To The Moon

Wall Street’s biggest banks are stepping into the spotlight this week as Q4 2025 earnings season explodes onto the scene. JPMorgan Chase fires the starting gun TODAY (Jan 13), followed by Citi, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo on Wednesday, then Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on Thursday. 📅

Bank stocks have been on a tear, smashing fresh highs on the back of a blockbuster 2025: surging investment banking fees from a dealmaking rebound, bumper trading revenues powered by market volatility, and surprisingly resilient credit quality. Analysts are forecasting solid profit growth for the financial sector, with trading and fee income expected to more than offset softer net interest margins in a lower-rate world. 🌍💰

But here’s the big question burning up the tape: Are these gains built on rock-solid fundamentals… or are valuations now stretched to the limit? 🧐 Bank stocks are trading near multi-year highs, and any hint of cautious guidance could spark a sharp pullback.

Key Metrics to Watch This Week 🔥

• Net Interest Margin (NIM): Pressure from lower rates is real, but most banks have already adjusted deposit costs and locked in higher-yielding loans. Look for stability or only modest compression.

• Loan Growth: Expect modest overall gains — consumer lending remains cautious, while commercial and industrial loans could surprise to the upside.

• Credit Trends: Delinquencies and charge-offs have stayed low despite recession fears. Any uptick in provisions would raise eyebrows.

• Capital Returns: Banks are flush with cash — huge buybacks and juicy dividends remain a major shareholder magnet.

• Guidance for 2026: The real fireworks! Investors want confident outlooks on deal flow, trading activity, and consumer health under the new rate regime.

Bottom line: The rally has legs if banks deliver strong numbers and paint a rosy 2026 picture. But if guidance disappoints or credit cracks appear, expect a reality check. 🔍
