Regional banks rebound as profitability returns.
TL;DR Summary
Shares in US regional banks, including PacWest Bancorp, jumped on Friday after analysts upgraded several lenders they said were oversold, though some investors worry the surge may be short-lived. The rebound may not signal a long-term shift in sentiment, and the market may be anticipating some kind of government support for the sector in coming days. Short-sellers reaped a combined $430.47 million in paper profits betting against PacWest, Western Alliance, Zion and First Horizon on Thursday, according to data from analytics firm Ortex.
