What to Expect from Major Banks' Earnings Reports this Week
Major Earnings Reports from Leading Banks
This week marks the beginning of a series of significant earnings announcements, particularly from large banks and financial institutions. As firms prepare to disclose their quarterly results, investors eagerly anticipate insights that could influence market trends.
The excitement kicks off with five of the industry giants reporting their Q2 earnings, including JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), Citigroup (NYSE: C), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), BNY Mellon (NYSE: BK), and State Street (NYSE: STT). Also joining them is the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), which will unveil its earnings for the first quarter.
On Wednesday, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), PNC Bank (NYSE: PNC), and First Horizon (NYSE: FHN) will follow suit to release their results.
Other notable banks to watch for earnings this week include US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) and Citizens Financial (NYSE: CFG), which are set to present on Thursday. Finally, Friday will see earnings from American Express (NYSE: AXP), Ally (NYSE: ALLY), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW), Truist (NYSE: TFC), Regions Financial (NYSE: RF), and Comerica (NYSE: CMA).
This week, anticipation mounts for what these financial institutions will report. Analyst Betsy Graseck from Morgan Stanley predicts that growth will stem from increased investment banking activity, stronger trading volumes, and elevated asset levels. The M&A activity is reported to be up by 30% compared to the same quarter last year, while trading volume increased by 49% year-over-year. The markets also experienced gains, with the Nasdaq advancing approximately 13% and the S&P 500 by about 4% in Q2.
Pivotal Earnings from Other Major Companies
Amidst the bank earnings, other significant names set to report include the streaming giant Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) on Thursday. Analysts project earnings of $7.06 per share with anticipated revenue of $11.04 billion. Optimistically, Wedbush analysts foresee even higher earnings at $7.18 per share and revenue hitting $11.16 billion.
As we explore the broader landscape, grocery chain Albertsons (NYSE: ACI) will also disclose earnings this Tuesday. The semiconductor powerhouse ASML (NASDAQ: ASML), United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL), and consumer staple Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) are scheduled to report their earnings on Wednesday. Following them, Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT), GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE), and PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) will report on Thursday, with 3M (NYSE: MMM) concluding on Friday.
Understanding Economic Impacts: CPI Inflation
In addition to earnings announcements, two critical economic reports to watch this week include the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data expected on Tuesday. CPI inflation rose to 2.4% in May, signaling the first uptick since January. With ongoing tariffs, forecasts indicate inflation could reach 2.7% in June, along with a projected core CPI of about 3.0%, up from 2.8% in May.
The fluctuations in inflation could impact Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates during their upcoming meeting. The second key report will detail Retail Sales figures, which showed a decline of 0.9% in May. Economists forecast an increase of approximately 0.2% for June as consumer confidence aims to recover amidst challenging economic conditions.
