Can it be already? Yes earnings season restarts next week. 0 (0)

It seems not long ago the earnings season ended, but it’s back again with the latest earnings rotation starting next Friday when JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citibank and PNC announce their earnings. The financials traditionally start the season and with the recent banking concerns, the market will be interested in how the top tier banks view the landscape, along with one of the top regional banks (in PNC).

This week, JPMorgans Dimon was in the headlines saying that the banking crisis raised the odds of a recession, and that the crisis is not over yet. He also added:

  • Banking system is strong and sound
  • We are seeing people reduce lending a little bit, cut back a little bit, and pull back a little bit
