Banking's Big Picture Ahead of JPM, WFC, GS & Other Big Bank Earnings

A flood of banking earnings with hit investors next week to kick off 2026's first earnings season. Stephen Biggar expects the biggest banks like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Goldman Sachs (GS) to experience "more of the same" uptrend thanks to fortress-like balance sheets and a favorable economic environment. One spot where he's wary: mid-sized banks and credit risks that reared their head in 2025. George Tsilis takes investors through an example options trade for JPMorgan Chase.
