital’s Chief Investment Officer Skyler Weinand believes the central bank may actually be forced to move in the opposite direction. Higher interest rates typically benefit banks by widening their net interest margins—the spread between what they earn on loans and pay on deposits. Among the top-rated bank stocks by Seeking Alpha’s Quant system rating , Bank of America ( BAC ) leads the pack with a Strong Buy rating of 4.94 and a market cap of $353.69 B .

Douglas Rissing Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran has submitted his resignation, effective when or shortly before his successor swears in. Miran joined the board on September 16, 2025, to fill an unexpired term ending January 31, 2026. The news comes a day after Kevin Warsh was confirmed by the Senate to be the next chair of the Fed in a 54-45 vote. Warsh will take the reins of the Fed after current Chair Jerome Powell's term ends on May 15. Powell had said he'll continue to serve as governor for a time after his chair term ends in May. In January, Miran had said in an interview with CNBC News that Warsh will take his seat on the board of governors. Miran had served as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers before his appointment to the Fed board.

Joshua Kushner ’s Thrive Capital has taken a stake in Shopify Inc. , according to people familiar with the matter, marking a rare bet from the venture firm on a public company. Thrive, best known for bets on startups like OpenAI, informed its stakeholders that it has invested about $100 million in the e-commerce company, said one of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the information is not public. The investment is framed as a bet on how artificial intelligence could lead to gains in commerce, said the people. Thrive is part of a small crop of venture investors seeking returns from the public market at a time when startups are taking longer to make their Wall Street debuts. The firm previously made $522 million by investing in car marketplace Carvana , Bloomberg has reported. Accel, another venture investor, backed cloud computing provider Nebius Group NV . Thrive declined to comment. Shopify did not have an immediate response to a request for comment. For years, Shopify mostly focused on mom and pops looking to set up online stores, but more recently it has had some success attracting larger brands. Shopify is betting that the order volume generated by bigger retailers will help it grow faster than by relying on its existing base of smaller firms. Shares of Shopify slumped last month after the company’s outlook suggested its revenue growth pace may be slowing, while higher costs may dampen second-quarter profitability. Shopify’s stock is now down about 40% this year. Kushner has found outsized success with Thrive’s investments in startups like SpaceX , Stripe and OpenAI . Earlier this year, Thrive raised more than $10 billion for its largest fund to date. Thrive and some of its peers, including Accel and Andreessen Horowitz, are registered investment advisers. That designation allows them to back public companies using the same funds as they do for private firms.

Furthermore, Ørsted's ( DNNGY ) lean balance sheet provides option value for a capex reboot as one of the few remaining re-leveraging trades in the sector, according to Morgan Stanley analysts led by Robert Pulleyn, who upgraded shares given a combination of lower risk on U.S. projects and estimated 13% earnings per share compound annual growth rate during 2025-30, energy security beneficiary given the likely role of offshore wind, and power price driven EPS/NPV upgrades ahead. Pulleyn and the analysts see re-rating levers for Ørsted ( DNNGY ) in both further de-risking of the U.S. Sunrise project, which is not priced in, and/or the company securing new projects. The bank views RWE ( RWEOY ) and SSE ( SSEZY ) ( SSEZF ) as well as Ørsted ( DNNGY ) among European alternative energy stocks as "key renewable developers with balance sheet strength to accelerate capacity additions."
