Worst-ranked financial of 19 rated by US Gov't Graphic_rating_sell STI

Stress Test results indicated that STI had to raise the most money as compared to it's equity.

Big Swings

Investors fear the unknown. Pronounced sentiment swings have left bank stocks in recent weeks regularly falling (and sometimes rising) several percent in a single day.

And while lenders have slashed payouts to preserve capital, the share declines have left many with high dividend yields that may be unsustainable if earnings stay depressed.

Citigroup and KeyCorp have yields of 7.8 percent and 7.1 percent, despite deep dividend cuts.
