Major US Banks' Second-Quarter Earnings Poised for Upside, BofA Says

Major US Banks' Second-Quarter Earnings Poised for Upside, BofA Says

Major US banks could top second-quarter earnings expectations amid gains from capital markets activity, with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) seen as having the "most interesting" setups heading into the results, BofA Securities said Tuesday.JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citigroup (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), State Street (STT), and Northern Trust (NTRS) may also raise their guidance for the second half of the year and 2027, the brokerage said. Several mega-cap banks are scheduled to release their quarterly results next week.BofA revised its second-quarter earnings-per-share estimates for the eight banks by 1.8% on average, indicating year-over-year growth of 27%."Capital markets should drive EPS beats, but it is the non-capital markets results that are more likely to drive stock price action," BofA analyst Ebrahim Poonawala said in a note to clients. "While (Wall) Street tends to look past trading/investment banking beats, potential for positive net interest income revisions and stronger wealth management flows likely get rewarded despite a high bar."JPMorgan and Wells Fargo have the "most interesting" setups heading into the latest prints, according to the note.JPMorgan's stock offers "the most asymmetric risk/reward," BofA said. The brokerage revised its second-quarter EPS estimate for the banking giant to $5.59 from $5.48 amid robust capital markets revenue growth. BofA raised its price target on the stock to $408 from $362.For Wells Fargo, the brokerage continues to expect second-quarter EPS of $1.72. It raised its price target on the lender's shares to $102 from $95. BofA, however, said investors must regain confidence that Wells Fargo can deliver superior growth without materially deviating from its 17% to 18% ROTCE guidance.Citigroup's stock is discounting a "significant" improvement in its return on tangible common equity, which could lead investors to seek better entry points for the stock, BofA said. The brokerage is now projecting second-quarter EPS of $2.65 for the bank, up from $2.60 previously. BofA raised its price target on the stock to $176 from $170.For Goldman, the brokerage now expects second-quarter EPS of $14.11, up from $13.18 previously. BofA boosted its price target on the stock to $1,150 from $1,050. "While there is little disagreement on the strong revenue backdrop for (Goldman), we believe investors will need to gain confidence in EPS/ROE defensibility, in order to gain comfort in holding the stock following the (year-to-date) outperformance," Poonawala said.BofA raised its second-quarter EPS forecast for Morgan Stanley to $2.81 from $2.71, also citing stronger capital markets revenue growth. The brokerage lifted its price target on the shares to $250 from $225.Price: $337.84, Change: $+0.11, Percent Change: +0.03%

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Northern Trust Corp.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target by $9 to $171, using a wider equity risk premium and forward P/E of 15.5x, a premium to the three-year historical average on operating earnings of 14.9x and five-year average of 15.1x. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $1.50 to $11.00 and 2027's by $1.40 to $11.75 on projected revenues of $8.8B (prior $8.6B) and $9.3B (8.9B), respectively. Shares have a dividend yield of 2.0%, and their 1.24 beta means they have slightly higher price volatility than the equity market. We think the bank's key metrics to drive shareholder value are organic revenue growth and wider margins. NTRS did not provide earnings guidance for Q2 2026 or full-year 2026. The bank raised its full-year NII outlook to mid-single-digit Y/Y growth. We like that AUM continues to grow with elevated equity markets and new inflows in both Asset Servicing and Wealth Management segments. Pretax margins continue to widen to 32% in Q1 2026 from 27.1% a year ago. NTRS bought back $359M and paid $151M in dividends in Q1 2026.

Research Alert: Ntrs Delivers Earnings Beat, But Revenue Miss In Q1 2026

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:NTRS delivered Q1 2026 EPS of $2.71, up 43% Y/Y, though revenue of $2.21B (up 14% Y/Y) was weaker than expected. Net interest income rose 15% Y/Y to $662M, benefiting from higher deposits and lower funding costs, while noninterest expenses increased only 6% Y/Y, demonstrating disciplined expense management. We believe NTRS's strong NII growth and operating leverage position the bank well as a methodical asset management and custody leader. Management expected to reaffirm its 13%-15% ROE target range and expect mid-single digit NII growth. Assets under custody/administration grew to $18.6T (up 10% Y/Y) and assets under management reached $1.8T (up 11% Y/Y), due to favorable market conditions and net new business. The board authorized a 7% dividend hike following strong capital ratios, with CET1 at 12.0% under the standard approach. We expect elevated equity markets and greater wealth accumulation to benefit NTRS as a premier private bank for high net worth individuals. More details after investor call.
