iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF (EUFN)

European banks have delivered strong returns since 2018, outperforming US peers and benefiting from improved balance sheets and higher interest rates.

WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund ETF provides currency-hedged, diversified European exposure, outperforming over the last decade, but EUFN has led in recent years except for short-term periods.

EUFN is tracking for its best year on record. With a low P/E and incredible momentum, the fundamentals and technicals align well. I call out key price levels to monitor as we approach the second half of 2025.

Recent interest rate cuts should result in weaker net interest income in 2025, impacting earnings growth in 2025. I expect the main earnings driver this year to be share repurchases.
