$Bank of America(BAC)$
The overall sentiment surrounding the Big Four's earnings reports is one of cautious optimism. While some analysts predict "much improved" investment banking revenue due to a rise in debt issuance activity, this might be offset by the headwinds of rising interest rates and potentially declining loan activity.
Here's a breakdown of how each bank might fare:
Citigroup (C): Meeting or slightly exceeding expectations hinges on the progress of their restructuring plan.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM): Meeting expectations seems likely, with investment banking revenue potentially exceeding forecasts.
Bank of America Corp. (BAC): Meeting or slightly missing expectations is a possibility, dependent on the strength of the consumer banking segment.
Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC): Falling short of expectations seems more probable due to lingering scandal effects and potential loan activity issues.
