Top 15 Financial Services Stocks Right Now
Marvin's rules picked 15 Financial Services stocks, led by Gold.com, Provident Financial, Victory Capital and WesBanco, which share the top Overall score. Scores compare each company with others in its own industry.
Financial Services covers banks, insurers, asset managers, brokers and lenders. This list shows the 15 companies in the sector with the highest Marvin Overall scores as of 2026-10-20. Gold.com, Provident Financial Services, Victory Capital and WesBanco are tied at the top.
The list mixes several kinds of businesses, and the same measure can mean different things in each. A bank's debt looks very different from a manufacturer's, and an insurer's results can swing with claims. Treat the figures below as a starting point for reading, not a verdict.
Some figures are missing for certain companies, and one bank on the list shows falling revenue and a loss in its latest year. A high score describes how a company compares with industry peers today. It does not predict what the stock will do.
The list
How Marvin ranked these stocks
Marvin included companies above a minimum size threshold and ranked them by Overall score within the Financial Services sector, highest first, with a small cap on how many come from any one industry. Each score is relative to the company's own industry, so a bank is compared with other banks and an insurer with other insurers. Scores show how a company stacks up against its peers today, not how its shares will perform.
Companies above about $300 million in size, ranked by Marvin scores (0-100, relative to each company's own industry). The Financial Services sector, highest Overall score first; at most 4 per industry.
The stocks, one by one
Gold.com, Inc. GOLD
Gold.com grew revenue by 132.4% in its last fiscal year and earned a return on equity of 9.4%, a solid result. The caution is a gross margin of only 1.8%, which leaves little room if costs rise. Operating margin is not available.
Provident Financial Services, Inc. PFS
Provident Financial Services posted revenue growth of 25.3% and an operating margin of 47.4%, which points to a profitable regional bank. Its return on equity of 10.8% is decent rather than outstanding, and no debt-to-equity figure is available.
Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. VCTR
Victory Capital pairs revenue growth of 46.2% with an operating margin of 41.3% and a return on equity of 19.4%, all strong. Its debt-to-equity ratio of 0.43 shows it does use some borrowing, which is worth watching.
WesBanco, Inc. WSBC
WesBanco grew revenue by 61.8% and kept an operating margin of 42.2%, signs of a growing and profitable bank. The caution is a return on equity of just 8.7%, modest next to others here. No debt figure is available.
American Integrity Insurance Group, Inc. AII
American Integrity Insurance Group shows an operating margin of 36.2%, a return on equity of 23.8% and very low debt, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09. The caution is a Quality score of 86, lower than most of this list.
Bank of Marin Bancorp BMRC
Bank of Marin Bancorp scores well against regional bank peers, but its latest figures are weak. Revenue growth was -59.9%, operating margin was -39.6% and return on equity was -3.6%. That means shrinking revenue and a loss, a clear caution.
First Busey Corporation BUSE
First Busey grew revenue by 55.7% with an operating margin of 38.0%, and its debt-to-equity ratio of 0.06 is very low. The caution is a return on equity of 9.7%, which is only moderate.
Hercules Capital, Inc. HTGC
Hercules Capital has a high operating margin of 63.0% and a return on equity of 16.8%, both healthy. Revenue growth was a modest 7.9%, and its debt-to-equity ratio of 1.03 shows meaningful borrowing.
Jefferson Capital, Inc. Common Stock JCAP
Jefferson Capital reports a return on equity of 32.6% and an operating margin of 45.8%, showing strong profitability, with revenue growth of 41.5%. The caution is a Quality score of 69, lower than many peers here, and no debt figure is available.
Piper Sandler Companies PIPR
Piper Sandler grew revenue by 24.5% and earned a return on equity of 22.4%, a good return. Its operating margin of 22.9% is thinner than most on this list, and no debt-to-equity figure is available.
Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. OTF
Blue Owl Technology Finance grew revenue by 67.5% and has an operating margin of 43.6%. The caution is a return on equity of only 5.0%, and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.95 shows it relies on borrowing.
Virtu Financial, Inc. VIRT
Virtu Financial reports revenue growth of 26.2% and a return on equity of 29.5%, a strong return. Its debt-to-equity ratio of 1.23 is on the higher side, and operating margin is not available, so profitability is harder to judge.
First American Financial Corporation FAF
First American Financial grew revenue by 21.6% and earned a return on equity of 13.3%, reasonable results. Its operating margin of 8.3% is thin compared with others on this list, and no debt-to-equity figure is available.
Fidus Investment Corporation FDUS
Fidus Investment had modest revenue growth of 6.6% and a return on equity of 10.5%. Its debt-to-equity ratio of 1.00 shows meaningful borrowing, and operating margin is not available, which limits what we can say about profitability.
Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. Common Stock SLDE
Slide Insurance Holdings shows an operating margin of 52.8%, a return on equity of 46.5% and very low debt, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03. The caution is that insurers' results can swing with claims, so one year's figures may not last.
Common questions
What does Marvin's Overall score mean?
The Overall score summarizes how a company compares with other companies in its own industry today. Higher means a stronger showing against those peers. It is not a forecast, and it does not say whether a stock is a good purchase.
Why are so many banks and insurers on this list?
Financial Services is made up largely of banks, insurers and asset managers, so they naturally make up much of the sector. Marvin's rules also limit how many stocks can come from any one industry, which keeps the list from being dominated by a single type of business.
Why are some figures missing for certain stocks?
Financial companies report their numbers differently from other businesses. Measures like free cash flow margin or gross margin often do not apply to banks and insurers, so Marvin only shows figures that are available for each company.
