5 Finance Stocks Growing Faster than Tech

The S&P 500 finally made its first new all-time high in over two months this week, but this long-awaited milestone has obscured some of the market’s best-performing sectors.

In particular, financials have been on an extraordinary run, with the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund up nearly 20% since the end of March.

So if volatile tech stocks are still weighing on your portfolio, consider these five finance stocks with healthy dividends, strong earnings growth, and plenty of upward momentum to capture upside and income.

1st Source Corp.

Edge Momentum Score: 89.82 1st Source Corp. (NASDAQ: SRCE ) is a mid-cap U.S. bank headquartered in Indiana with a $2.18 billion market cap and $450 million in revenue over the last 12 months.

It’s also been one of the best-performing bank stocks on the market, gaining more than 44% year-to-date (YTD), partly thanks to a record quarter in Q2 2026.

The company posted EPS of $1.95 on revenue of $118 million, both quarterly records that beat consensus by 13.7% and 9.2%, respectively.

The EPS figure stands out in particular, growing 29% year-over-year (YoY), which should enable 1st Source to continue its generous shareholder returns.

The bank has already raised its quarterly dividend twice this year, from $0.40 to $0.43 and then to $0.45, but the dividend payout ratio (DPR) remains very manageable at 23.1%.

This is also the 38th consecutive year the company has raised its payout.

In addition to earnings growth and capital returns, investors have enjoyed strong upward momentum in SRCE’s share price.

The stock’s 44% YTD gain is buoyed by strong support at the 50-day moving average, and a Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) cross following earnings is leading the next leg up.

The Toronto Dominion Bank Edge Momentum Score: 89.49 We’re jumping from $2 billion to $200 billion with our next entry: TD Bank (NYSE: TD ), the Canadian conglomerate with a vast array of banking products and services for domestic and U.S. customers.

TD Bank has also become an earnings compounder, extracting more profit from every revenue dollar despite inconsistent sales growth.

The company has beaten EPS estimates in each of the last 6 quarters and has grown EPS by more than 20% sequentially in each of the last 3 quarters.

Strong earnings help support the dividend, which has the weakest track record of growth and the highest payout ratio at 50%.

But couple the 2.6% yield with a 28% YTD stock return, and TD Bank offers an intriguing mix of income and capital appreciation.

Investors may also be getting TD shares on sale at the moment.

The stock has retreated from its all-time high and is retesting the 50-day moving average, which has served as support for much of the last 12 months.

But the signal comes from the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which shows buyers flowing in as it crossed the bullish threshold of 50.

Upside momentum remains strong, and management continues to track fiscal 2026 EPS and return on equity (ROE) ahead of early-year targets.

BBVA Inc.

Edge Momentum Score: 90.18 One of the largest emerging-market banks, with a market cap of over $156 billion, BBVA (NYSE: BBVA ) earns the majority of its revenue in Spain and Mexico.

The company offers a full suite of banking services to commercial and traditional clients, including mortgages and wealth management.

On July 30, BBVA reported one of the best quarters in its history, with record EPS of $0.62 and a Q2-best revenue tally of $12.2 billion.

Revenue has grown by double digits YoY in 12 of the last 14 quarters, and management plans to deliver ample returns to shareholders through buybacks and dividends.

The current dividend yields 3.8% on a 49% payout ratio, which appears high but is sustainable for a company producing 22% ROE.

BBVA shares are "only" up 21% YTD, making it one of the weaker performers on our list.

But the stock broke out of a trading range in early June, and now half of that YTD gain has occurred in the last 30 days.

The RSI confirms the bullish breakout with a double rejection at the 50 threshold, clearing the way for new highs.

Credicorp Ltd.

Edge Momentum Score: 87.86 Peruvian-based Credicorp (NYSE: BAP ) has ballooned its market cap north of $31 billion following a 38% YTD stock return.

The South American banking industry is always volatile, but Credicorp is posting some of its best numbers in over a decade.

Q2 2026 EPS figures missed estimates and failed to top double-digit YoY growth for the first time since Q2 2024.

However, $6.59 per share is still a quarterly record, and the Street projects another record in Q3 at $7.20 per share (BAP reports after market close on August 13).

BAP also has the best dividend story among our five stocks: a $14.48 annual payout per share (current yield of 3.6%), supported by a 45% payout ratio and a 5-year history of hefty payout increases.
