One year later: Bank failures and lessons learned

The world feels a lot different than it did a year ago.

Last week back in March 2023, the near-simultaneous collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and Silvergate Bank shook confidence in the banking system. Many feared a recession was inevitable. Some predicted a stock market crash akin to the Global Financial Crisis.

Yet, the policy response was swift and meaningful. In a short-time, recession obsession faded as the economy proved resilient, and stocks marched onto new all-time highs.

But that doesn’t mean the landscape is without scars: More than three-fourths of U.S. regional banks’ share prices are lower than before the stress began. And while investors no longer fear bank runs, encumbered commercial real estate (CRE) remains a concern. Bank profitability is still under pressure amid high rates, emergency-era lending is coming to a close, and regulation is just getting started.

This week’s Top Market Takeaways unpacks what’s changed over the last year, what’s stayed the same, and what could be ahead. Through risks and market swings, we remain constructive on the path ahead.

What’s changed: There’s been a lot of good

  • The economy has powered on. When things felt especially bad, Street expectations for a recession surged as high as 75%. While we were also concerned, we didn’t think the episode would be a repeat of the GFC: policymakers had the tools needed to navigate stress, the banking system as a whole looked sound, the economy was coming from a place of strength, and the magnitude and potential for contagion seemed smaller. That proved true. From there, consumers showed resilience, fiscal stimulus provided powerful support, and an influx of new workers helped swiftly rebalance the labor market. Today, consensus recession probabilities are back down to about 30%, and economists have been revising their U.S. growth estimates even higher. 
  • Inflation progress has been real (albeit bumpy), and cuts coming for good reason. As recession fears raged, markets quickly priced out all Fed hikes and even saw three cuts in 2023 to stem the foreseen bleeding – despite core inflation still running at a near 6% annual clip. Yet, strength took root, and the Fed actually hiked a further three times. 

    Now, cuts seem in the cards in 2024 – but for very different reasons: last week’s CPI print for February showed that core inflation is at a less-hot 3.8% year-over-year, the coolest it’s been in almost three years. That said, we’d be remiss not to acknowledge that this CPI print, and the one on producer prices last week (PPI), were both hotter-than-expected and too heady for the Fed’s liking. That’s caused some nervousness on how disinflation progresses from here: 10-year Treasury yields have moved almost +20bps higher on the week. We agree that the strength of the economy and the stickiness of inflation have made rate cuts less urgent than they seemed at the start of the year, but we consider the recent data more of a speed bump than a roadblock. Considering tailwinds across the labor market, shelter, supply chains, we continue to see inflation progress as on track towards the Fed’s 2% target over the next year.

The inflation battle isn’t fully won – but it’s made meaningful progress

  • Stocks are making all-time highs, but not everyone is joining in. In the end, last year’s bank stress only prompted the S&P 500 to sell off -8%, and the full year still finished a staggering +26% higher. So far this year, the S&P 500 has made 17 new all-time highs, and it’s not just big tech: the equal-weight index likewise notched its first record in two years last week. Yet, areas of the market that are more in the bank-stress-crosshairs are still showing weakness. Regional banks remain an outlier, and even that is skewed by the most at-risk lenders. Those with more CRE exposure have fared the worst, while some of those with less exposure have actually posted gains over the last year.

One year later: Some have powered on, others still struggle

It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

What’s stayed the same: There are still risks

  • Regional banks aren’t out of the woods. Some of the sorest spots had ultra-concentrated customer bases, particularly in once high-flying parts of the market that burned through cash and relied on easy money, like crypto, venture capital, and start-ups. Moreover, with interest rates higher, all banks have been under pressure to up the ante on deposits (i.e., pay more) to keep savers in the door—if they can’t hack it, they risk their customers yanking their business and going elsewhere. We learned the hard lesson of how that and the worst-case-scenario of deposit flight can put pressure on banks’ balance sheets, especially regionals that aren’t as well-capitalized or diversified: loans made when rates were low quickly became less valuable as the Fed hiked, and thus couldn’t be sold as easily when times turned hard. 

    Today, a number of regional banks still look undercapitalized when we account for unrealized losses on their balance sheets. Tension may remain until rates start to fall meaningfully (increasing the value of existing loans) and they rebuild their capital buffers. We don’t see an imminent catalyst bringing about the collapse of another bank, but profitability pressure may remain for some time yet.
  • Commercial real estate is a source of vulnerability. Compared to big banks, small banks hold 4.4 times more exposure to U.S. CRE loans than their larger peers. Within that cohort of small banks, CRE loans make up almost 30% of their assets, compared with only 6.5% at big banks. So far, we’ve only seen a minimal pick-up in delinquencies, but transparency in the space is limited and a significant percentage of CRE loans will require refinancing in the coming years (and at much higher rates when they were first taken out). If too many loans go bad quickly, that could create a bigger problem for those small banks that are under-reserved.

    Understanding industry trends are important to hone in on areas of stress. Here, the office sector – wracked by the widespread adoption of hybrid work – continues to face its own unique set of challenges while other areas still look solid (think industrial assets, logistics properties, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses). We don’t think stress and potential losses within office CRE are likely to destabilize the broader system. In all, it represents just 0.35% of U.S. GDP. 

Within CRE, vacancies are concentrated in the office sector

  • Credit is still tighter, but stabilizing. 
    Many worried that the spate of banking stress would harm growth, as tighter lending standards and profitability challenges led banks to reduce available financing and raise costs for small and medium sized businesses. To be sure, lending growth did slow. Yet, as we mentioned, the economy defied expectations, and now, loan growth is stabilizing again.

Tighter credit conditions are still a risk we’re monitoring. But while interest costs are higher and now take up a larger share of corporate and consumer income compared to the past, balance sheets and cash flows remain healthy overall. Some interest rate sensitive sectors, like housing and manufacturing, are even seeing some signs of green shoots.

What could be ahead: Searching for long-term solutions

As the drama unfolded, swift and coordinated action by the FDIC, Fed, Treasury, and even a consortium of U.S. banks did much to offer liquidity, reassure bank depositors, and still calm. As part of that, the Fed created a historic Bank Term Funding Program to provide emergency support. Now, in a sign of the more stable times, that program ended (as expected) last week. As we now move beyond the band-aid fixes, that poses the question: what is the long-term solution for banking sector stability?

Regulators are working to bolster the health of the banking system. The Fed and others are tightening their grip on capital requirements for banks through the likes of Basel III Endgame and other measures that increase the need for short-term liquidity. That signals that steps are being made in the right direction, but the balance between security and industry concerns is still a work in progress. Chair Powell signalled last week that the central bank is even considering a “broad” overhaul of its initial capital requirement proposals. 

That said, it’s worth noting one learning from the latest Q4 earnings season: The biggest, systemically important banks still signposted strong capitalization. That’s a good sign that large banks have a good buffer ahead of potential regulatory changes or even the risk of an economic slowdown. 

Finding opportunity through the risks

In the end, staying invested prevailed over the last year. It’s also worth noting last week marks the four-year anniversary of the start of the COVID drawdown, when the S&P 500 fell almost 10% in a single day. As an unexpected pandemic gripped the globe, it would have felt really tempting to hit “sell.” But if you’d held onto your investment, it would have grown over +120% from that day until now. 

Time makes a lot of difference. As we look forward and purvey the current landscape, we see a host attractive investment choices across asset classes. We believe stocks can continue to make new highs, and bonds are now in a different regime. And as much as tighter credit and stress is a risk, it can also create opportunity for investors. For instance, private lenders can collect a premium for providing capital, and stress-focused managers can take advantage of mispriced assets and loans in areas like commercial real estate.

As with the past year, investors should rely on steady hands to guide their long-term portfolios, and focus on investments that can protect and grow their wealth over time. Your J.P. Morgan team is here to discuss what portfolio options work best for you and your family.

Your investments and potential conflicts of interest

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio's investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
