The iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF (EUFN) offers pure-play exposure to developed European financial stocks, emphasizing banks and giant-caps. EUFN trades at 25-30% valuation discounts to US financials, boasts a 3.58% yield, and could provide useful portfolio diversification given a relatively low beta with the S&P500. Risks include heavy bank exposure amid weak European GDP growth, declining net interest income, and above-average tracking error versus its index.

I rate iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF a Buy, as recent performance and favorable equity factors suggest a good entry point compared to other European and U.S. financial ETFs. EUFN offers a 4% yield, solid dividend growth, and broad exposure to European financials, but comes with higher volatility and currency risk. WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund ETF provides currency-hedged, diversified European exposure, outperforming over the last decade, but EUFN has led in recent years except for short-term periods.
EUFN is tracking for its best year on record. With a low P/E and incredible momentum, the fundamentals and technicals align well. I call out key price levels to monitor as we approach the second half of 2025.

European financials are benefiting from higher interest rates, driving EPS growth of 8% and expanding ROE to 12%. The ETF's valuation is attractive at 9.5x PE and 1.1x PEG vs US large banks at 12x and 1.5x PEG. There is further re-rating potential as the sector closes the gap with US peer. A 10.6x PE would increase the ETF upside to 10%.

The iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF invests in European financial stocks, with the largest exposure to the UK, Switzerland, and Germany. Recent interest rate cuts should result in weaker net interest income in 2025, impacting earnings growth in 2025. I expect the main earnings driver this year to be share repurchases. Looking into 2026 and beyond, the impact of interest rate cuts should begin to fade while ongoing restructuring efforts will boost operating performance.
