Last Updated:
A handful of the major banks are reporting their most recent financial results this coming week to kick off the new earnings season. Most of the financial stocks sampled here have outperformed the markets, despite the tumultuous China trade war. Also, the Federal Reserve is taking more of a neutral position on the question of interest rates, which could allow for these firms to grow from here.
24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major financial companies kicking off the new earnings reporting season. Markets have risen to record highs, and results from these major banks can set the tone for earnings going forward.
