During Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's latest press conference, he was bullish on the banking industry despite the prevailing high interest rate environment.

Looking ahead, Mulberry emphasizes that quality and scale "will matter the most" for banks moving forward. On the other hand, Whalen advises looking at "the banks that actually perform well."
