Their exposure to struggling industries like airlines and tourism only adds to the pressure. Despite some sectors thriving, banking shares remain down roughly 30% for the year. It's reminiscent of the plight of airline stocks, with profitability seeming like a distant dream amidst rising loan defaults and a prolonged period of unchanged interest rates.
