Bank Stocks 'An Island of Stability' as Financial Institutions Set to Release Earnings

Wall Street banks and smaller competitors remain attractive investment opportunities as financial institutions are set to report earnings this week, according to analysts at BofA Securities and KBW."Our conversations indicate a long bias toward bank stocks that have emerged as an island of stability in a financials sector where stocks have been rocked by fears due to (artificial intelligence) disruption risks, and the adoption of digital assets," Ebrahim Poonawala, head of North American banks research at BofA, said in a note to clients.Long-only investors and portfolio managers are looking for proof that earnings momentum will continue into 2027, he said. That would make the group a "reliable play" as investors move away from chip stocks, Poonawala said.Bank stocks so far this year have performed better than the broader market. The KBW Nasdaq Bank Index is up about 14% so far this year, compared with a 10% gain in the S&P 500 Index."While this has pushed relative multiples higher, relative valuations remain well-below long-term averages," KBW banking analyst Christopher McGratty said in a July 8 note to clients.Banking giants JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Citigroup (C) are expected to release quarterly results before markets open in the US on Tuesday. Morgan Stanley (MS) reports Wednesday, followed by US Bancorp (USB) on Thursday.BofA's Poonawala said a key question for bank profitability is how firms are performing on net interest income -- the difference between the money a bank generates from interest-bearing assets such as loans and securities and the interest it pays out to depositors and lenders."Investors appear increasingly willing to tolerate modest margin pressure if banks can deliver improving NII," he said. "The key debate is whether management teams can offset deposit competition with asset repricing, loan growth, fee growth and operating leverage."Poonawala's favorite names in the banking sector are Citi, Morgan Stanley, State Street (STT), PNC Financial Services (PNC), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and US Bancorp. He categorized M&T Bank (MTB), Regions Financial (RF) and Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) as "crowded relative shorts," according to the note.Investors are looking for JPMorgan, the largest US bank by assets, to guide on net interest income and trends in capital markets, he said.If JPMorgan raises its NII guidance excluding markets and says there's no incremental increase in its expense outlook, it "could trigger sustained stock outperformance," Poonawala said.KBW said it is sticking with its view that so-called universal banks -- Wells Fargo, Citi, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs -- will continue to benefit from "multi-year structural tailwinds for capital markets and capital return."Stocks that KBW recommends investors hold overweight positions in include Morgan Stanley, PNC, Popular (BPOP), Flagstar Bank (FLG) and Hancock Whitney (HWC).KBW no longer expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year and believes the year will end with a Fed funds rate of 3.75%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond is expected to be 4.4% through the end of 2027, up from a previous estimate of 4.2%, KBW said. Gross-domestic product growth should come in at 2.1% this year and 2% next year, with unemployment between 4.3% and 4.5%, KBW predicted."A higher-for-longer interest rate outlook is firmly entrenched in market expectations," McGratty said in his research note.Another buoyant factor for banks was IPO volumes and mergers and acquisitions, he said."Investment banking results for (the second quarter) are expected to be strong with pockets of M&A advisory fees expected to aid top-line results, though equity underwriting is expected to be the story of (the quarter), with the bulge brackets set to benefit the most following elevated issuance from mega-deals pricing during the quarter," McGratty said.Deals in the quarter included SpaceX's (SPCX) record IPO in June.Matthew Leising

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 Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of State Street 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 $19 to $164, using a forward P/E of 13.3x our 2026 earnings estimate, compared to the three- and five-year historical averages of 13.5x and 13.0x, respectively. We think strong execution and low-teen Y/Y earnings growth are key drivers. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.65 to $12.35 and 2027's by $1.00 to $13.50 on projected revenue of $15.4B in 2026 and $15.7B in 2027. STT reported exceptional Q1 2026 results, demonstrating the strength of its diversified fee-based business model and disciplined execution. It realized return on equity of 11.6% and return on tangible common equity of 17.6%, vs 10.6% and 16.4% a year ago due to some one-time items. With book value at $87.33 and net tangible book value at $56.59, the current price multiples to these metrics are 1.7x and 2.6x, which we view as reasonable, provided we see earnings growth. STT shares currently trade at a 510-bp discount to the S&P 500, and capital returns were $400M in share buybacks and $233M in dividends in Q1 2026.

Research Alert: State Street Corp. Delivers Earnings And Revenue Beat

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:STT delivered strong Q1 2026 results with adjusted EPS of $2.84, beating consensus of $2.64, and total revenue of $3.80B (+16% Y/Y) driven by broad-based fee growth. The company achieved ROE of 11.6% and ROTCE of 17.6%, with record AUC/A of $54.5T (+17%) and AUM of $5.6T (+20%), while maintaining cost discipline with 86 basis points of operating leverage. We view STT's improved cost controls and strategic partnerships positively as key growth drivers supporting the investment thesis. Management maintained 2026 guidance for fee revenue growth of 4%-6%, single-digit NII growth, and expense increases of only 3%-4%, targeting 100 basis points of operating leverage. We believe STT is well positioned with its strong market position in asset servicing and management, and ability to manage costs amid moderating NII growth ahead. The company returned $633M to shareholders through $400M repurchases and $233M dividends, with a CET1 ratio of 10.6% providing adequate capital flexibility for continued growth.
