U.S. bank stocks declined in February, underperforming the broader market as 205 analyzed institutions saw a median total return of -2.1%, worse than the S&P 500’s -0.8% drop. The median price-to-adjusted tangible book value (TBV) ratio fell to 139.3% by February 27, down from 144.5% in January and 140.0% at December 2025’s end, signaling weakening investor confidence. The analysis, covering 205 banks, highlights sector-wide struggles amid broader economic uncertainty, though specific drivers for the decline remain unspecified in the report. Valuation metrics suggest banks are trading at lower multiples compared to recent months, reflecting potential concerns over asset quality or profitability pressures. The data, sourced from S&P Global Market Intelligence, underscores the sector’s lagging performance relative to the S&P 500 during the month.
