Based on: Historical Cycle
The Q2 2026 bank earnings season is running exceptionally hot: Goldman Sachs reported EPS of $20.98 vs $13.95 consensus (+50%), Bank of America $1.21 vs $0.89 (+36%). Morgan Stanley has beaten consensus in all four prior quarters; Q1 2026 EPS was $3.43 vs $3.04. With elevated M&A activity, strong Wealth Management (Nasdaq +0.9% on July 14 to 26,107), and a yield structure supporting net margins since April 2026, another beat is highly probable. The $2.89 consensus implies 35% YoY growth – conservative given sector tailwinds.
