The first quarter earnings season has officially started, with notable names such as JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, BlackRock, Citigroup, and PNC Financial Services all reporting their latest financial results.[0]<\/a><\/sup> Investors are watching for clues about stability, as the estimated 6.8% decline in first-quarter earnings is not just the lowest in two years, but also below the five-year earnings growth rate of 13.4% and the 10-year earnings growth rate of 8.7%. Credit quality trends at banks will also be scrutinized, not only as a measure of bank health but to get a read on the outlook for the economy.<\/p>\n

The big U.S. bank earnings reports will be studied even more carefully than before, with investors focusing on what the bankers say about the economic outlook, consumer credit quality, and business activity. The estimated 6.8% decline in first-quarter earnings is not just the lowest in two years, but also below the five-year earnings growth rate of 13.4% and the 10-year earnings growth rate of 8.7%. Credit quality trends at banks will also be scrutinized, not only as a measure of bank health but to get a read on the outlook for the economy.<\/p>\n

The earnings season will continue next week, with Bank of America and Goldman Sachs reporting on Tuesday, followed by Morgan Stanley and U.S. Bancorp on Wednesday. Regional banks, including Citizens Financial Group and First Republic Bank, are also due to begin reporting next week.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Overall, the first quarter earnings season is being watched closely by investors, as it will provide a glimpse into the health of the economy and the banking industry. With the estimated decline in earnings, there is added pressure for companies to perform well and provide positive outlooks for the future.<\/p>\n
