US Banks Are Now Preparing To Report Massive Losses

October 9, 2024

US banks are now preparing to report massive losses and shrinking margins according to new media reports citing fresh data.

According to a recent report, the largest banks in the U.S. are set to announce third-quarter results characterized by reduced profit margins and falling earnings.

JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo are scheduled to release their Q3 earnings this Friday.

Analysts predict that JPMorgan will show a nearly 8% decrease in earnings per share, while Wells Fargo is anticipated to report a nearly 14% decline, according to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).

Next week, Bank of America is also expected to report about a 14% drop in earnings per share, Citigroup is projected to see a 20% decrease, and Goldman Sachs may experience a substantial 35% decline.

This widespread drop in earnings is attributed to increasing deposit costs, weak demand for loans, and a decrease in net interest income (NII).

Despite the pressures from shrinking margins, banks are expected to generate robust revenues from other sectors, including investment banking and trading.

Analysts at Oppenheimer noted that consumer loan delinquencies have decreased and highlighted that banks have built significant reserves to address potential losses in office loans.

Oppenheimer also forecasts an average 7% increase in investment banking revenues across the industry, although banks may report a downturn in trading revenue due to a seasonal decline in trading volumes.
