We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.

However, when it comes to this one, it couldn't be any simpler!

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US stocks.

Welcome to The Junior Hall of Famers.

This scan is composed of the next 150 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 150 and are thus covered by the Hall of Famers universe.

That's a lot of new products...

Many of which have the potential to generate billions of dollars.

Here's what Mr. Ford had to say about one of their most exciting pipeline products:

The big banks have been raking in billions of dollars each quarter from net interest income.

And despite the market's anticipation of rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year, they expect this to continue for the foreseeable future.

Here's what the CFO of Bank of America, Alastair Borthwick, had to say about it:

"Net interest income is affected by a variety of factors, including rates, the shape of the yield curve, and deposit activity. Currently, if we were to receive one 25 basis point cut per quarter, as the forwards indicate, NII would grow through the rest of 2025 to around $15.5 billion to $15.7 billion by Q4 of this year."

It's a fantastic time to be a bank...

Let's talk about what else happened with their reports.
