Thus, Wall Street analysts expect Charles Schwab (SCHW), Raymond James (RJF), and LPL Financial (NASDAQ:LPLA) to deliver solid returns in the near term. Let’s discuss.Despite the Fed’s announcement on July 29 that it will keep benchmark interest rates near zero and its bond-buying program unchanged for now, the financial sector has been witnessing a steady recovery on the back of increasing financial transactions and capital market activities.

Adding to the positives, the Federal Reserve has signaled two interest rate hikes as soon as late 2023, a year earlier than anticipated, which should help financial companies expand their interest income.
