Do you mean treasury stock?
If so,
it doesn't mean treasury stock but the companies in the industry of finance
From my perspective, the definition for many accounts of financial companies that are so different from others, the assets and liabilities are mainly intangible, causing different profit earning channels and methods. It's better to talk about the issue for these companies and those in other business segments separately when doing research.
Hopefully that can help.
