SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF

KRE tracks an equal-weighted index of US regional banking stocks.

Despite all the doomsday pessimism surrounding the regional banking crisis when it peaked in March 2023, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF has outperformed the broader S&P 500 Index. Since we initiated our "Strong Buy" rating on KRE, the fund has gained by 19.9% versus 9.9% on the SPX. Given a 2- to 3-year investment horizon and a forward P/E multiple of just 8.3x, we still see substantial upside potential for KRE.
