Episode notes
Markets Driving Big-Bank Outperformance
- Strong markets and record capital-markets activity should boost big-bank revenue and profits this quarter.
- Trading results may beat conservative analyst estimates, creating upside to 2025-26 forecasts.
Interest Income And Loan Growth Tailwinds
- Improving interest income and pickup in commercial loan growth are tailwinds for bank earnings.
- Credit remains solid so reserve building should be modest, not a major drag.
Prime Brokerage And Broad Trading Strength
- Equity prime brokerage and record trading volumes are supporting banks' equities businesses.
- Fixed-income strength in rates and spread trading should make the quarter broadly strong across banks.
