Earnings season is just around the corner, and that means the big banks will be leading the way. While some are saying this earnings season isn’t significant (considering the coronavirus headwinds) the fundamentals released will be important in calculating the real impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Banks will be central in leading the economic recovery, through small business lending, among other things. The numbers that these institutions post will be an important barometer for what comes next.
24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major financial companies kicking off the new earnings reporting season. Markets are fighting back from their lows in March, and banks will be integral to the economic recovery.
